Always a great experience golfing here. Walked up as a single and they got me right on. Played 18 in under 3 hours. Greens were in much better shape than other courses in the area for this time of year. Scenic course without being too punishing. One of the best bang for your buck courses in the area

The course is in great condition. Smooth greens that hold a good shot. They tell me the Cattail is punched now but play Devils Claw now it’s good.
