wet course

Course should be closed for a week, so much water and muck, you are lucky to hit the ball without a splatter of mud on yourself. Middle of the course in the fairways was worse than the rough, so soggy.

Soggy bottom boys

Not really playable at this time. Too much water on course.. should have closed temporarily. This course has drainage problems in normal conditions appears groundskeeper got overruled. It’ll be interesting to see what happens to course.conditions down the road. Ounce of prevention, pound of cure. . Anyway wear a beater pair of spikes leather. My partners wore tennis style and were soaked. Wait to play and before you do ask someone coming off 9 or 18 about conditions before you pay.

Good Value for Money

Green fees are very reasonable. Course is walkable. Front 9 are rather flat. Fairways and greens are in good condition. Pace was a bit slow but for the price I would mind. I found fairways to be wide enough. Course to be challenging enough and overall to be good enough for me to come back.

Perfect Day.

The course is in great shape. Greens are fast, so stay below the hole. Did not see a Marshal, and play was slow.1:00 tee time and only got 16 holes in by dark, Great bar and food.

Fun little course.

Awesome little course set in a beautiful location. I definitely plan on playing here again. The pace was a bit slow, so it’d be nice if there was a marshal or some worker to control the pace of play.
