I signed up for a riding cart but would not allow me to use one.

I was very disappointed because I paid for a riding cart and wasn’t allowed.

With so many courses in the area still turning away kids, it was refreshing to be welcomed at this course with our kids to spend some quality family time and pass on the sport of Golf. Course need to wake up and be more like Lost Spur!

Lost Spur

This course needs some attention. The driving range condition is very poor - uneven turf, too many weeds, etc. It is difficult to warm up under these conditions. The tee boxes on many holes are in similar condition. This could be a fun course, with some attention to maintenance. There also should be an employee manning the restaurant. There is often no one present.

Nice Challenging Little Course

Pros: greens kept well, not terribly fast but balls rolled without interruption. Fairways also in nice shape, with few divots marks. Clubhouse has a nicely setup bar. Food is pretty standard, but not in a bad way.

Cons: pace of play. It’s always a little crowded on nice weekend days. Shocker, right?! ;)

A Nice 9 hole Gem in the South Metro

This is a tight tree lined course with lots of variation.

Up hill shots, down hill shots. I think it is suited more for the intermediate golfer who has a few rounds under their belt, than the beginner.

If you are a straight, center of the fairway hitter, you should do well. If not, it is still a lot of fun trying to get up and down.

Really nice course. Too bad it was so slow.

We thought the course conditions were outstanding. Greens were great.

This course has so much going for it. The location is quite nice. Beautiful views.

It was a Saturday and it was busy. Quite slow but we still had a fun outing.

Short & Average

Nothing special about the course whatsoever. Par 4 is definitely a loose term for this course - an average length hitter could probably drive 3-4 of the greens. A couple fun holes, but nothing to write home about.

Beautiful View

We really enjoy playing this course. It has a beautiful view of the river and the course is well maintained. I enjoy having some hills on the course. We live most of the year in Florida which is pretty flat. We have recommended this course to many others.
