Too expensive for what it jd

Decently kept course but the greens were thick and very slow today. Got paired and had to ride with the most annoying individual I’ve ever golfed with, which definitely detracted from the enjoyment. Overall this course is not worth its high price whatsoever. I have played several other courses in the area for about half as much that was in just as good conditions and greens that roll true instead of extremely slow.

Good course if you can get a hot deal

I enjoyed the course layout and the conditions were solid but no way it is worth the price they are charging. $110 during the week and up to $180 on the weekend is absurd. If you can get a tee time with a hot deal I’d say it’s worth it but if not money can be spent better elsewhere

Outrageous pricing

Who in their right mind decided this course with no range and minimal practice area is worth 167 on the weekends. Pretty nice conditions but no where close to that price tag. Get a grip lol

Spring has sprung

Second time playing here, first time this season.

Played on a Monday, noon tee time, the course was very busy as the parking lot closest to the clubhouse was full.

We teed off on time, got to the 10th tee around 2pm, back nine played slower.

The course was a bit soggy, so it was "cart paths only" all day. Greens were still recovering from aeration, but were rolling ok for the most part. Some bunkers were unplayable, there was casual water here and there. Its still early spring and there has been rain recently, conditions were typical of the season..

Fee was cheaper than I paid late last summer..

Needs Work

I was utterly and shockingly disappointed by this golf course. First of all, if you’re going to charge the 90 dollars to play a round, you better make sure your facilities are up to PAR. The fairways are beat up, the greens are all beat up and it was WET! There is no drainage at all. Playing in the mud! The car path was completely submerged in water on one of the holes and the crew was pumping that water into one of the bunkers. Most of the bunkers are not really bunkers. The greens are fairly challenging and unique. But most importantly, if you’re going to charge that much money to play here make sure the course is ready to play.

Need a Refund

Golf course closed due to weather, no email notification from GolfNow of closure. Called the course for an hour before getting a hold of someone to confirm closure.

Way too expensive for what it is

The course is OK for a public course, but it is extremely overpriced for what it is. If there’s absolutely nothing else available in the area you might consider playing it but you would be better off paying half of what they charge
