Great layout, Teeboxes and Fairways need attention

Overall for a $20 hot deal, it was a great value. Since it's a Tillinghast designed course, each hole had a neat with an interesting layout. With that said, the course was fairly beat up and could be in better condition but fortunately, the greens were in great condition, which obviously is the most important. Local knowledge said that the course has seen its best days since there has been numerous changes in ownership and management. One thing that I also noticed is that you have to be extra alert on incoming shots. Teeboxes are too close to other greens. (One tee box was located in the middle of three separate greens!)

Above average excutive course

It's a nice place to get some irons practice and will definitely test your accuracy with narrow fairways and greens surrounded by trees and bushes. Its a good value as long as you don't pay more than $25 so take advantage of the deals. Keep the driver in the bag, the most you'll need is a 3 wood.

Great layout, needs better upkeep.

Overall for a $15 hot deal, this course was well worth it but I wouldn't pay more than $30 to play it. I believe they charge close to $60 regularly. The course has a great layout with some notable holes with elevated tee boxes and driveable par 4s. Most of the greens were in good condition but each hole had a different level of maintenance. Not sure if the management is working on improvement or some holes weren't being taken care of. The course layout has some potential they just need to improve the conditions and it would be a gem.

Extremely Fun

First time playing a links course and it was an enjoyable experience. Twisted Dune definitely deserves its high praise and ranking as one of the best in the state. Difficult layouts but still playable by high handicap golfers - large and wide fairways. Only negative I could say is that their bunkers need attention - full of large rocks and stones. Not sure why since everything else was in very good condition.

Awesome course, extremely fun.

Took advantage of an aerification discount since this course is more on the expensive side even with the regular discounts. For the most part, the conditions were still very good considering they punched the grass about a week ago according to the starter. The layout of the course is great with challenging layouts but still very playable. Each hole was unique and I can't say I have a favorite since each hole I got to was my new favorite. Just a really fun course overall, highly recommended.

Good value

This course isn't immaculate but overall for a public course it's pretty well maintained. Greens and fairways are in good shape. Tee boxes need some work but for $30 it's a great value. Course is fairly wide open. Some of the water hazards are more of muddy evaporated hazards.
