Nice layout and pace of play
Greens conditions were good, perhaps the need to be rolled, but it has been very wet the last few weeks. Fairways and tees are starting to improve with the warmer weather. Overall, a nice course.
Great course. Nice layout.
It was a great day to play for a winter day. Low 50's, sunny & only a little breezy. Course in great condition for this time of the year. Greens were a little slow but were OK after you got the speed dialed in. Got behind a couple of slow four-somes so it was close to a 4-1/2 hour round. But, still had a nice time.
Fun layout , lots of doglegs . Greens rolled good considering it rained the night before we played. Always enjoy playing here.
My favorite public golf course to play at within 45 minutes of my house. I highly recommend playing here at some point! Great golf for the money.
Good day
Had a good day playing with the wife. Was a little chilly, but the course was nice, greens rolled good. Give it a try.
Excellent course with one heck of a finish
I’m not sure what happened with the guy a few reviews down, but my customer service experience was excellent. Second time playing and had a blast.
Course Quality: Well done guys. Especially the leaf blowing. Course is a bit crispy but still very good
Greens: Moderately quick and true. Can put off the fringe. Very few blemishes.
Layout: Classic holes + a couple very exciting challenging holes. Par 3’s are tough and ending stretch (16/18) are wild. Lots of bunkers.
Pace/Cart: Both excellent
Overall: A-
Worst customer service
Course is fine. It’s not what it used to be , but it’s fine. The staff working there for the most part are probably fine too, but one of the gentlemen working this afternoon literally cursed at me and two other golfers today, and then kicked us off the course without offering any refund. Needless to say, I will never be playing here or recommending this course again. Too many good courses for the same pricing to put up with that kind of customer service.
The one and only unforgetable 18th hole
The course was in good shape. Great pace of play. Great layout with plenty of risk reward opportunities especially for long hitters.
Most of the greens are small but will hold.
Great finishing 4 holes that will make you come back for another chance if you did not score the first time.
Very enjoyable
This course has a bit of everything with fast well maintained greens. Starts off with a pretty simple par 4 but gets interesting very quickly. Narrower front 9 and opens up back 9. The greens and dog legs force you to play smart golf with big penalties/rewards. Just as solid/fun as Larkin/Tillery. Layout isn’t quite as memorable as rocky river/eagle/red bridge but greens might be a bit faster/more challenging. Definitely recommend checking out this course
Great course
Really good course. One of the best ones around here. Greens were in great shape.
Greens were Poor
The greens were recently punched making it extremely difficult to putt. There were no warnings or updates alerting me about the greens condition.
Love this course
Course was amazing. Layout was not long, but well thought out and challenging. Will DEFINITELY play this again.
great overall challange.
in hood shape.
greens held good a little slow.
true puttimg.
good sandwich afterward.
Warning to golfers!
I’m writing this review to help golfers like me... visitors to the state who trust reviews on Golfnow and see 4+ stars for a course and so enthusiastically book a tee time. Well, for the second time in my Golfnow lifetime, I arrived at a course which was ranked 4.2 stars yet nowhere near deserving of its ranking, which once again proves why 5-star ranking systems are flawed.
This course is not a sculpted, completed course. Meaning, there’s no shape or refinement to it. The land is naturally hilly, in the basic sense, but looks as if no dozer was used, ever. And not in a good way. The course looks unfinished and seemingly has been maintained by high-schoolers.
The grass, inundated with weeds and mud spots, has simply been cut to different lengths to define fairways and greens instead of actually being built and designated as such. The bunkers are shallow sand-pools that children would be happy to play in... they look amateurish and serve as no real hazard. No aspect of the course is truly fulfilled in what it is. There’s no defined rough and no separation of grass-type between fairway and not-fairway.
The greens are alright, probably the best aspect of the course. But again, the grass is many different types and it’s obvious weeds are most of those types.
This course has been reviewed by locals or visitors with low expectations, and probably because its not a stuffy course and the staff are friendly, they have a gay old time and rank the course, in their limited experience, highly. It’s a wonderful practice ground for beginners of the game, old-timers (there are many) and non-fussy players who are content to have a field and a hole to smack a ball towards.
But heed my advice, don’t book a tee time here and expect a 4.2 star course. You’ll get a 3 star, backyard course.
Very nice course, great layout
One of the better courses in the area. Short but challenging. Very well maintained & great layout.
Great Course
This was a great course and me and my wife love playing here.
