Diverse shot making and very walkable course

Even though this course is short, it provides a wide array of holes that you must navigate and think through. A lot of cool dog legs, and long par 3s, some cool risk reward holes where you can take it over trees, the greens are well maintained. It's a great walking course. I wish the rangers would push the pace a little bit tough.

Greens rolling true

Course in good shape including the sand traps! Greens rolling medium-to-fast but rolling very true! Good value for $25 but $15pp for cart seems steep to me (maybe I'm getting old? LOL) . Even with cart price it's good value though. Will definitely go back soon!!

Great condition

Fairways are nice and Greens are spot on. Helpful staff guides you as a first timer. Big facility overall. Played the East Course, a little short. Many irons off the tee, but was still challenging and a pleasure to play.

Solid Local Spot

Price was as expected for a round in the area. Upgrades made over the last few years completely changed the course and experience. Will definitely play it again. Bar/restaurant had excellent food and drink choices for a post round lunch.

Very well maintained course

Many blind shots due to hills but a good challenge. Some holes are confusing from the tee box esp hole 7. Many creeks to watch out for.

Great course

I’ve played twice once on each course(east/west). Driving range is not bad and the small bucket is a good deal (55ish balls I think). Starters on both sides are very personable and friendly. I’m newer and they offered tips, advice etc. the people I played with were exceptionally helpful. Course is in great shape. East was a bit more fun for me since I could tee off with a variety other than a driver. West is probably a bit more challenging but still plenty of room for beginners. You won’t lose many balls.

As far as of course-. Pro shop is nice looking and clean. The staff there is friendly and fun to talk to. Bathroom was clean. Overall everything seems to be well taken care of.

Overall I highly recommend it. I will definitely play here again. It’s towards the top of courses(if not the top) I check to see if they have a tee time that meets when I can play.
