First Time Playing

Nice Course

The facility was bustling when we got there and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The course was well maintained and wide-open, making it hard to loose that occasionally mishit ball. In general a fun course for a high-handicapper.

This golf course has a unique party feel to it with the well-placed outside deck at the clubhouse. It's fun to sit there after the game and see how about 80% of golfers slice the ball off the first tee into the scattered trees or the adjacent fairway. It made me feel a little better about my golfing abilities, or lack thereof. The food was definitely above average for a public course.

Overall we really enjoyed the day and will be heading back there for more. Recommended.

A more challenging course than first impression

All around good quality course. Four holes on the front nine parallel two very busy noisy roads which I find distracting. Greens are excellent despite heavy play,

nice

Due to all of the rain lately, we did not get a gas cart and needed to use a pull cart, therefore, only able to play 9 holes...
