Pace of play— ouch

It would be a great course but they don’t manage the players or the pace of play. Example of the issues you face:

I was (hoping) playing 18 and just finished the 9th and approaching the 10th and two new golfers suddenly appeared and jump in front of us to play the back nine. It was already slow. Leading to an awkward confrontation at the 10th hole. There is simple no one who watches or cares on the course.

Good value

I always enjoy playing this course. The bunkers were in good shape and the greens were super fast but also in pretty good shape. The pace of play was slow, especially on the front nine. It got much better on the back. All in all, a very nice course.

enjoyed the course

course upkeep nd layout was very good. most holes were wide open. Playing blue tees lengthens the course to about 6400 yds. couple of very challenging holes. green well kept. would play again.

Save your money, go else

Horrible! This course has seen much better days. Haven't played here since 2021, and omg! No starter to regulate anything, starting at hole #1. Tee boxes were a joke. Almost zero grass and beat up. Greens also horrible. ZERO attempt to blow any leaves pre golf. Pace of play was very slow however while teeing off at 17, we finally saw/heard the ranger buzzing around. He picked up one piece of paper with a trash scooper and went on his merry way lol My backyard is better than this place but to boot! We were charged $70 including a cart. WTH. This course is more in line of a raggedy pitch & putt. Save your money & go elsewhere. I will not be returning.

There are better options

For the pace of play alone I would refrain from recommending this course. But that is only one of many things that make playing there unpleasant. The "Ranger" is abrupt and sometimes even simply rude. When he is actually there. The whole feel of the place is blah.

Suitable for beginners to practice.

This course has potential. Currently it’s a bare minimum course suitable for beginners to get on and practice. Would not recommend for regular players. The worst is, the golf carts were filthy with bird droppings .

Not bad for the price

Decent little course that not many people know about. Greens were soft but true. Course isn’t difficult but there are some blind shots. Very few hazards. Tee boxes could’ve used some help, but if you’re using a tee it doesn’t matter so much. Only drawback was the weirdo running the snack shop at the turn. Where did they get this guy??? I think he auditioned for Deliverance and got rejected for being too creepy.

Short but still a decent challenge

Decent course. Mostly short par 4s. Fairly open but good bunkers and OB on some driving holes. The bar and grill is very good.
