This course has not received maintenance in years but it is a great layout

The course has a very nice layout and friendly staff but it needs attention in the worst way. Come on, ownership, invest a little money in to your course.

Very Good Course for the Money

Great layout & scenery. Good value. Play the Blues to use the whole course. Greens and tee-boxes need some work. Bring bug-spray.

Worst Condition Ever

Play the course 4 or 5 times a year for last 15 years. This was the worst condition I have ever seen it. Accept no excuses...traps havent been touched yet this spring.....other courses are in great shape.....Rattle doesnt compare,,,,,Course has always had great potential, but lack of care from management is evident....prices have almost doubled....not worth the weekend or weekday rate at this point

The course was in improved shape from when I played it last year; the course is extremely challenging from multiple tees.

Great bargain for the price I paid on Golfnow.com.

First Time Playing

Good, could be great

This is a great layout and a fairly scenic course. The play was pretty slow, but the pro shop did I good job of trying to keep folks moving. I went as a single and was paired with two really fun people. The course would be a gem if it was maintained better. The greens were really slow, the fairways were full of dandelions, and the bunkers were hard panned. I would play all the time at 20-25 bucks, but I wouldn't pay more unless the conditions improved.

Like putting on the fairway covered in grass clippings?

For a former top 75 according to golf digest, this place is a joke. The staff is friendly, that's the only thing it has going for it. The grounds maintenance is non-existent. The rough is up to six inches tall in some places, causing you to lose ball after ball. All throughout the course there is trails of clumps of brown grass clippings, absolutely everywhere. The fairway is choppy and infested with dandelions, not to mention composed of almost half weeds. The grass on the greens is way too long and are the equivalent of putting on the fairway. We ended up deciding if you could get it within two feet the putt was good, that's how bad they were. They were covered in divots, dead spots, and tire tracks and trails, yes all of this was on the green. I was looking forward to playing golf all week long and was thoroughly disappointed to waste my only day off and only time I could go golf playing a ridiculous course where scoring good was impossible. The new owners have ran that place into the ground. As I pulled into the courses parking lot, I noticed it was empty. I definitely see why. I will never play this course ever again. It is the worst course I have ever played.

Blind shots, up hill shot, dog right and dog left

Bring your A game course challenges every shot in your bag. If you are not mentally ready the course will get the best of you.

A diamond in the rough. Tees a little hairy but course and greens in very shape. Every hole has a series of challenging shots.

When writing a review many people write about the course, however, I would like to write about the management and service. It was great! The owners are front and centre and are very welcoming. The Marshall and starter was outstanding and very accommodating. Just to have such great service before we even played the course set the tone for the day. The course needs a little TLC on the tees, but overall, the course is challenging but rewarding. My wife and I will definitely return, as it truly is a diamond in the rough

Great layout, terrible conditions

A fun course to play if you can find a good deal on it. Something under 25 might be worth it. I think the course would be one of the best in the area if it was in good condition.
