Enjoyable

If you are not a straight hitter off of the tee box there are several holes that will allow you to play out of the adjoining fairways. or out of the sparse tree lines. The greens were in fantastic shape & probably the most challenging part of the course. They are generous in size, but have many varying breaks & roll very well. All of that said, a windy day & a weak putting stroke can make for a challenging round at this fairly forgiving layout. I'd definitely play it again, but there are certainly equal & better courses in the area that can be had at a lesser price.

GolfNow Screwed Up

Four of us, up before sunrise, drive an hour and ten minutes to the course only to be told there was no Tee Time as they are booked for a tournament. Now mad, they then explained that they have been telling GolfNow to remove them from their website for almost 45-days but they are still getting people walking up with Tee Times the course doesn’t have, all booked through GolfNow.

Great Greens

Overall for the price it was at average at best. Not very well maintained like it used to be. Definitely anything outside first cut of ruff, very tall and thick. The actual rough seemed to be not mowed for at least a week and the fairways in days. The greens were the best part of the course those were just about perfect for this this time of year. But it is in the worst shape I have seen it in years overall.

Didn’t even play

Booked a tee time online and drove 45 minutes to be told the course is closed for a tournament. Still haven’t received my refund from Golfnow. Common sense would tell me that if you’re closed for a tournament you would stop accepting tee times online. Who’s gonna reimburse me for gas and the convenience fee that non refundable?

Needs water

Greens were nice and fast. Fairways were hard pan and some tee boxes were dry and torn up. They need to water fairways and tee boxes.

Horrible greens

The greens were actually sand. I know the course has to aerate the greens, but I have played there before when that has been done and there was still grass on the greens. They should discount or at least have a side note of the course conditions before you book.

Fantastic staff

Course was in great shape for this time of year. Well manicured with solid greens. Staff was amazing all the way around. Kyle the new GM was exceptionally gracious and knowledgeable of the game and even took time out of his day to come help me work on my mechanics at the driving range after I got done with me 18. All in all, this is a great course for beginner golfers as well as seasoned players.

Bad experience all around.

We waited for employees to arrive. When they arrived they were rude and refused to honor GolfNow reservations, claiming they do not have a contract with GolfNow and that GolfNow is committing fraud. We played a round. But, will certainly not be back.

Great course! Love playing there but they stopped honoring GolfPass. Usually played there one a week but most of the staff was not friendly at all.
