Nice practice course

After the 4 days of straight rain the course wasn’t all to bad. Muddy in some areas and bunkers flooded but other than that it was a fun and short course to play. Game play was backed up after the second or third hole. Luckily the 2 groups ahead of us played quickly and didn’t waste time.

First timer

First time coming here with a foursome. Very easy, flat and straight course. Nothing too challenging. Cart girl came around fairly often enough, and the club house staff were courteous. The only reason I have 3 stars for staff friendliness was because the Marshall was riding our group and telling us to pick up pace but we literally could not go any faster because of the groups backed up in front of us. We told him this and he still insisted we move faster. Other than that I would still come back here for a easy day of play.

Great course to work on your short game

Played a night round here on Saturday at 5pm. Pace was fine as we only had to wait on a few holes and it wasn't bad. Overall the course was in decent shape. Surprisingly there weren't too many ball marks on the greens. Tee boxes were just soso. Hard to find a level spot to hit from. My only real complaint are those frisbee flags. You sorta get confused when playing at night when visibility isn't the best.

I hear horror stories about this place during the day on weekends though. 5hr rounds on this course is absolutely ridiculous. Should only take about 3 - 3.5 hrs max even for beginners.

Night golf at its best

There's not too many places where you can play night golf. There's even less places where you can play an executive 18 with a cart at night. Some of the fairways are tight and close. There's several times where we have to wait to tee of because there were people in our fairway from two different holes. Some of the pins are hard to find. But I had a blast!

Terrible Pace of Play

It took 5 hours to play an executive course. Threesomes were playing 2 balls and the marshal was not pushing anyone along. If you are looking to drink and swing a club this may be your place. If you are looking to practice and get into a rhythm, this course is not for you.

Short & Sweet

Did not play during optimal whether so conditions were sub par, but overall provided value for price and great course to practice at. Executive style with some nice designs and short yardage focus. Would recommend and revisit.

Fun, Convenient, Affordable

Great way to fit in a round on a Friday afternoon. Easy to take an afternoon off, get to the course and finish a round. The course will not be a big challenge for low-handicappers but it's fair, lots of fun, and very affordable.

The sand traps need maintenance. Too firm. Not enough sand.
