Fun Course

Looking for a quick 9 this course is perfect. Love the slopes. We paid for walking but they offered carts on site for an additional charge which was still a steal. Pace was excellent. Simple and a challenge. My buddies and I will be back.

Great place for beginners

Great place for beginners and average golfer. Fairways wide. A lot of hills. Cart recommended. Water coolers need to be colder.

Not what they advertise

I made this reservation because it was for "1 golfer". When I arrived, the person in charge told me I was going to play with 3 other people. I said this is not what they advertise and he responded that the golf course can't have one golfer on a Sunday, and he was not going to refund my money. I do nto recommend this golf course.

Are you new to the game?

That's what golf courses do. Tee times are four players. If a single spot is available online, it's because the other three are taken. This is not new, not unique.

The "person in charge" (pro shop attendant, starter, whoever it was) was completely correct.

Hilly and inclined fairways

Be aware of hilly and inclined fairways. Good to practice irons on non-flat surfaces but still challenging at the same time.

Great local course for the price

This is a great course, it’s slightly on the shorter and narrow side but the holes are really fun to play. Slightly challenging since there are a lot of hills and slopes but that adds to the fun. Greens are pretty fast. Overall for the price it is an excellent course to play.

Great Executive Course

Great Course! Get your short game ready! Only a few driver holes, but enough to excite you! You can rent a cart but it's worth the walk!
