Friendly course

Overall course was in good shape. The greens needed improvement - many spots burnt out and dead on every green. Friendly staff and patrons around the course. On course beverage cart needs improvement. Saw the beverage cart/person once at rest facility on hole #5. Never to be seen again! Golf course is leaving a lot of money on the table due to the very limited service out on the course.

Don't go out of your way

Just a fair layout. Probably built in the 60s and no update done since then. Little imagination put into the tract.

Disappointed golfing experience

Friendly staff. Greens were uninspiring with damage or a grass fungus. Slow play, confusing on tee locations. Exextive course players playing on Chanpion course due to confusing layout. $50 wasted..

Recommend playing elsewhere.

Good value for a fair course.

This is 2nd time we played the course. We like the layout. The course is competitive yet fair. The course is in very good shape. We will play again.

It would have been nice.

Although the course to me is in decent shape, it would have been nice to play the front nine instead of having to play the back 9 twice that kinda blew me , oh well.

Nice course

Kind of quirky course, need some local knowledge. Fun course though, decent shape, just not a premium type experience.
