Slow going in the morning.

Took 2.5 hours to finish 9 in the morning. Course is very hilly and that adds a challenge to some of the holes. Overall nice day on the course just slow.

No flat lies!

IF you are lucky, you will have a flat lie on the tee box. Otherwise, forget that. This is a rolling, hilly course with narrow fairways. Not for the faint of heart, but always a good challenge. Only real bad point on this trip was the conditions of the greens, as they were very long and slow, and a bit beaten up. Otherwise, the course was in fairly good shape. Well worth the price.

Tough course in the fall

Greens were in great shape. Because the leaves were down it was hard to find your ball. Still, it was a lot of fun on the second time through since there were so many blind shots. Need to play it a few times to get the hang of it. Very cool lay out.

Great course, love the elevation changes

If you have ever been to Augusta National and seen the elevation changes you will love this course. Greens are all good size, tree-lined fairways, you must shape it a bit left and right, accuracy is at a premium. Had not played there in ten years forgot how much I love this track! Only 9 holes but well worth playing around twice.

I consider this my home course!!!

It's the first course I ever played, it wasn't easy, nor discouraging. I'll always play here, and I appreciate the driving range where I can practice, and retrieve my own golf balls with ease.

Harder than you'd expect.

I love this course. The best value for the money you will find near it, hands down. Beautiful woods around the course make for a lot of blind shots as well as tough lies. You will lose a ball or four in this round if you aren't extremely accurate off the tee. Very salvageable 2nd shots on most every hole if you go left or right.

Dustys golf

This course was a surprise and not a walking course, It is only a nine hole course but changing tee boxes for a second time around will make it look like a whole different course. There are extreme up and down hills and many blind tee shots and second shots. tree lined so hit them straight.

Very fun course to play and I will want to go again, but my long ball hitting son , not so much, lol

This was the 2nd time I played this course. Very nice staff. The greens were in excellent shape. The course is a little tight. Better bring your irons.

Awesome greens if you get there

Greens played as well as any I've ever played on. Fairways were decent. Tee boxes nice. Workers were out cleaning up from a storm the night before and were respectful of players. Fairways were very tight. Hills. Power will get you nowhere on this course. Accuracy will. Very challenging. Nice and quiet. Would play there again.

Great course for the money

I absolutely love this course. I'm not a great golfer but love playing. This course is challenging with some increadible views and a lot of nature.

For the price you pay with cart included (trust me, you don't want to walk here) you cannot beat it.

I wish it had 18 holes but this is a course you won't ever hit the same shot twice.

Good Day

You can not beat the price. Course is in really good shape right now. If you don't like hills, stay off of this course.
