Played by myself w no one behind me, so I got to play 2 balls. There was a 3 some of ladies ahead of me, who felt it necessary to celebrate every shot. And hold a pow wow on the green after each putt. Getting off the green wasn't their strong point. All in all a fun round. I'm looking forward to playing it again ,in a few weeks when the weather cools off.

First Time Playing

1st timer

The staff inside the Pro shop couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. With that being said, the friendliness stopped there. The starter would've had to cheer up to become gruff. Smiles were not to be found. I'd kill to have that job. When he directed me to head to the putting green to warm up,I politely declined, and said I was good waiting, he got a little snarky. Hey, maybe he was having a bad day. Otherwise it was a nice time. Tee boxes were beat up, but it's been a hot summer. Greens are immaculate. It's a fun, quirky executive course. And for every ball at least I found 2 more. Had a fin time. Would definitely recommend it.

Not Much to Rate

Course is short, most greens in decent shape, fairways/tee boxes not, cart paths are about the worst I have driven/walked on in recent times, didn't expect and pay that much and that was what we got, also no ranger to push pace, two very slow groups in front of ours, had no clue about etiquette, no need to return.

Great Executive Course

I really enjoyed this course, was great to work on my iron and short game. Course was well maintained. The staff especially Joe was awesome and very informative on everything. I would 100% recommend for people that want to work on their short game. I am going back next week

Great bang for buck practice course

Par 60 great course to leave your driver at home & practice iron shots. You'll also have plenty of 100 yards & in wedge shots too. Early tee times recommended it can get crowded with walkers.

Painfully Slow Dump

Have played this course last summer a few times as a last resort while in the area and never expect much of the course. Today was the worst time though, left after 9 due to horribly slow pace of play. 2 1/2 hours to play 9 on holes or a short executive course is wild.

Conditions are also horrible. The greens are about the only thing about this whole course that are decent in good shape and roll nice. Tee box’s are mostly dirt, the “cart paths” are actually muddy bumpy not paved dirt trails that flood somehow even if it hasn’t rained in days. Staff was pretty overly rude any time I’ve played here which doesn’t tend to bother me most places as I just breeze though and get right to the tee box or practice area.

I can’t recommend this course to anyone unfortunately. I know you get what you pay for but even for the very cheap price it’s not worth it unless you want a 5+ hour round on a 3900 yard track.

Slow greens and tee boxes where mostly dirt cart paths rough. The good news the greens are very good shape except people should repair ball marks you can do it with a tee. The people are nice
