Perfect weather

scheduling problem

My partner and I reserved a tee time online days ahead of time. When we arrived for a Friday morning tee time, we and others who suffered the same snafu, were told there was an event that day and there were no scheduled tee times. We were not given a rain check or offer to reschedule. Staff just blamed the online scheduling system.

Very solid course

Came here for the first time as I was visiting my parents about 15 minutes away. This course was absolutely beautiful, with tight fairways, some beautiful holes with water in play, and some very nice sights to see.

The course wasn’t overly hard, but there were some challenges along the way. Definitely a solid course for someone who shoots in the 90s, as it’s approachable and not overly punishing.

Friendly staff, great course layout with challenging pin placement. The greens are recovering from aeration. The fairways are in decent shape. Grab a hot deal if available.

Down hill

This place has just gone downhill. Great course layout with so much potential, but they constantly over book, do not care for the conditions and are way over priced for the conditions and experience. Many other courses in the area are better for what you get.

Great golf course!

This golf course is a great course for all levels of golfers. The course is absolutely beautiful! I have had several people ask me about social media pictures of the course and where the course is located. Any time I am back in the area, I will definitely play this course again.

Sunday Slow

So, we finished in around 4hrs and 45 min which is just over the goal. But we were in one of the earlier groups (9:30) and had to wait on every tee and most second shots with a threesome in front of us. I think they were waiting as well so somewhere in front there was a slow play group. Was it horrible - no. But, especially on the back nine, the waiting got longer and it was harder to get or keep a swing rhythm. Maybe a bigger gap between tee times?

Great weekday rates

I'm a newer player but really enjoy the course. Driver isn't the best choice for many of the holes here if you are a long hitter.

This course forces you to be better at the short game, which I appreciate as someone who is trying to improve.

Afternoon on a Friday is a great time to play here. Not a ton of traffic, friendly folks to pair up with (or play solo), and the price is right!

Spring Golf at its Finest

Cart path only really killed this experience. Not the courses fault. However, recently punched greens and soggy conditions provided quite a challenge. Lots of dog legs and a stream that seemed to meander throughout the entire course proved an added challenge. I would like to play again under normal course conditions. I would go back in the future.

Fun and Fair but 1 issue/nit

Fun track. Pace of play great and nice staff. Was in nice condition and despite greens being punched two weeks earlier (a bit slow), they are true and fair. Only issue is the tee box settings. I like to play between 6100 and 6300 and don't like alternating between whites and blues to get in that range. Wasn't a option from one set as whites were 5800-5900 and Blues I recall @6500 hundred. Big gap. Otherwise, all good.
