Unremarkable

This course is good enough if you want to just get out and swing. There are no even remotely challenging features in this course so it’s a great course for beginners. The pace of play was really good as I finished my round in about 3:45. Staff was really friendly and for 45 bucks to walk 18, it’s priced about right. Would I play here again? Probably not unless friends invited me.

There is one super annoying thing that really bothered me that would definitely keep me away even if the course was a more challenging track. They’ve got this restaurant in the clubhouse area that plays super loud music that you can hear throughout the course. I’m one of those “no music on the course “ guys and this really bugged me. I found it so strange. I’ve played rounds with “music while they play” guys and that’s always annoying. I never thought I’d have to deal with that from a course.

Nice course

The course was in very good shape. Not many leaves for end of November. Driving range, putting and chipping green is a bonus. Restaurant and halfway house are very good. I will be playing this course again.

Great Coarse

I enjoy playing the eocc , the Starter is extremely friendly and Professional. He sets the pace of play which only relies on the players to keep it going. He will get you out early if possible.

Rude Staff and Closed Facilities

I played at this course several times this past season and also paid for rounds of my friends and coach. When you combine this with the money spent on range balls, drinks, and food, I spent thousands of dollars there this past summer. I am a holder of their basic $60 card as well.

The course itself is pretty decent. It's not in great shape, but it's not in bad shape. I have had several personal best scores here, so I will be rooting for them to improve..

The starter and ranger at this course are often very rude. They've been rude to me on more than one occasion and I've seen them be rude to patrons more times than I can count. There really needs to be some work put into retraining or potentially replacing staff that treat customers rudely.

They also need to look into a better mechanic or maybe buying a new ball picker for the range. The range is often closed because they can't get any balls. Sometimes the course itself is closed for no reason as well. I've driven here at least 10 times on sunny days when I wanted to practice or play and the range or course were closed.

Also, don't hit practice balls on the range when the picker is broken and there are no balls to be bought... the aforementioned rude starter or ranger will scream at you. I saw the starter scream at a 75 year old man like a child for hitting some of his own balls since the picker was broken again. I also heard the starter telling older golfers they need to learn to "just putt quickly so he can go home on time." Heaven forbid you take a minute to plan your putt for a par or birdie on this guy's watch. Absolutely ridiculous behavior.

This course is very close to me and so I really wish it was better given the convenience. I may try it again at some point but at this point in time- I won't be giving EO any more of my few thousand dollars in annual business.

weekend play good

pace of play was relatively good for a weekend. tee boxes. staff and golf carts in good condition. One problem in trying to play, was the annoying music from the onsite restaurant. you can hear it on most holes. greens trying to recover from over use, fairways in good condition, and roughs reasonable. Will be back!

Solid, Easy Course

Course is great for beginners. Holes are rather short and very straight, few hazards (water, woods, etc.)
