Underwhelming for the Cost
The course was in a beautiful setting, without a doubt. A few of the tee boxes offer spectacular views of the mountains. However, for $129 (or even $75, for that matter), I expect to have sand in all the bunkers, not gravel. Some of these bunkers were awful. My playing partner even declined to hit out of a couple for fear of damaging his club. Not good.
The greens were in mediocre shape at best and were very slow for the most part. However, players have to adjust to that, so it is forgivable. The fairways are wide and forgiving for the most part, and there are many good opportunities to score if you keep it on the fairway. I played from the white tees, and it was not overly challenging.
Overall, I liked the layout and the setting, but it isn't worth $129. I'd say it would be a good value at $65 bsed on the course conditions.
Add 10+ score here
Course is beautiful and well maintained. Accuracy is the key here fairway is so tight even your tee shot hit the fairway, your next shot could be on anywhere. Great course but you wouldn't come back if you ever played on Wild turkey or Ballyowen.
Read This first!
Be advised that you share the course with Foot-golf ⚽ which will have its own tee markers! Metal markers are for golf and wooden for soccer-golf. The scorecard had no layout and the course was not marked for the direction of the next hole. There are very few yardage markers. There are many flags being that you're sharing it with the soccer field which makes it confusing. Lastly there were ground bee nests in several fairways. Lots of bees everywhere. We paid. 50 each and it was not worth it.
Difficult but fun
Beautiful, very narrow fairways , challenging. Not a place get your best score! But Beutiful
Great Track
First time playing the course and I was very happy. The conditions were great. Only critic would be the bunkers. They need attention asap. Fairway tee boxes abs greens all perfect. Very nice layout. Special shout out to the gentleman who ran the outside amenities/food +bar at the turn. Very hospitable. Can’t sat the same for the starter (John). Not much of a people person.
Fun course
Fun course from the tips. Great layout and range of holes. Mix of Crystal and Wild Turkey courses. Was in great condition. Only played the 9 holes once.
Challenging but fair
Some scenic, interesting holes. Worth the drive from Union City.
Outing removes Rangers
Rangers had to be busy regulating an outing, no reason a Tuesday afternoon round should take 5:25 to play
