Wonderful little course in terrific condition.

Gorgeous short course with challenging holes in a beautiful setting. Thick bluegrass rough and fringes demands accurate shots. Greens are consistent, fairways are lush and even...it’s a flat out fun place to play.

A gem of a course

This is one of my all time favorite courses. It’s not a monstrous championship course, it’s a wonderfully laid out executive course. Really tests your short game and par three skills. Always in good condition for the amount of play it gets. A hidden gem for sure

Really enjoyed playing here again. Well maintained and courteous and friendly staff. Didn't quite finish because of lightning and thunder in the area. Hope to be back soon

Enjoyable par 64 course

We didn't know that it was a par 64 until we were playing it...that's on us. It was a great course to play.

What can I say!

After wild storms here Tuesday night and the course closed for a couple of days, the staff had the course in excellent condition. The staff was awesome.

Great course hidden in the high country

This was a great short course. All the greens and fairways were in great shape. The tee boxes were in pretty good shape but a few improvements in progress. Really enjoyed the course, the weather, and the staff. Everyone was super friendly and it was a nice surprise course that I had never played. Would recommend and will definitely be back!
