Fun par 3 course

Overall the course was in great condition but wet in some spots. Nice to have a par 3 course with some challenging par 4 holes.

Greens were unplayable

This greens had been recently aerated with no notice when booking. The greens were so wet soft spikes left major indentations.

Not worth the money

I have seen this course when it was in its prime. However, in the last few years it has gone downhill. Fairways are no longer taken care of along with the tee boxes and greens. What a disappointment to see the condition of this course. Not worth the money to play!!!

Pace of play was abominable.

The "pace of play" was extremely slow. At one point four groups were backed up at the tee. I actually quit after nine because I refused to play at a more than a five hour pace of play. It was impossible to enjoy the round when one had to wait at length between shots. Pace of play does not describe the condition because there was no PACE to the play.

Very well kept clubhouse and range, course layout is straightforward but the back nine is a bit more challenging. Pace of play on a Saturday is slow but that’s normal for a perfect weather weekend so can’t complain about that. super friendly and helpful pro shop and player services staff. snack shop employee practically demanded a tip for putting a hot dog on a bun. Starter was rude.

Overall good experience can’t expect perfection would recommend for a fun afternoon weekday!

Green are messed up

I've been playing here for 14 years. I've never seen the greens or any greens in the condition these greens were in. Soggy and muddy. Caused by over watering. They will all need to be replace. Sorry to say this as this is my home course.
