Challenging Greens

Tee to green the course is relatively benign. However once you get on the greens the undulations will bring a grown man to tears. If you think a par 3 course playing 2300 yards is for beginners you are completely wrong. The greens are the most difficult I have ever played.

Course in excellent condition

Excellent course to tune up your approach and short game. Greens are very tricky but fair.

Fun To Play Once

Kind of like a large round of putt putt. The greens have crazy undulation.

The man in the pro shop seemed irritated by our presence, the men at the club drop and the gals at the restaurant were some of the most pleasant and accommodating people I interacted with during my trip that consisted of 15 different courses.

For what it is, at the cost it was. It was fun to do once but it is unlikely I will be back.

Don’t mistake this for a full length course.

Very deceptive in the way they don’t disclose this is an executive course.

Slow, but beautiful

Course was in great shape, but it was definitely slow. Spent a lot of time waiting on people in front of us. This is a tough little par 3 course with some crazy greens.

our guests enjoyed it

we had daughter and son-in-law with us. when we said we are playing a par 3 they were skeptical. I said this is not your usual par 3 course. They really enjoyed it. Staff is great and views are wonderful. We'll all be back.

Fun! Give it a shot!

Great warm up before playing our 2nd 18 of the day on a full-length course that afternoon. Very well done, they thought of everything to manage the course. Challenging and fun. Gorgeous views and clean. $28 for 2 drinks was horribly painful. But it was a great time and friendly staff!
