Nice course

Staff is friendly, course is challenging with narrow fairways. The tee boxes were a bit threadbare last time I played, but we’ve been having little rain. I enjoy the course.

Should be 9 holes

Virtually every aspect of the course needs change. The simple solution is to avoid it. Another solution would be to cut down numerous tree and wide the fairways. Make it double wide by making it a 9 hole course.

Forge pond

Love this course, its well kept for a county course. I play here often. Its not overly challenging and its fun to play. Slow play is a problem sometimes and the rangers dont really care, they are all over you if you dont drive your cart 90 degree. All in all its a really good, fun course.

Nice Short Course!

I was surprised to find out the course was a Par 60 but don’t let that stop you from playing here! Being a public course and county funded, I felt the shape of the course was amazing and there were some challenging layouts to be played! The staff was very friendly and knew the answers to all of my questions. I would definitely recommend the course especially if you like your irons!

If you like this place, there is something wrong with you

No one with authority to make changes has golf experience. If you love the game you will hate this course.

Good 9 better than bad 18

This course is too short too narrow and too missed up. I think they should make changes like wideer and longer. They could make it a really good 9 hole course like Colonial Terrace. It is not fun!

Try a driving range instead

This place will make you have your golf game and golf! The only thing I can think of, to make it worse, is "landmines"!

Worst Costumer Service Ever

Booked online.

When I got there the Pro Shop guy tried to make me pay full price for my 3 yo to “Spectate”. Most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. The kid is going to eat goldfish crackers and drink juice while my Wife and I try to have a nice Sunday Outing.

Ended up leaving without playing. If I could give it a negative star I would. Should have known. Coming from a Municipal Course. Amateur Hour.

Not for real golfers

From tee box to green, a message you can't avoid, "we don't give a darn about you or your golf game.

Sad for the few very nice people that work there.
