Course in Good Shape

The fairway and greens are in good shape. I was surprised the course was empty. I played my round just under 3 hours. Nice

Senior play

1st few holes in new community. From there on wooded, scenic and well laid out. A challenge for mostly all levels. Read the course book on each hole or you’ll be in trouble. Our first time here great time will return.

Not sure why this place is in the to 20

The course was in good shape and fun to play overall. The greens were ok a little sandy and rolled mostly true, The one thing that lets this place down was the clubhouse. The place looks old and had a funky smell. The pro shop is in the basement and not sure if that contributes to the smell. There was a small chipping practice area and but they had no ball to use that day as I was told someone had hit them in the woods. This is the first time that I had to walk a range area to collect practice balls to use to warm up.

Mountain Golf at least 6 holes

The course was well maintained. It was very challenging due to the six holes where you needed mountain climbing equipment to assist LOL. The restrooms were locked and we ended up only playing 9 holes because we found out the back 9 were cart path only due to a storm the day before and the course wasn't dried out.

aerated greens. Not much you can do about that.

Aerated greens,which is all part of golf.Would be nice if golfers would fix their ball marks on the greens.

Return trip imminent

Despite the greens being aerated the course was in great shape. There was a fair amount of challenging holes, coupled with holes where you can get away with an errant shot. I definitely will be returning.

Waste of time and money

I get a phone call one hour before tee time telling me the aerated the greens. I made the reservation days in advance. I appreciate the phone call, but I would’ve made other arrangements if I would’ve known that in advance. We were the only ones on the course and the maintenance guy with the blower fan decided he was gonna follow us around the whole time. Extremely annoying and I will not be back

Great little course

From tee to green, this course was in great shape! The course is well-manicured and there were no blemishes to note on the greens. The course is not terribly difficult, but they do have fairway bunkers throughout so landing it in the fairway is a priority. Lots of elevation changes.
My only recommendations for improvement are for off the course amenities. The restaurant is closed between 3pm-5pm. We made the turn at 3:30 and were starving! There's not much of a selection in the pro shop either. They don't even have gatorade; just sodas. Oh, and there's no driving range to speak of. Well, there is one but it's hitting wedges off carpet. Don't bother. There is a putting green, though. Overall, it's a great little course and a good deal on the wallet! I will definitely be going back!
