3PM - Wednesday (Walking)

This is a get what you pay for course. Not something that I would play on the weekend but to practice some irons, some putts, some chipping, and walk 18 this place gets the job done. Can’t beat $35 for a late April weekday tee time.

Needs Maintanence

The course could be a quality golf experience, but the staff were no where to be found and the one contact I had was not very friendly. Additionally, the tee boxes were not cut properly and the bunkers were more dirt than sand. Overall, the course needs much care.

Overall Pleased

With no starter, the pace of play definitely became a concern. But the course conditions pleasantly surprised me! It’s a well maintained, walkable and reachable course for all skill levels. I’ll be back!

Terrible pace of play

No starter out, pace of play is not maintained at all turned into a terrible round and did not get a chance to even finish a full 18 as the course was extremely backed up and zero effort was put into fixing it

Early season round

A day early before cart were available but was walking anyway. An easy walking course. Greens were surprisingly in amazing condition for early April.

Staff very friendly. No starter yet but didnt need one. Not thst crowed and people were moving at a nice pace. Finish in just under 4hrs

Old people are slow

Stuck behind a group of old ladies. They took 45 minutes on the first hole. We skipped them just to get stuck behind yet another group of old guys. 9:20 tee time caught up to the 8am tee time by hole 5. This course needs to send people out on hole 10 to space things out. First 4 holes are short and things back up very fast, doesn’t open up til the first par 5 on hole 9.

The worde

Have played here many times and do so just because it’s convenient. The tee boxes were horrible. Staff is very rude. Course was in horrible shape. The starter lets out singles behind a foursome instead of pairing people up. A sky show on the course

Run of the mill

Everything about this course was OK. Probably wouldn't go back, no issues or anything but there are nicer courses around for the same price.

Great little course.

This is a great little course with wide fairways. Greens appear flat but are tricky. The doglegs force you to plan your club selection and shot type. We will be back.

Dogtrack!

This course is in such bad shape that I'm better off at the high school on their football field. I can't even begin to tell you how awful this course is. Stay away, better off indoors at playing a golf simulator.

The only place there weren't any weeds was on the greens, and the greens had brown patches, hard dirt, and some shaggy grass here and there....Bunkers, ha! No sand to be found. It's a disgrace of a golf course and to top these conditions, the pace of play is absurd. People who don't know how to play golf seem to find this place.
