Hello jterry and thank you for your recent review. We realize the course is currently in substandard condition We had two pumps that went down during over-seeding, which coupled with the extreme temperatures during that time, led to the current conditions. We are working diligently to get it back in shape, and hope to see you return under better conditions.

Tough summer

Everything was good except course condition. Water troubles so the course is a month behind.

Very Rough

Very poor conditions for entire course. Greens are lumpy.

Roughs are mainly weeds.

Fairways are dirt and some grass.

Tee's are unlevel.

I would avoid.

The course is in very poor condition. The sprinklers were running on quite a few of the holes and we had to wait or manoeuvre around them. Lots of holes on the course and the tee boxes need attention. Will not play again. The staff were great.

Fun course

This is a fun course. I enjoy the length of it And there are some challenging holes. Old school feel and definitely a deal at $38 at 6:30 in the morning. Only two other sets of golfers out there with us.

Fun course great pace

This course was a real fun course to play on. The fairways were forgiving, great pace of play. The greens were a little rough but nothing some TLC can’t fix. I know it’s an older course but it showed it still has great potential of being a beautiful course. The staff was great, very friendly and very helpful. I would definitely come back and play here again.

P.S be on the look out for wild life, first hole we spotted a big snake in the fairway lol.

Great Views and Scenery’

I’ve been here a few times! Definitely would recommend. Didn’t loose too many balls. It’s really challenging on a windy day.
