Awesome course
Last year's renovations hits the mark! Greens are awesome! Fairways 4 out of 5 I'm sure in time they will be a 5! There is no comparison to any other course around.
Summertime round...HOT
Course was in good shape. The rough was up higher than normal but there has been a lot of rain the past few weeks. Greens a touch slower than normal but it's summertime and good to protect them hence it's hot season.
But this time…
Love this course. Play it almost every Sunday but this time was kind of off putting. Going from hole one to the second you have to cross a road. When we got to the second tee box the community patrol guy had driven his car right up behind us and came out with “ you guys want me to ruin your good golf day and give you all a $50 fine for not coming to a complete stop at the road?” Everyone held there tongue. He was waiting there to harass golfers. Otherwise course is great. Greens almost flawless
Needs time to develop
Overall course was good but new greens need time to mature a bit. A few seem like they were over engineered and are better suited to have a clowns mouth_ didn’t help that the Marshall we met on the first hole was a total jerk to us.
Everything was great minus the Cart Service
Beautiful course, amazing layout and great amenities.
Sheryl at the front desk was incredible to help us out. She let us know there wasn't a traditional "turn" so we bought a 6-pack before teeing off. Fast forward 1.5 hours when we interact with the cart girl who immediately becomes stand offish when we say we already got beers and just wanted hot dogs. "you hurt my feelings." I get you're trying to be cute and make a sale but we bought a couple beers from her as well and she still wouldn't let it go. Insufferable interaction that just made the entire rest of the day annoying. Just a childish interaction that could have been avoided with someone with even a small level of hospitality knowledge.
For the record it would have been fine if the "turn" was at the clubhouse. You end up just taking a massive loop and never seeing cart service again.
Friendly staff
Interesting course, not too difficult as long as you stay in the fairway because the roughs are Bermuda and the ball disappears. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating.
Great course
You don’t go here for the fancy clubhouse or amenities. You go here for a great layout and great conditions. Course underwent some renovations in 2024 and is now in pristine condition. Zero flaws across 18 greens. Fairways in great shape. No complaints about the rough except that you’re in it. Hate to give up my local hidden gem but they deserve all the credit for their efforts since the renovation.
Love this course
Always an enjoyable time at the Great Outdoors and this time was no different. The tee boxes were a little weird as it appears they aerated them and they are just coming back together. Greens were slow which was new for this course but rolled true. Rough was thick and balls we’re lost!!!
Be Aware of the speed trap !!!
BE AWARE of the speed trap....
I cant believe they want to steal additional money from people trying to support them with their speed trap. The 15mph zone extends unnecessarily for a very long time as you leave or enter the restaurant / golf course area. There are a lot of people that have complained about a large ticket because they sped up to 35mph too soon or didn't slow down fast enough for the 15mph.
The extremely overweight wanna-be power hungry security officer that sits in the trees at the 15mph speed trap definitely gets off on making people ask for his leniency while he still gives you a $50 - $100 ticket.
Also, what he says goes, there is no judicial review or a way to contest the ticket. Doesn't sound like America to me!
He has ZERO legal powers and you are not legally obligated to pull over or show him any identification. Please note that he is legally responsible for your safety and health if you do pull over because of his flashing red lights. If something happens to you, you should seek out a lawyer for negligence.
I would think that the Sherriff's Dept would be very concerned about allowing a situation that makes people doubt whether to pull over for flashing lights.
316.241. (7) Flashing lights are prohibited on vehicles except as a means of indicating a right or left turn, to change lanes, or to indicate that the vehicle is lawfully stopped or disabled upon the highway or except that the lamps authorized in subsections (1), (2), (3), (4), and (9) and s.
Great shape
Course was in great shape. Fun to play. Great loop!
Out and back debate
The course is brand new. They had reopened a few months ago after redoing everything. Tea boxes, fairways and greens. Drainage is improved. The course itself was fantastic.
We played on a memorial day weekend after a tournament.
Unfortunately, this is an out and back course so there is no returning to the clubhouse after nine holes. In the past, they had a card attendant on the 10th hole who could offer drinks and food. This was not the case when we played. The coolers were stocked with the water, which was excellent. But, there was no car girl rounding or any ability to get food or drink at the 10th hole. This sucked. Also, when we finished and were ready to go to the restaurant to get a drink, they were closed. This sucked as well. I understand it was memorial day but they should have thought about this. If you play this course, I would bring a full cooler with food and drinks so that you are not stuck like we were. The course would’ve been much more enjoyable with some amenities because it was quite hot with feels like temperatures of 100° and a little refreshment could’ve rejuvenated the game.
Great course. Good layout. But you have to weigh the options when you are playing an out and back course like this.
I will come back, but certainly will prepare better next time.
Slow play
We were waiting all day on every Tee and had to quit on the 11th hole due to lightning, and as we drove by the groups ahead of us, there were five holes open ahead of one group that was entirely holding up the golf course and playing at a five hour plus round pace. The Ranger was there the whole time it did nothing it’s a shame to ruin a beautiful day.
