Great Course

The course was in very good condition. The only issue is that the greens is they were recently sanded. But no issues with putting on them.

I would recommend this course to anyone.

Nice golf course that needs some help...

Very nice course, just it looked like no one wants to be there?!... Not much enthusiasm found in the club house or on the course.

The layout is great, and the fairways were in good shape.

The problem was on the greens. Grass was not cut or rolled so you had to hummer each put to get to the hole. NOT good at all.

Sand traps were also left unattended. It can be a great golf course.

A Little Dry

Greens were fast, fairways were hard and tees even harder ( had trouble even getting them into the ground). Otherwise, the only problem we had was a school group that cut in front of us. We still had a good time.

Spring Golf

The grass is just now starting to grow this year, so the greens were a little bumpy. Beautiful scenery on this course.

Nice course layout

We came to play early after heavy rain the night before, so there was a lot of puddling in the fairways. The staff was friendly and the maintenance staff were busy cleaning up any storm damage.

We will definitely be back to play again soon.

Beautiful course, but greens are brutal

The beauty of this course and its lake surroundings is undeniable. The course is extremely fair, but it pays to be long off the tee. You will need length to have a chance at firing near the pin or even holding the green. The greens are this course's main defense. They all break subtley and/or dramatically. My crazy putting round included 6 one putts, 4 three putts, 7 two putts, and a six putt. That's correct. A six putt. A real John Daly special. Pay attention golfers. You do not want to find your golf ball above the hole, or the "fun" begins.

Always a good time!

Decent course almost always in good shape. Pace can be slow at times, depending on who is in front of you of course. Always friendly staff! And we always have a good time!
