Beautiful course

This is is a beautiful course. The staff are always friendly . The layout is challenging but not overly hard for us mid range handicapers! We play here whenever we can find a deal on Golf now otherwise it can be a bit pricey!

Excellent little course!

Not for big bombers. Tight fairways, and the course makes you think about each shot. Excellent condition and staff!

Danger of hitting houses and people

First time on course and staff was amazing!! Fun course if you hit a straight ball, but anxiety producing if you hook or slice as the fairways have houses right on top of them.
When you don't have houses, you have fairways on either side so care must be taken so you don't hit someone or damage property. I found laying off the power helped at the cost of distance, but I was okay with that. Still, I would play this course again, because it's beautiful, challenging, and the staff is top notch!

One of the best courses in area. Greens, tee boxes, and fairways were all in great shape.

Carts don’t work well

Greens are very good. Smooth and fast. Tees and fairways are decent. Fairways are thin for a Country Club. Carts are a problem. My cart told me to get back on the cart path when I was in the middle of the fairway on the 150 yard marker. At one point , it stopped me and told me to get on the cart path when I was on the cart path.

Very nice

Greens, tee boxes and fairways in perfect condition. Holes aren’t real long but landing areas are tight, need to choose your tee club wisely. Will be back!

Short Course

Really enjoyed this course. It was recently updated and was clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The course is a little short and narrow. Greens are hard and roll true. Would like to see a black tee box to extend the game a little bit.

Enjoyable

Course was short but I’m pretty good shape. Wasn’t able to play holes 10 and 11 because of a wedding…? Seems like we should’ve gotten some form of refund.
