Average course

The fairways were in rough shape in spots. The sand traps were in bad shape with no sand to speak of. Pace of play was good. For the price it’s an okay course to play.

No field marshalls

Course is old and needs updating

Several holes in disrepair

No field Marshall’s to keep play moving

Foursome ahead of us refused to let us play through when asked. When we tried to pass them on the 11th hole, they physically assaulted us for trying to play pass them

I will not be playing this course again

Course continues to improve

Play here about once a week. Course getting better.every week. 1st fairway is the worst, but growing in. Greens getting faster but run true. People need to fix their ball marks. Lots of water on several holes. Plenty of challenging holes.

Great Value But Needs Some Work

Maybe my fourth time playing this course in the last several years. I like this course and recommend it if you do not want to pay too much money. A lot of water which requires some strategy. My only negative about the course is that some of the greens are in really rough shape.

Great course for the price

It was our first time golfing the course. For the pridce we paid, we thought it was great value. The course is not in amazing shape like other courses, but if you just want to get out and have an enjoyable round of golf for a great price, I would recommend this course. We will be back.

Good layout & friendly staff

The pro shop and course staff were extremely welcoming and friendly., There was a mixup with our booking so they patiently figured it out (including calling Golf Now). The course marshall made us feel valued and welcome - he was extremely enthusiastic. The layout was lots of fun and challenging on several holes with the water hazards. We all thoroughly enjoyed the course and will definitely return.

Course continues to improve

Play here frequently. Course continuing to get better. Finally did work in bunkers to loosen up the sand. Greens still a little slow and bumpy. Wish people would fix ball marks on the greens. For the money it's worth playing.
