Greens were horrible and some oddly laid out holes. Staff is not the friendliest.
Great Layout
The course has a great layout and has some very challenging holes but fair. We played during the winter and fairways were dormient. But greens were in good shape.
Good course for cost
Fun and challenging course to play. Greens weren’t the most beautiful but still creative and undulated. Beautiful scenery and friendly staff. Nice carts with a decent driving range.
Enjoyed !
Nice Course. A few oddly laid out holes, but overall quite nice. We will come back and play this course again for sure.
Friends & Family
When you and your friends lives only merge on a few occasions this is a wonderful way to spend time together. The course is a medium challenge with the perfect pace of play to enjoy the day.
Favorite course
First time playing the course with a handicap flag and their new GPS. Wasn't happy with that. They turned off the restrictions for main play, but the restrictions remaining were too severe for a person who has trouble walking. Couldn't get close to the greens and left you having to walk up the slope to most greens. I ended up walking 2.5 miles with a flag!!!! I wouldn't have been able to play here after my accident. I could swing a club but couldn't walk that far. Need to make it more accessible. Would hate to not be able to play here anymore.
Everything is Right
This course offers an excellent practice facility, friendly staff, great course conditions, and a true golf experience for all. I have played this course at least 20 times this year and it is always a pleasure planning to play.
