Construction significantly shortened 2 holes
I've played the West Course several times in the past really good experiences. Slow play is often a risk at muni courses, but our group got stuck behind a foursome that had no concept of ready golf (and they were in carts; we caught them on hole 2). We tried to be patient but decided to skip hole 5 to pass them (2 holes were open ahead of them) and a ranger didn't come by until we finished the 6th and were heading to hole 7. Greens looked like they were aerated a couple of weeks ago and hadn't yet been rolled (fairly slow), which is not unusual for his time of year. However, the bigger issue was that there is construction on the course which materially shortened holes 15 & 16, with hole 16 having the flag stuck in the middle of the fairway (no putting green at all). This should have been disclosed on the website and/or at check-in, and frankly, they shouldn't charge full price for rounds that cannot be included in a GHIN handicap. I will not return (and wouldn't recommend this course to anyone) until the construction is complete and holes 15 & 16 are returned to their normal length.
Nice Course
Very well run county course. Friendly staff and nice conditions. Will definitely go back whenever I get a chance!
4 or 5 holes were very awkward to me not a normal layout
Great golf course
I like the East course better than the West. It has a good mix of different holes with a very interesting layout which makes for a fun round. The East course is harder to walk than the West course because it is more hilly so I recommend taking a cart.
Super nice
This course was fantastic! Every staff member was super nice and excited to help (which can be rare these days). The only complaint I would have is just a 5 and a half round is just crazy ! I can’t even be mad at the ranger because he definitely tried to have them pick up the pace .. a 18 round should never take more than 4 hours .
Bugs! Bugs ! Bugs!
Really nice golf course . That being said, my
round was ruined by a rediculous amount of
Small biting nats. Then a bee bite.,Trip to
Urgent Care and two sleepless nights with
Crazy itch. When they are gone, I’ll definitely be back.
Bugs! Bugs! Bugs!
I came very close to walking in to what turned out to be a lovely golf course. There were nuts all over the place. It was so bad. I got bitten so many times also had a beast thing and ended up in urgent care after a sleepless night. I will definitely return once I’m sure the weather turns colder and the bug problem no longer exists. Not sure what the Club could do to currently fix this problem.
Nice walkable course
The west course is mostly flat so it is good for those that enjoy walking the course. There's a good amount of water. Recommend bringing bug repellent. The course is good for those who like to hit the driver. Not an overly challenging course but it is still very nice and enjoyable to play.
Well maintained and nice layout
The course is in very nice shape and offers a nice layout. Definitely one of the nicest courses in the area.
