Needs some attention

I really like this course layout, but the conditions left room for improvement. Tee boxes and fairways were TOO long, occasional sprouts in the fairways were knee high. For the price ($70+ tax) I was a bit dissapointed to have my friends from 4+ hours north play a course they commented looked like the courses up there this early in the season (Mid-April). Given the warm weather we've had here it is sad. For $50, it might not have mattered. You can't charge in season rates if you don't have in season care and conditions.

Slow & poor management

Maybe one of the most mismanaged courses in the country. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Will Be Back!!

First time on this course! Staff extremely friendly in the clubhouse! Course is very hard...lots of water hazards and sand traps but we managed. Weather was perfect and we will be back to try again!!! Greens could use some work but that is just nit picking.

Ungodly Slow

This place always plays slow but today was the worst. They pack the course and have 0 marshal presence/enforcement. Today we completed 18 holes in 5 hours and 48 minutes.

I hope to never play this course again.

There is obviously nobody managing this place.

Birdies!

Great track with a perfect mix of holes. 11 is an amazing par 5 that only in the right conditions can be reached in two. Lots of strategy involved with this course. And of course 17 the narrow drivable par 4. 🤌

Golf intéressant

Un bon dessin pour des trous variés. Les fairways sont larges, les Par 3 sont longs. Malheureusement le parcours a souffert des conditions météo.
