We only played the front 9 holes, started off very slow. It looks like they have been spending a bit on tree removal and pruning, nice improvement. Still a lot of work to be done there. Worth it for twilight rates, I don’t feel this is a $40 course though.

Very short, but fun.

I’d highly recommend this course to any new players or anyone who doesn’t hit it too long. However if you hit it long and straight, this won’t be much of a challenge.

Pace of play was great, staff was great. Greens were in good condition albeit very small.

I didn’t care for the layout of the holes. Lots of tight fairways with little to no room for error on either side. They didn’t overlap per se, but lots of blind shots with potentially dangerous crossing. Tee shots that slice or hook are likely headed toward another group.

I did see a deer tho, so that was pretty cool.

Only one issue, no forward senior tees. Unless your swing speed is 90 mph or faster you're unfortunately have to play from the ladies tees.

Not a fan of blind shots, and there are many out there, and slow play. Not for me.

Fairly challenging course...Some open fairways.. a few tight ones..plenty of trees/hazards...well designed.

The maintenance standards have improved but still a few tee boxes need to be even out further.

First Time Playing

Enjoyed the experience

I'll say from the start that I can't speak for the normal pace of play. I played as a single and had the first tee time at 6 AM. I finished my round in just over two hours, which is normal for me when I do that.

That said, I really enjoyed this course. The young man in the clubhouse was very nice and accommodating, and got me off to a great start. Any staff I encountered on the course, which happens a lot on early morning rounds, let me get past them quickly.

The layout is very good. While short, it puts a premium on being accurate off the tee. That's my guess to why the reviews mention pace all the time. Bad golfers have no business playing here. It's short, but tight, although I found the landing area for my tee shots to be more than fair. The greens were tough. Smallish, and very quick. You need to be below the hole to score well. Most greens slope back to front, so their very receptive. I hit in one trap during the round, and the ball exploded out of the sand as I would have expected. You can tell they are working on improving the conditions. Fairways were really nice. Tees are below average, but again, I could see efforts to make them better. That's all you can ask. They certainly didn't hinder my game.

There's lots of character in the layout. Elevation changes, combined with holes shaped to fit the terrain make for careful decisions on tee shots and approaches. I love courses that make you think about when and how to attack. I'm sure I might have had a different experience had I played in a foursome about the time I was finishing. Likely would have been a five hour round, which I would expect on a tight course on a weekend. For me, the only negative thing I encountered was having to dodge fairway sprinklers all during the round. But that's what's making the course better, and you get what you get at 6 AM. Reminded me of early morning summer rounds from my youth.

I'll definitely play this one again.
