The rolling, scenic layout across three nine-hole loops consistently rewards shot-making, with fast greens and well-maintained conditions impressing golfers even after rain. Notably friendly staff and a smooth pace of play make this course a strong value worth returning to.

Great place to play. Friendly staff, challenging but fair layout. Due to recent rainfall course was wet and sloppy in spots. Looking forward to playing when dry.

Free for all golfing

This is the most unorganized golf course in the area. NO RANGER and the person in the clubhouse is SUPPOSED to know what is going on???????? Never gets off his stool and sits behind the computer surfing the net????????? Got behind a slow group and was stuck there. Wouldn't be bad if it was packed. Maybe 6 groups out there and all backed up behind the slow group??????? Called the clubhouse and said he "Could not leave the counter." ????????? Just about a 5 hour round in the cold????? NEVER PLAT THERE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will spend my money on the courses I passed to get to this one. I AM SURE THEY WILL APPRECIATE MY PATRONAGE!!!!!!!

Not worth it

Played here today for the first time. There is no order in which you start. There were no gaps in between groups. There were more “traffic jams” and waiting times than actual game play time. Would not recommend to anyone.

Very friendly. Nice course

Overall, an excellent course with beautiful scenery. The only negative is it is a popular course to play, so it can get backed up at times. When all 3 nines are open, though, that really helps. Great staff! Food food now, too!

Great round!

Beautiful day on a nice course. Bring plenty of golf balls because if you are not accurate, you will lose them on this course. As for golf shop, people want to grab and go when making the turn, so have hotdogs or sandwiches available as burgers don’t always work.

Excellent Course. A Challenging and Pleasant Experience.

The course is beautiful and moderately challenging. This course has three nine hole course, Deer Run, River view and Medowlands. We played the Deer Run and Riverview. Bermuda fairways and greens. Played with my friends here after a very long time. The course has been redone and is beautiful. Greens were a bit spongy but even then the speed was very fast. We had trouble holding greens if landed in the wrong spots. Everyone had at least one 3 putt bogey :-) We all scored higher numbers than our respective average scores. It was a hot day but fun golfing in the visually pleasing course.
