Up and down and around

Mostly straight hole but up and down hills will challenge your game

Fun public course

There are a lot of challenging hills and valleys on this and a fun down hill blind green on hole 4. I hoping the greens get better over the spring/summer as right now they are rutted and unpredictable.

Great value for the area

Incredibly reasonable price and fairly well maintained considering. A few drainage issues but still had a great time. Some shorter Par 4’s can make it pretty exciting as well. Would/Will definitely play here again.

Holes on top of one another.

Keep your head on a swivel.

Like the undulating layout

Short, straight 9 hole course with nice elevation changes.

This was a fun, very walkable, 9 hole course. I enjoyed using 3 clubs borrowed from the clubhouse without extra charge. 2nd 9 holes was free. It was surprisingly difficult to par or birdie any of the holes. Honestly I was just happy to be out playing golf this late in the season!

Lack of Knowledge

They really need a ranger. Due to the close together nature of the holes and lack of golf etiquette shown, this has the potential to be dangerous. Balls were flying across holes without a single “fore” called. Saw a guy driving on both the tee box and the green itself.

Kind of a joke if I’m being honest.
