nice if you have time

Very nice track, but mid monday morning was full of slow players.
Front 9 was real nice & quick, but back 9 was backed up, due to time i could not finish my round

domed greens

i booked a hot deal with golf now for $11, so even though conditions were not ideal due to the 25mph winds, i thought why not.
First, the course is located on an unpaved road, so you will need a car wash after visiting.
Second, the front 9 is pretty run of the mill course, wide open with plenty of room for any wayward shots.
Third, back 9 is also pretty run of the mill apart from the greens are so domed that no approach shots will hold on the green, this becomes extremely frustrating as good shots are not rewarded.
Forth, i would not play here again.

good course

I was the first tee time on a wet & windy day.
The fairways are very wide, the greens were good & i enjoyed the course layout.
Will definitely play in the summer when the conditions are better.

vast improvement

played this course a few years back & i have to say it has improved. i was very impressed with the greens & fairways, it has plenty of water, forced carries, bunkers, doglegs etc.. everything you need in a golf course & for the special deal $25 it is great value.

difficult greens

tee time was very early morning & there was still fog covering the course, so our tee time got pushed back as there were many groups on the first tee. the fog made it very difficult & the greens changed dramatically during the round as the moisture evaporated. nice course with interesting layout. the course is wide open as there are no trees apart from along the property line. will play again

Walked

nice & quick

played at 6pm on Sunday for $10 walking, nice little executive 9 hole course that does not have any par 5's so no need for any woods.
pretty simple layout in nice surroundings, but the cart paths are in terrible condition & there is a lot of geese cra* on the holes by the lake.
only takes about 1 hour to get around walking.

interesting

paid $15 to play 18 holes, so there's nothing to complain about.
fairly tight course where the dogleg holes require good shot selection. good selection of interesting holes that have great greens.
make sure rain is not in the forecast as this place will flood quickly.
will play again

nice place with nice greens

i really enjoyed playing this course, we got a deal on golf now for 60% off, so for the price its a great track.
the course is very fair & the greens are very quick,
but i had one issue, if your ball rolls off the fairway the amount of dogwood pollen makes finding your ball very challenging.
will play again if the deal is right.

easy & close to home

Got a deal on golf now $14 on a holiday afternoon, so what can you expect for the price.
The layout is crazy, the fairways are tight & need attention, there is no water & few bunkers, the distances markers are wrong, but the greens are great & the people are nice.

nice place

this is a very nice facility all the way from the driveway to the clubhouse, practice & course.
booked this with golfnow $24, absolute steal, not sure if i would pay the regular rate as this could easily be over 5 hour round at peak time.
there was 1 temp green on the 3rd hole, but otherwise the course was in good shape. this is one of these courses that prior knowledge will really help as there are blind shots, some small landing areas etc,, greens are true & not too challenging.
i will return if i can get a golfnow deal.

interesting

a work colleague recommended this course, so after 2 years i finally booked it. i played as a single early morning ($23 with a cart), so i could get around quickly (2 1/2 hours) as the course is a hour drive round trip.
it was very wet, but dried out on the back nine, very interesting course, nice mixture of short, long & doglegs & undulating greens, but the best part is the elevation changes & sloping fairways, that never provide a flat lie.
this course is definitely worth the drive, to score well you need prior course knowledge or a range finder with slope.
it is located off a dirt road so take a truck & a couple of extra bucks for a car wash afterwards.

too similar

i was really disappointed as i was looking forward to playing the course, but all the holes are the same, short, flat, par 4 , straight out, the golf course needs more character.
the course conditions were good considering it had rained the previous day & the greens were ok.
for the price i was expecting more & there is nothing here to make you want to return.

excellent all round

our foursome was unsure if we should play or not as it was raining, then showers then drizzle etc.., but we did.
Very nice course with some nice challenging holes & a great layout.
Considering the hours of rain prior to our start the course was in great condition, i really enjoyed this course & the staff were very helpful.
Two pieces of advise, 1) follow the marked lines across the parking lot to get to number 13 as we went all the way to number 18 by mistake. 2) call the pro shop for rates as we only saved $1 using golfnow.com after fees.
If i lived closer to this course it would definitely be on my play again list.

unrealistic greens with some crazy pin locations

short course with some interesting holes, tee boxes and cart paths require maintenance.
the only real issue i have is the small domed greens.
you can hit a great approach shot, but due to the domed shape of the greens, the ball will roll off the green
depending on pin location if you misread a putt, the ball will roll off the green.
after 18 holes the greens lost their humor/character & were just annoying.
if you think you can putt & read greens this would be a good reality check.

great value for quick round

the course is 3 - 9 hole courses, we played orange then red, both courses were short & easy without any hazards.
the course layout was a little confusing, but added to the fun.
we completed 18 in less than 3 hours & for approx $1 a hole there is nothing to complain about.

bad course with great greens

this course is in need of major maintenance, some tee boxes are only sand, the cart path is like an old fashioned roller coaster & bug bites are guaranteed, but the greens are fantastic.
front nine is more difficult than the back, but either nine is not very long.
my tee time was the deal of the day & i also used the FBBOGO13 code to get 50% off, so it is hard to complain for $11 for 18 with a cart.

the best $24 golf course i have played

Played at 1.00 on a Thursday which was the hot deal, then use a 25% discount code - price $24.
The course is long & requires prior knowledge or you will loose a ton of balls, i had 3 guys who know the course & provided tips on almost every hole. The fairways are in good condition, but some the greens were being aerated. Nice layout with water, elevation changes & some monster mansions tucked around the course. Very enjoyable.

nice for $38

played here because it is close to home & needed to avoid the 30 minutes each way journey to cheaper courses. we paid $38 which is much cheaper than the very expensive regular price, which i would not pay even for the convenient location. the course layout is very strange & not your normal go out & then come back in on the front & back nines. due to this layout & the elevations changes walking is not allowed. the course was in great condition, with good sand in the bunkers & the greens were undulating & very difficult to read. the course appears to be short, but with the elevation changes don't be fooled. will play again for the discounted price only.
