Solid state park course

Overall solid track, fun, challenging, great condition despite the dry second half of the summer they've been having. Would absolutely play again.

First time

This was my first time playing this course and it was impressive! The staff was cordial and patiently answered our questions. I usually roll the ball at my home course but never needed to do that here. The fairways were beautiful and the greens held and our putts rolled true. A fair test as I hit every club in my bag at least once and everyone in our foursome made a least one birdie. We just wish we lived closer to it.

Great value

Middle of nowhere and the price reflects that, but it was a fun course and a good value if you don't mind the drive.

Beautiful Course and area

Course was in great shape especially for winter conditions. Turkeys walked up on 15th green while I was putting.

Overall great experience and will play again when I come back to the area.

Best course in our area

Love this course. Always have. Had multiple groups booked for the same tee time, and it seemed like everyone else was all bunched up together. It was pretty slow play at times for that reason. Seems to null out the point of having a tee time, but the course is amazing, and was in great shape especially for this late in the year. Looking forward to the next time.

Beautiful day to be utsude

If you’ve not played this course you should. Besides the 7000+ yards from the tips with plush fairways cut short it’s a beautiful view cut through the woods especially now with the leaves changing. The course boast a great deal of sand bunkers most of which have been redone with a patented process that prevents them from washing away in rain. Great value. Only drawback this day was the speed of play. We waited nearly every shot from our 3rd hole.
