Great layout / poor greens

The course itself I really like. The greens were not in good shape. No way to get a smooth role.

Winter was not kind to this course

All the outside staff are great. Super friendly. The guy at the pro shop was was not. He acted as if he didn't care if we played there or not. No smile, kind of a dick. My white son and I were asked when were our tee times upon reaching the counter. A black father so was behind us, as soon as they approached the counter, he said you guys can't get out until after 3. The son had to tell him they had tee times. I thought that was a little messed up also.

No drainage.

No rain the day we went, but course was an absolute soggy mess. That coupled with gimicky layout of forced layups with small creeks caused for a long, bad day of golf.

Always wet, often cart path only, grumpy staff

Have played here a number of times because its often the closest course I can get a tee-time on short notice. More often than not, its cart path only - even if its been a number of days since the last rain. The layout is okay. If you're a little longer than average with the driver, you'll seldomly get to hit it playing whites.

The shop staff and starters are always grumpy or trying to intimidate you for whatever reason even though your supporting their course that is in desperate need of repairs. On week days it seems they have a lot of open slots but let senior league/members play in those slots even though you were booked at those times so you'll end up waiting on them.

For the price, this course is not worth it. It's super overpriced considering some of the other courses nearby that are the same price or cheaper and provide a much better experience.

Course is great, staff not necessary

Course is one of my favorite in the area, which makes this last round so much more sad. Played Saturday in a 4some, best ball match play. Probably the fastest format we can play in. After 3 holes, the Marshall comes by and says we are a hole behind although I can see the group ahead of us, fine it’s 9:45 Saturday morning enjoying some coffee but I’ll hustle. Same guy comes by a hole and maybe 12 mins later and tells us to skip a hole there’s 4 groups on a hole behind us, which didn’t sound like our problem we couldn’t see anyone behind us. So we skip a hole and still finish 17 holes in 3 hours 50 mins.

I don’t know why this particular Marshall chose his actions, but they really irritated my group for no reason. I probably won’t go back out of fear I’ll be told to league for not running the length of each hole. If this guy is so concerned about time, go work the US Olympic swim trials, not Saturday morning recreational golf.

Course layout is amazing, had a great time greens in fair condition. Friendly staff and great playing with others. Could not figure out how to work the ball machine for the range that was kind of a bummer, Machine kept saying to hit the start button, but there is no start button to push lol but that was the only drawback. Cannot wait until next time. Always enjoy playing here.

I don’t like to leave negative reviews, but the experience wasn’t the best started with checking in the guy behind the counter didn’t really care to be at work that day.

The course was dried out, the greens were blah, we paid for 9 played 4 and left. If either the course was good or if we were treated with better respect when we checked in we might have given this course another try.. but no thank you there are other courses that may appreciate my dollars and present.

Good on discount

You can tell an amazing course that has just fallen on hard times. This course used to be stunning and it just isnt cared for that way anymore. The greens have huge bare spots, there are a ton of unrepaired ball marks, it’s just a mid course now. It’s only worth the money when you get a Hot Deal. Used to be an $80 course, now it’s a $40 course.

Solid Saturday Afternoon Round

Booked a Saturday Twilight Tee Time (9 Hole price of $38 w/ cart) as a single & paired with a threesome. Arrived about an 1:15 early and got out 38 minutes early (didn't book originally since extra $20). There were some problems with End of Season cart batteries and a shortage of charged carts, but got it sorted. Played the front 9 and the course was in relatively good shape. Leaves were under control, tee boxes were a little banged up (to be expected), but overall, it was in decent shape for early December.

Turned in about 2:05 with some delays in the group ahead & about 1:20 left of daylight. Hit a backup on 10 & pro gave option to replay the front 9 and took it. Rushed the Front 9 and finished 18 at sundown. Overall, was a good value for $40. Not sure I'd drop 80-90 for a prime weekend tee, but was happy with the experience.

Another fun round here

It’s December 2023 and this place is the place to play. Greens are slick , little beat up in places, still worthwhile to play. Choose the tee boxes to suit your game!

I've played here quite a few times, one of my favorite courses. It gets a lot of play and is showing the wear and tear. Unfortunately the greens were not in great shape.. A lot of unfilled marks on the green. Pace of play was good, we finished in just under 4 hours. Could have been a little quicker but my playing partners were a little slow. Twilight rate was a pretty good deal. Will definitely be back.
