Nice, easy course

Played with a guy and his wife and brother. Nice local people who were happy to show me the blind drives etc (there were a few). Started out very cold but warmed up.
Nice course, very short and in pretty good shape. Some good views of the lake.

Bring a bookto read

Although the course is short, there are several holes that make for a great challenge. Fairways a little damp and greens still slow from past rain. Biggest problem is that the course attracts that either don't understand letting faster players play through or just don't care. a drive through by a marshall every hour or so could remedy this inconvenience. I had to wait on every shot and putt of the twosome I was following. one of them could barely get the balll off from the tee box but would wait until the group on the green ahead of him was done putting, even tho he was at least 200yd out. You get the picture.

Great course

Went and played here around 12pm and had no one in front of me. The fairways were well kept and the greens were taken care of as best as they can due to the weather lately. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area, best bang for your buck

Nice

It was our first time playing this course.
Interesting layout with some nice lake and mountain views.
Play was slow as they allow walkers. Greens were slow but in great shape.

Affordable, but won’t go back

Pace of play was really bad. I waited up to 10 min on every tee shot. No course etiquette from other groups there. Tee boxes were in rough shape. Fairways were alright. Greens were soft.

Confusing layout, and dangerous. I almost got hit twice waiting to tee off on hole 2. Directly behind the tee box is hole 8’s green (dogleg right). Balls were flying everywhere.

If you play here, just pay for 9. You won’t be able to get through 18 on the weekend in under 5 hr. Also, no alcohol sold or allowed at the course.
