Great Course and Friendly Staff. Early in the year, no grill open. Really picturesque, being on the water. Can get tricky on the back 9.

Fast greens

This is an excellent course with challenging water hazards along the way. The biggest surprise was the quality of the greens this early. They were consistently fast with challenging but fair hole placenta. We would all 4 go back and we highly recommend this course.

Tough course for seniors

Played this course for the first time. Some water on nearly every hole but no tough carries from tee boxes. Short hitters will need to lay up on a few holes. Greens & fairways in nice shape. Course playability would really be enhanced if they put in a "White" tee box. Gold's are too long to score for most golfers and Silver tees are too short.

good but slow

For $25 per person, it's a great deal. only complaint is it was slow. they stacked up 2-somes and we finally got bogged down waiting behind 3 other groups on 8. By 10, it was still the same so we ended up playing front again...this was after skipping 2 old farts on 4 who were moving like molasses. Staff wasn't too eager to do anything about it. This was Thursday afternoon so figured we'd fly. If not for this, the course is nice.

Good amount of water!

If you are afraid of water - bring extra balls.
Condition of course was Good +.
Staff was friendly and helpful.
Due to high % of water hazards on course -probably slows pace.Scenery and condition made slow play more palatable.
Will play again!

Neighborhood Gem

This one-time private course has been open to the public for close to 10 years now. It is well maintained and had the best greens I've seen this year. Only 6300 from the tips, it represents a nice challenge or an opportunity to go low for the single digit 'cappers. No, or very limited food offerings, but there are plenty of great area restaurants close by.

Small urban course, harder than it looks

Played here with 3 of my friends with my free foursome reward just because it was the most expensive hot deal on the site.
Overall the course looks pretty easy, the funny thing is that all 4 of us ended up taking an butt kicking from this course, so don't be fooled by the looks of things, this course is pretty hard.
But... I think this course is overpriced and to small,
Still a good course to try out if you live in the area

The course had an excellent variety of holes and shotmaking. Very good value.

course in very good condition. greens held well and putted true. only detriment was the number of divots and ball marks left after an outing earlier. Staff is excellent.

Tight course watch out for other golfers shots

Miss hits turn into penalty strokes on a lot of holes. Very good greens well manicured. Complimentary driving range is a plus.
Great views of lake and nice club house!

Nice course. A hidden gem.

This course is beautifully set up around a lake. Almost all the holes are adjacent to water which makes it a bit challenging. It's not long (~6250 from back tee), but they made it so that you cannot bomb your drive on every hole, so it doesn't feel like a shorter course at all. Greens were in good shape and had above average speed. It's not a picture perfect course, but definitely a gem for the GolfNow price I paid.

Greens in excellent shape

Former private club now open to the public.
Although only 6200 yards from the tips, plays longer because there are some forced layup holes.
If you like target golf it's well worth playing.

Soggy!

The course was saturated with water, much more than expected for the amount of rain that fell the night before. This course must not drain well, due to its location next to a lake. The greens were extremely slow, due to them not being mowed that morning. Although it was wet, this course has some beautiful lake front holes.
