Great challenging classic course with narrow fairways ,with water and sand traps to contend with. You'll find some friendly players and staff during your visit. Highly recommended.!

Cat city gem!

I’ve been playing this course for over 10 years now and a lot of stuff has changed.

Positives: friendly staff, fast running carts now with windshields, rolled out greens, lush fairways, flat layout balanced by tree lined fairways and plenty of water hazards, and great pace of play (less congestion of golfers).

Negatives: bunkers need actual sand, not dirt, some rough patches and bare spots throughout some sections, no ball washers (probably an easy fix), no marshalls or cart girls for snacks/drinks, and no range. However, they do have several putting and chipping greens. A lot of the negatives are only bc they need more play to warrant those services.

I do want this place to improve but i’m also torn bc i like it just the way it is. it’s a hidden gem with less golfers in general than surrounding courses and great value for the price this time of year. If you get a chance, check it out!

Confusing but a great value

I don't think I've ever driven so much between certain holes. I will say there is very good and challenginging shots to be had on this course and the green run very nice

Always fun!

The staff is great!. The course was decent considering the rain it had gotten. Only negative was the sand traps that were like compacted clay.

Nice course

Great layout. Lots of water in play. Fairway grass was long but playable. Probably not enough time since over-seeding Greens were in great shape.

Starter was amazing, too bad the course wasn't as good.

No driving range. About half the greens had bad patches making putting difficult. Landscaping crews on the course had no idea they were in the way. They claim the flooding caused poor course conditions, the big flood happened 9ish months ago, plenty of time to get back in shape.

The starter was the bright spot of the whole day. Very knowledgeable and friendly.

Overall, disappointed with the course.

Good Value for your Money

The course still needs a lot of work. The greens were very rough and patchy. The fairways needed to be better seated. There is a lot of dry patchy spots in the fairway. I know the season just started for receding, but still needed a lot of work.

Recovering from the Flood nicely

My golf app had the front nine as the back nine, and I wish it had been right! The first hole was fun and forgiving, but most of the rest of the front had water all over and 3” tall ground cover where there weren’t ponds in the way. On the plus side, my golf bag was a lot lighter by the 10th hole!

The back was literally a walk in the park … until the 17th, which involved a 160 yard carry over the last pond. It was longer if you hit it left. Not a good time to hit a lazy draw…
