winter golf

I messed up, booked a hot deal tee time in advance, the weather changed, but not enough to close the course. There is no refund. I played four holes dry, eight holes wet, winter golf

Poor condition of greens

Wasn’t worth the money when most of the greens were unplayable. Then again it was after a snowfall but days prior, at least charge less money!

winter golf

The weather was 50+ but not enough to melt all the snow, so two holes had temp pins on the fairway,. The grees hit or miss depending on sun, drainage, basically winter golf.

Good value for your money

I paid $22 for 18 holes. Good value for my money

We had a slow foursome in front of us and it took three of us more than 4 hours to do just 16 holes. Then it got dark.

The weather was fat from perfect and the place was pretty empty but the pace was slow

Playing Late During Fall Season

So many leaves on the fairway & greens. You have to clear the path of your ball towards the hole. This is understandable since it is Fall season.

But there are so many bird (geese?) droppings on the fairways.

Also, the green on #9 & tee-off area of #10 is so close & dangerous for golfers teeing-off on #10.

This is a fun, friendly, challenging course. somewhat short course, but don't let that fooled you with the narrow tree line fairways. The course conditions there are on a constant upgrade for the better. Thank you for the improvement every year.

Not worth paying 75 bucks for 18 when some of the tee boxes are literally all dirt no grass. I went with a friend that wanted to play here so I was stuck in the automatic 5 1/2 rd madness.

Course condition and cost

Fall leaves all over the fairways and tees. If maintenance unavailable then at least lower the price for poor course conditions which results in longer pace of play.
