Great layout.

This is has been a favorite for along time. My issues aren't that major but they do take away from the overall experience. First good size range and there are targets to fire at, but the range balls are horrible. Second the course overall is in good shape, but there is no consistency to the bunkers some have sand some rock and some dirt. As I said though great challenging layout.

Great layout, maintenance is sub par.

Love the layout of this course, I do realize it has been exceptionally dry, but compared to other courses in the area it was in terrible condition. The greens were exceptionally slow, tee boxes were all terrible. The various landscape areas around the course looked horrible and the sand traps well it was a guess on how to play it. Love the layout just think that the course is not being very well maintain.

Bunkers are a joke

Overall this is a nice layout, fun to play but the bunkers especially the fairway bunkers virtually unplayable. The staff very friendly.

The greens were slow, and bunkering was not consistent

Course layout was fantastic. There were either bunkers or waste areas not sure which that were basically unplayable. The green speed was also pretty slow. The staff is outstanding.

Course does not appear to be getting regular maintenance

Love this layout. Challenges every skill level. First the fairways in ok shape. Rough was terrible, alot of areas were rock hard. The greens were receptive but the amount of ball marks on these greens was horrible. Very sad because again this track is a great layout.

Great layout!

This course is one of my favorites. Unfortunately people no longer repair hallmarks anymore. Greens were just ok. The sand traps were also in really poor shape. The staff here is awesome, it makes for a nice atmosphere. The pace of play wasn't bad on the front but when we made the turn we waited on Every shot.

Love this layout. The course was as usual in great shape. The only complaint the pace of play was very slow. No rangers and we had at times 3 groups on a hole. Also the greens as with every course you play, had quite a few ball marks. Either people have no idea on how we to repair them or they are just plain lazy, sad.

Love this course, the only problem was the greens were not cut and the tee boxes weren't either made for a really tough day. And then got behind a foursome that fell a hole and a half behind finally got past them on the 7th hole a to skip a hole though everytime we would approach them they would take off.

This course is really in need of some serious maintenance. The greens were in horrible shape tons of unrepaired ball marks. The sand traps were very inconsistent. The tee boxes were so hard you couldn't hardly push it in without breaking it. And the 2nd hole is really unplayable not because of their doing but it still made for a disappointing day.

This layout is awesome. We play here a few times a year. The only complaint is we were a foursome and they had 3 twosomes and a single behind us. Why the started didn't get these groups paired up is silly. We played our round under 4 hours.

This course was average at best. The sand traps were not taken care of at all. The course is in ok shape. The driving range is terrible. For the $20.00 we paid its not a bad track. It would not be be my first choice ever and maybe not my ninth or tenth choice but it is a fun course. For the $20.00.

This is a nice open track!

Nice course, more for the average golfer to senior golfer. Drove 1 hour and 10 mins.to play here arrived an hour early to hit balls found out no range, that was a big disappointment , my mistake should have asked. It was fun but even from the tips I think it was around 6700 fairly easy course.

This is a favorite of ours for along time, but it appears that they have no interest in taking care of there beautiful layout. The fairways were the worst I have played. The rough was really unplayable, and the greens were so slow you couldn't even putt them. Sad to see such a great layout in such sad shape. The replay cost was only going to be $10.00 we elected to drive over to another course just around the corner and pay $25.00 because we knew we would be playing a course that was well taken care of. Can not recommend playing here very sad.
