Course Review
The course has at least five challenging holes. Nice shape with some brown spots which is not unusual for this time of year. I thought $75 on Golf Now on a Sunday was over priced for this course.
Nasty starter
Had a 7:20am tee time. Showed up at 7:10am and asked the starter how things were going. He said the 7:10 group wasn’t there yet. I pointed out that all the 7:20 group was there and ready to tee off. He said he wasn’t doing anything until he heard from his boss. Heard him on the walk-in-talkie where his boss told him to let our group off. Then a group showed up who said they 7:30 so the starter said, “well, 7:30 is now 7:20 so tee off”. We ended up Teri g off at 7:35am. This was handled poorly and with of anger by the starter. Ruined the start of otherwise a fine day of golf
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.
Hot Day
It was hot but had a great time anyway. The west course is in great shape. Loved my round
Great value and very well taken care of for a public county course! Marty and staff make the place that much better and you always get in a solid round here!
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.
Excellent course in great condition!
Very beautifully renovated county course. Fairways and greens were in pristine condition, and staff really cares about the upkeep of the course.
