Oasis in the corn

This course is a surprising challenge, with well groomed fairways and greens, and eclectic course topography. What a pleasant surprise to play for us blue-collared golfers. And the course keeps getting nicer as time goes on…

Very nice course

This is a very nice, well maintained course. It has a lot of character and beautiful terrain. My only negative for me as a novice golfer was the yardage. There were too many very long distance holes! The par 5’s were killers! Even the par 3s were long. I still rated it with 5 stars because the course is great..just a bit too much course for me. For a novice golfer it can be discouraging.

Missed tee time

I was not able to play. I contracted covid before my tee time. Do you offer any kind of a refund?

Nice

The course was well maintained. They were doing work on the grounds making it look nicer. Adding a creek to make it more difficult. Nice course

Great day golfing

The course was well groomed and the staff was very friendly. The greens were fast. Seemed to have a lot of scuff marks, but the ball rolled well, so no worries. Just a weird thing though, we tee’d off at 9am. 3 or 4 holes during our round had the sprinklers on in the middle of the fairway. Not sure why they would be running them in the middle of a busy Friday morning.

The one complaint I would have is the practice area. The range balls are horrible. I got a small bucket from the machine prior to my round. 3 of the balls were severely cut. None of the practical balls match and they’re in generally horrible shape. They also have a short game practice area, which is cool, but it was peppered with balls laying all over. To use it effectively, I would have had to pick up 50 or 60 balls laying all over. It would have been nice to just have a shag bag or something laying there to use.

Overall, a good experience. The food afterwards was great!
