Sad but true

Everything is great there. I gave 1 star for the staff because the guy at the turn in the concession stand isn't friendly at all and has an attitude. About a month ago we 3 played, stopped to get a bite 2 eat. We each placed an order and he was annoyed because we didn't order all at the same time. He claimed it was too much trouble to run back and forth to the kitchen. One of us ordered while the rest of us weren't sure what we wanted. Didn't know that was a crime. He's in 10 foot trailer. How far did he have to walk. He made the same comment again today. Don't like your job, quit. Definitely not a people person. He should be reprimanded. We're not there for him, he's there for us. Probably won't order from there any more. It's a shame, because everything else and everyone else is great there.

Nice course layout

Good course in terms of length and difficulty, but not in the best shape, although it is early April and of course understand it’s been raining a lot. Some of the tee boxes had considerably long grass, but probably due to course renovations. My tee time was supposed to include a cart but I was told you can’t ride at that time (4:48 tee time), which was frustrating but they did provide a push cart. Course has great potential just need to improve on the maintenance.

Good practice course

Great for a quick practice round but I wouldn’t take a drive and pay good money for the course every hole has sand on the greens I played on a wet day and my ball would turn into a sand ball. The part that doesn’t make sense is some holes didn’t even have sand near them so how can there possibly be sand like they dropped sand on the greens on purpose

Not a walking $50 course

Course is basic at best. Not really challenging. Tees were up. Wish I would have known. Course needs to be shut in late fall ang into winter to let it grow in.

Good course for beginning of season

Great for practice rounds to work on all parts of your game. Good mix of tight and open holes. I feel sorry for the righty slicers, missing right is bad on a lot of holes.

Rip off

So I paid for a cart & 18 holes and received 18 holes and a walk.. no one thought of decreasing the amount. No one thought of taking off the price for the golf cart I paid for. Golf now people called to to let them know to change the time, yet we my group arrived the rude guys at the front desk was just, well rude. My group will stay wide of this place and golf now.
