A favorite

There's a reason why this course has a 98% recommended rate from reviewers. This course is always in great shape and I just love the layout. A really fun but challenging course that always causes you to think. No two holes are alike, except for maybe two par 5's. Other than that, each hole is original. We played a couple of weeks ago when we had gotten several inches of rain and the course drained so well it was unbelievable. We also couldn't believe how fast the greens were with how wet they were. This is a favorite of ours and it's always worth the drive, especially considering the value.

Oustanding Course

This is the 2nd time I've played the course. The practice facilities are nice with a chipping and putting green. The few staff we've run into have been incredibly nice and courteous. The course condition was excellent and the layout is fun and interesting. There are no boring holes. A great find.

Always a favorite, getting too pricey

Great condition as always and one of my favorite courses. However, the rates have gone up effective May 1st and the value is dropping. $79 for a weekend rate is pretty steep for this area, probably the highest public rate in East Texas. We played the next day at Twin Lakes in Canton for $55, which is a steal compared to this. I will still play here but sparingly because I think $80 is a little too proud of itself.

Always a favorite, getting too pricey

This course is 45 minutes from me and is one of my favorites. However, with new ownership, the new green fees are a little steep. We played last Saturday morning and paid $80 a piece. Definitely one of the most expensive public courses in this area. Probably because of that, the course was not busy at all on a holiday weekend.

Great condition. Greens were awesome and fast, but can't justify $80 except on rare occasions.

We played Twin Lakes in Canton the next day for $50. Much better value.
