Perfect Day to Play

The weather was perfect, low humidity, sunny, and 80 degrees. We are in a long dry season, so you always got an extra 5-10 yards of roll. The down side there were more bare spots than normal. It’s a long course, with a nice layout. Nice wildlife on the course. $32 green fee cannot beat it.

Seeing Improvements

Played here several times recently while recovering from a back injury. Good to see the course is slowly improving. Long way to get back more than a decade ago when it was one of my favorites.

Town course

Nice course. There’s some water and it’s challenging. Staff is very friendly. The marshal even tried to talk in French for us.

Fun/challenging

Course is fun and challenging for a bogey golfer as myself. My only complaint is the condition of the greens made it virtually impossible to putt

Not the ideal conditions but worth the money for a cheap round

A buddy and I played this course and had a good time overall. The greens are very spotty, where you have dead grass on the green. However you can see the potential this course has on some holes as the greens are perfect. For the price you can not beat it especially this time of year

I think the course has potential... But it's in rough shape.

The course has a nice layout. Unfortunately it was really in rough shape. Tee boxes, fairways and putting surfaces all a mess. It's disappointing, because it could be nice. It appears it's not being taken care of.

Bad pace even on a wednsday

Well most of the reviews are correct. Horrible shape like they really don't care.Most greens have dirt and sand on them. No grass mostly hardpan in the fairways and the rough. I had the distinct pleasure to be stuck behind 2 old ladies who hit the ball about 100 or less yards every shot and then looked for golf balls in the water or the woods never once looking in my direction or saying go ahead and play through. Expect 5-6 hours no ranger and awful. cow pasture-like conditions. I cannot stress how bad the course is I don't have enough words. This used to be my home track about 10 years ago. Very sad at the conditions I will not be back for another 10 years. Good Luck if you play it!

Very disappointed in the condition of course. Tee boxes and greens were in very poor condition. This course was a favourite in the area. No longer.
The staff, as usual, were very helpful and pleasant to deal with. It is unfortunate that the course has been allowed to deteriorate so much.

First and Last Time Here

Very poor conditions. Not enough grass for the fairways. If you were on the green you were always having to reposition your ball to try and find a line you could putt only on grass. The whole course needs a good bit of TLC to get back to how it should be.
