Great Course

Really nice facilities. Love that they have a chipping range and sand range on top of the standard driving range at the course. Keep an eye out for maintenance days since part of the course may be shut down at times. Unfortunately my last time when I booked I didn’t realize the driving range is closed on Tuesday mornings and they had the back 9 closed for the day but otherwise this is my favorite local course to play at.

no indication of front nine only during booking, and no water on the course on 110° heat index day

Worst thing is that there is no water on the course on 110° heat index day. Every other course I’ve played at least has a few water coolers spread out. And, Apparently Tuesday morning is a maintenance day, but there was no indication of that when we made our booking. So I got to the course a half hour early thinking I could hit a few balls to warm up, the driving range was closed for maintenance, and then I find out the back 9 holes is closed for maintenance also. So beware Tuesday is maintenance day and if you book on a Tuesday you may only be able to play front or back nine twice and no driving range.

Nice course to play.

It’s a pretty narrow course with some tall grass in the rough. Tee boxes were a little rough but overall the course was in good shape. Very friendly staff!

Tees and greens

Tees were all dirt and green were not cut properly - very long - no break on putts due to shaggy greens

punched greens were bad

did not know when I reserved tee time that greens were punched, sanded and had been allowed to grow out. These were basically 2 putt greens (pick up the ball and take 2 putts)

Nice course

Other than the greens being punched and sanded, course was in good shape. Greens didn’t roll to well or fast but to be expected. Really enjoy the course layout.

For public, about as good as you can get

The greens still need a lot of work. Sand is prevalent on most of them. The layout is fantastic though, so we'll keep playing it.
