Great courses

Enjoyed the round - really nice, well layed out and challenging courses. The time of year we played made it a little tough to play meaning the traps were wet and there was a lot of goose poop close to ponds. However, I have played during the summer and goose poop was not an issue. Has a nice club house and good off season prices at the restaurant. New golf carts with GPS and synthetic leather seats were nice to have as well.

sun in February

course(s) in generally good shape. Greens still recovering from late season 2025 aeration plugs and did not track true. And range not open due to machine dispenser being frozen/jammed up. No Balls. Even the worst Pro's warms up a bit so amateurs definitely need it in order to have a respectable & pleasant round.

The 2 toughest 9 hole courses, Black Bear and Grisley

The courses are long and tough. An unforgiving 18 hole but a good challenge.
