Greens were muni level

Course was pretty fun. However about 1/3 of the greens were in horrendous shape.

Great time in the trees

Beautiful course in good shape. Very tight with narrow fare-ways. Leave your driver in the bag

Need Some TLC

The first five holes in the mountain area were awesome, then you went down to valley area and the holes were average with a lot of areas where you had to hit over the marsh areas, which my wife did not like (lost balls).

The course needs some care for or on the tee boxes and greens.

Poor conditions

Great staff, and layout. Very fun course… however, the conditions are below average. “Driving range” is a mat and net, greens in rough shape. Fairways/rough full of clovers, bunkers with grass, not taken care of.

Again, very fun layout, but for $130 it was disappointing. Hope they can get the course in better shape because the potential is there.

Horrible staff

This is the single hardest course I’ve ever played. Not because the course is bad, it’s actually great, but because just trying to find the first tee was like trying to pull teeth. I’ve never “felt” disdain before, but I experienced it at this course. The staff genuinely felt like they hated me I tried contacting them to express my bad experiencee. They have never contacted me back so obviously they don’t care.

Not great

Even given the very mild winter this course is terrible shape. Greens are half dead/rotted, any putt over 5 feet is going to take some much due to the dead spots that are half an inch lower than the rest of the green. Tee boxes are in shambles, some even have 4” tall grass and piles of dirt on them. Staff was great and the hotel is beautiful but the course is currently very rough.

Great views and decent golf

Overall the course was challenging but still very enjoyable. The best part was the amazing views. The course did have some issues with dead grass and the greens were not in the best shape; however for the price compared to other courses in the area I feel it was a good value option. I will be playing here again.

Course conditions need help but still fun

Course condition are a bit rough. Layout and scenic views are still worth playing the course. It's tough and on is on every hole. So bring extra balls.

Lovely….

The natural beauty that surrounds this course is stunning. We saw a Bald Eagle! The course itself is in ok shape and it looks like they are working on it some too.

All in all, I was happy with the value as we got a discounted last minute rate

Stunningly beautiful and challenging

For someone not from this area, the scenery is breathtaking. We walked the course so we had time to enjoy the surroundings. As a senior whose best drives go 150-175 yards and who is accustomed to playing from the second shortest tees, I found the course to be frustrating on many of the holes. It took my best drive or even more just to make it over the impenetrable weeds and marsh to the beginning of the fairway on most of the par 4s and 5s. Go for the scenery but take lots of balls and don’t expect a personal lowest score unless you are a heavy hitter. Or play from the shortest tee box.
