Horrible tee boxes

I had to search for grass on the tee boxes. Last 2 years they have raised prices. This money should go towards tge up keep.

Enjoyable course

This a nice short 18 hole course. Location is easy to get to. The fairways and greens were in very good condition considering its late July and temp's in low 90's. I will absolutely play here again as this was my first time here and now I know the layout.

Fun!

Had a good time as a first time player. Course was fun to play and player friendly with challenges. Cart paths were unkept and greens were very soft. (Very sandy beneath the green when I used repain tool.). Overall I’d play again. The snack shack at hole 10 was so clutch and the clubhouse bar was awesome for done after round drinks!

Good Course For Average Golfer

Course has had a lot of changes over the years. The greens were much better than they were the last time I would play here...2 years ago. Fairways are average, but Layout is decent, and sprayers won't lose too many balls. It's a walkers course so pace of play is usually pretty slow.. We got a decent price, but if it was more I wouldn't play.

It’s nice to see a beverage cart on the course. I wish the ball washers had the water changed once a week and there was fresh drinking water on the course. Overall the greens and fairways are in really good shape. Some of the tee boxes we really beat up like hole 7. I do see improvement 😀

Do not play this course

By far the worst course and staff in the state. Anyone giving this course a good review either works for the course, or is a relative of someone who works for the course. DO NOT waste your money.
