Short but competitive

I enjoyed the day. Though it would be any easy course because of the shorter length but was surprised how challenging the course layout made up for the shorter total yardage. Many holes had me question myself risks verses rewards.

Hot Day!!

Course was definitely affected by the storm. A couple of the greens were in rough shape. Over all a decent course which isn’t super hard. The staff here is always helpful and the atmosphere is awesome.

Good luck finishing

I just discovered this course a couple weeks back and have played 4 times. The first was great, the rest.... not so much.

The facility is awesome , nice chipping and putting area and the range is a stones throw from the first tee. While it isn’t the longest course, it does have some long holes including a 217 yard par 3. The course forces players to actually hit golf shots which is pretty awesome.

If not for the hornet nests on 2 greens and the debris, the course would be pretty flawless.

The one major down side, getting stuck behind frat boys playing 10000 balls and looking for everything. Waiting is a part of the game , but if I wait 20 mins on one tee, I don’t ever wanna catch up again. Unfortunately, you will be waiting about 15 mins to tee off every time.

A well placed ranger would do wonders!!!

The snack shack at the turn is a great touch and the friendly staff make up for the pace at times, I recommend it, but be prepared for a 4hour and 30 min round.
