Good course for sharpening your game.

Nice little course, with some nice challenging shots. Hole 6 is a nice blind shot to the green that can make you get creative with a hill and tree.

Small course, good for practice

Small course, but big enough and challenging enough to tune up your skill. All 3 par 3s have different challenges.

Pretty Terrible

The course is basically tee boxes with greens. There is no "fairway to speak of". It's just whatever grass or dirt patches happen to be there. The started tried to stop me because of a "frost warning" even though 6 groups had teed off before me and the temp never got below 40F the night before. Despite the GolfNow listing saying it was 18 holes with cart, the cart was an additional 36 bucks. They don't make space to play the 2nd 9, they just squeeze you in between other 9 hole rounds. No dress code either. About as bad an experience as you can get.

For the money it was ok

Fairways need some work, greens and tee boxes were fine.

Man I really didn’t want to do this

Unfortunately the course looked poor. Honestly. Field was burned. There were so many patches of just dirt and rock. Bumpy. Terribly tree roots. Really really funky court layout. It felt like. I was playing at an open park at certain parts. Literally, it felt like being at the park with random people just all around you some areas get extremely congested and awkward. There was a lot of weeds and the rough were in really bad shape in some areas of the far away. It was absolutely horrific. The greens were nice though. I did enjoy all the greens and I thought the carts were really good as well. Staff was super super friendly And no complaints about the staff at all.

I played this course for the first time. The fairways are located very close to each other so you have to be careful to hit in the right direction. Fortunately, the staff was very helpful in describing the layout. The maintenance crew was watering the greens ahead of our round This was a bit surprising since it slowed us down a bit. There are very short cart paths. We drove from hole to hole on the grass. Overall, it is a great value when compared to other courses I’ve played.

Course in poor condition

It is a tight nine holes course. Fairways and greens in poor condition. Clubhouse is the smallest I’ve seen
