Excellent weather
Used cart

Be wary after the rain

The recent rains meant the course was pretty water logged. I played two days after the most recent rain and it was cart path only for riders. You are severely
penalized for hitting off the fairway as the grass was very deep and sticky. The grass was about 4 to 5 inches high and lost balls were a given if you're not hitting the fairways. The putting surface was spongy on some holes.
This was a good learning experience and now have some knowledge on playing in such conditions.

Good course that could use some TLC

Cold and windy for a July day. I'm not my best with an 8AM tee time and a 45 minute drive, but the course was great. The cart paths are so lumpy that it encourages you to drive on the course more than I'm comfortable with. But after a few bumps I felt I had no choice. The layout is good and I enjoyed myself.

Great 9-hole course

The course was pretty busy, but everyone was playing ready golf so there wasn't too long a wait for teeing off at each hole. The course is very walkable, but there are carts available. I used Hot Deals to get a great price, but during checkin they couldn't find my reservation. But since I had the print out, there was no issue getting me on the course. So be warned, if you do get a Hot Deal tee time here, there may be issues at checkin so bring a printed receipt.

Beautiful day on a soggy course

The course was soggy, but expected after a day of rain. Currently there's lots of construction going on, so some of the holes are quite noisy. Play was quite good, but there were some soggy/muddy areas. Even though the pro shops said golf carts must stay on the cart path, some ignored that making some very deep ruts. Overall using Hot Deals meant this game was very much worth the money. Will definitely come back. Oh and don't miss the deer lounging around on the sunny holes.

Course well-drained after a rainy weekend

Perfectly sunny day, no wind, and the hot deals price; you couldn't ask for better golf. Great course to work on your short game, longest hole is 156 yards; just make sure you can hit fairly straight. But even if you can't, you can always work on your uneven lie shots. You'll also meet some very nice people on the course.
