Learning the course

It is a big place. There were no signs on where to start or a course layout.

The clubhouse was fantastic with attentive and friendly staff.

Excellent layout

Course is in very good shape…although greens still healing from aeration. This is a challenging track and good value.

Good public course.

Very pleasantly surprised with the experience. The course was in good shape. Thought it played long compared to other public courses, which is a good thing. Played the West course. Looking forward to playing the East course.

Great as always!

Great course as always. We were about 15-20 min late due to traffic for our tee time on a day that was fully booked with tee times. They still found time for us to get out and enjoy the round. Love the course and the people!

Not a truthful course

Played Friday on April 22 and they aerated the greens on Tuesday and there was no notification online, not right they should have had some kind of alert so people can make their decision.
