Okay for the price

The course was in decent shape, but the course design, staff, and amenities were lacking.

Great staff and great course

I played just after the rain so everything was soaked. But even in that the condition was still great aside from what Mother Nature delivered. The guy at the counter was also very friendly and helpful. Definitely play here if you’re looking for a nice walkable 9 hole course

Great value!

I like this course because it’s not too crowded, has 9 challenging holes (and many times you can play 18) for a very reasonable price. There are no real amenities but I don’t care about that. The conditions on Tuesday were okay but I found that I lost a lot of balls simply because I couldn’t find them amongst the fallen leaves.

Too Crowded

The course was in pretty rough shape, but the biggest problem cannot be fixed by maintaining the course better.

The course is in such small space that there is not enough room between the holes and any slight sliced tee shots will land on the tee box of another hole.

Speaking with some of the regulars in the group, it looks like being hit with a golf ball is not uncommon in the course.

In my single 9 holes we had at least half a dozen balls land within 30 yards of us. It feels like more of a safety hazard than anything else.

Great course for starters

I played this with my 11yr old, and it was great. It is a short course and was perfect for my young son. The pace of play was also great, we finished in 2 hrs.
