My Home Course

Its a great city owned track.. Great Holes, rewards you for good shots, penalizes you for fade, slices.. Great greens.. Usually can get my 9 holes done in under an hour first thing in the morning..

Fun course; Charge to much

This course has a fun layout. Has always charged more than what the course is worth. There are many courses in the area that are in similar condition which are more reasonable price wise.

Decent Track

1st time I played 18 holes here and I was impressed. Groomed well and though there is not much contouring but many challenges

Greens offer challenges as well but run true

Pace of play was problematic because one group slowed the course down. They need rangers to assist

Also my wife and I walked the front nine two weeks ago. Good track for walking I’d recommend this course

Solid course

The course was being aerated so it was a little rough in places. Staff was very friendly, descent course overall. It was extremely busy, golfers were slow.

Waste of a day

If you want to waste time from your day and barely play golf this is the place. 2 hours after six holes with two groups in front waiting to tee off on hole number 7 is the most ridiculously slow pace of play I have ever been a part of. I don’t recommend this course because there is no ranger to try and speed the pace up and they stack tee times every 8 minutes so they don’t care if pace is slow they just want your money.

The course pace of play was aweful...

It took 6 1/2 hours to play 18 holes... This was the longest time I have ever take to play a round of golf. Would not recommend.
