The Links

I’ve played this course before in much better condition. The entire cours was very dry. Felt like I was hitting off hard pan when I was in the middle of the fairway. There were many spots on the course and around the green that were bare. Had to chip over them.

Control who tees off and when

Starter came out to say we could go when ready. Starter can't see first tee and doesn't announce pairings.

He came out at 1:17. Our Tee time was 1:29. We could see 2 groups stacked up on Two. We waited until the last group was hitting

We still caught them by the 4th.

Stalled around as the group behind us was very slow. Caught them again on 10 and again on 14 despite.

It took nearly 4 hours but we played two bonus holes during dead time

Hmmmm

Fairways were covered with ground under repair. Had to move our next shots several times. The green on #7 was ridiculous my unfair. I was 8’ for birds and that put rolled 16 ft past. Way to reward a golfer Superintendent! That’s just stupid.

Good every day course

Good condition. Played long due to being wet. Soft greens with a lot of slope in good condition. Many greens sloped front to back. If the greens were not slow they could be impossible to putt.

First Time Playing

Fun track

This course was in excellent condition, greens rolled true, fun track for my first time. I’m excited to play again. It was worth the 40 miles to travel from my home and good value for the money! Great food and the staff was so nice.

Cheap golf!

My son and I got too hot deal passes on golf now and played this great executive course for $10.99 each! Nothing less expensive around! The course was in great condition! Never waited at all, played with another fellow, who was a super nice guy, enjoyed our selves immensely! And again for $10.99. Can’t beat it!
