This course has horrible T boxes

Took almost 2 hours to finish 9 holes. Group in front was giving lessons while playing. Tee boxes were all dirt. The parking is in the hotel now. Course has gone to 💩

Fun course with plenty of challenges

Staff is excellent, course is in great shape minus the tee boxes. Great quick round requiring precision shots that will satisfy the golf bug in you. It’s a bit expensive for a par 3, but hey I’m fine with it being a little less crowded.

Good 9 Hole Course

Course is great for an executive 9-hole. Interesting terrain, nice greens, good pace. Not much on the course apart from the golf but won’t hear complaints from me. Plenty to do in the hotel/surrounding area after the round.

Horrible Tee Boxes!

Historically, this has been a great 9 hole course with pristine greens for short game management. About $10 overpriced but the condition of the course justified it.

Fast forward to the present and the greens are still in great condition. HOWEVER, the TEE Box areas are HORRIBLE. Bare, patchy grass, you name it. Think you'll just hit off the mats since it's a par 3? The mats are threadbare and you might as well hit some practice shots on the concrete in the parking lot for softness.

C'mon Westdrift, do better ASAP.

Great vibe

I enjoy the vibe of this course on a nice Sunny day of golfing.

The pond lake and green hilly grass field makes it interesting. Grass are thicker but manageable.

Smooth Course and Friendly People.

My husband played awfully. Generally, it was a fine course. We let some students passing by. They practiced soccer after school. Other people were fine.

We arrived from China on September 5. They needed to put some signs to indicate the direction to teeoff check in office. The grass needed to be trimmed. The weather was fine

great little course

This par 3 course is not typical. The lay out is very nice and challenging. There's water on several holes and most greens are big and in good shape. The staff are friendly and professional. I have played this course about 50 times in the past few years and its always a good experience and always in good shape!

I highly recommend this course.

Great course, great staff, with some awful tee boxes

We were warned of the green aeration before booking so didn’t mind that at all but most of the tee boxes were in really rough shape. Some were more like patches of dirt than actual tee boxes. Other than this though the course was maintained very well with lush fairways and deep rough. Bunkers were in great condition too.

A hidden course of Rolling hills

Great course layout with rolling hills. Even amount of up and down hill and even ground holes. Couple of nice water features. But could use a few more sand trapper. Course is perfectly manicure with a nice putting range. Amenities are ligh but adequate with a small outdoor lounge area. Overall a great and very enjoyable 9 hole Course.

Great little par3!

This is a great little par3 to work on your short game. Lots of terrain variation. Generally in great condition but the day we played was shortly after the punched the greens. The staff gave us a discount due the the condition of the greens so no complaints there. Great, fun, quick round of golf to work on the short game after work!

This course is 80% dirt

Everywhere between the tee box and the greens is 85% dirt with random patches of grass. Would not recommend this experience to anyone.

Met Scott for the first time

Met Scott running things up front today. He is as friendly and helpful as Donna. Usually we have the pleasure of Donna ringing us up at the register. Westdrift should not only be proud of its hidden gem of a course. It should also take pride in these two providing great customer service. Looking forward to next tee time.
