Could be better.

Very slow pace. No Marshall to help keep pace up. Cart paths are in bad shape as well as the carts. There at about four greens that you cannot stop your ball. The slope on them is on the verge of illegal. You can get a better value at other courses in the area.

Time tested FUN course

This was the first golf course I ever played over 20 years ago. I was pleased to find the association with the GolfNow Go Play payment and reservation system. The memories of past rounds came back and the course is just as remembered, with its, long play and pleasant staff and grounds ! Would like to see the bunks with more sand, ground very hard in bunker bottoms.

I loved the landscape

In a whole picture, the course was quite and not very crowded, challenging due to the trees on the course as well as by the foliage, which is normal for this season. Staff were excellent and it was not my last time to play this course

Sadistic Hole placements,

The start of play was slow but opened up after the 3rd hole. Hole 4 has a lake on one side and a large tree near the green, which slows down play. Hole 7 has a green that is sloped from the back to the front at about a 30 degree angle. With the pin placement in the back part of the green that meets the woods within 15 feet. Again slowing down the speed of play. If you want returning players, don't make them wait, ease up on the pin placements and speed up play. I can see making things much more difficult during tournament play. Other than a few holes, everything went smooth. A nice course for our discounted price. They should be commended on the overall condition of the fairways and greens.

Nice place

We played a very nice 3 hour & 50 minute 18 holes.
One green needed a little attention but most of the course was in nice shape. Great staff from front desk to cart girl they would have me come back just because of them... I will return.. Soon

Classic old design

I played here many times with my sons as they were growing up and played on Fathers Day. It is a classic old design, challanging length and nice layout. If you miss fairways and greens, you will pay for it. A lot of beautiful mature trees, but lacks ruff around the greens. If you miss the greens long you will pay for it. Chipping on dirt is harder than you think.

They allow people to play slow, even when being told. It took 45 minutes to play 3 holes. Totally unacceptable !

very nice and tight

Met up with a buddy from H.S. and had an absolute blast. Course is pretty tight so placement is key...several greens also proved very challenging...will definitely be back to play again.
