Fun, Forgiving Course

This course is a lot of fun. The fairways and greens are in great shape. Fairways are wide there are just enough trees to make it interesting. The bunkers aren’t really sand. More like small gravel. Most staff is friendly, especially the lady at the counter with the accent. Good value based on Tri other courses in the area. No ocean views butyou get nice mountain views. There is enough elevation chance to keep things interested.

Golfgirl

The staff in the pro shop are not welcoming or friendly to us or our friends we invited to join us! This is almost always the case and this time it was particularly noticeable!

The staff at the restaurant was also short with us!

We don’t find this at any other golf course in the area!

We hope management will read this and take note!

Great course, Friendly Staff

This was my second time playing here The first was right after a rain storm and the course still played well. There is some ground under repair but overall the course was in great condition. The greens didn’t all seem the play the same speed but fair. Still had a few turkeys and lots of nenes. I will definitely be back.
