Never again

$46 for this course??? Can do much better for less in the area. I asked about price and the worker said "people come all the time from Cleveland saying they can't touch o course like this in their area for less than $20 more". They can have it. Greens were decent but everything else was like concrete. Much of fairways burned out. Teed off on time and had to wait on the 2nd tee box, and thereafter every hole. 5-1/2 hours and jumped a group the was 2 holes behind and would not let us play through. Will be last $ I ever spend at this course.

Bad Experience

Staff was not friendly or helpful. We were behind a group of four that was 2 hours off pace and nothing was done about it. My group drove in after 12 holes because it had already been 4 hours. We advised the pro shop of our experience and no refund or discount was offered. The course not well maintained. Most tee boxes were uneven and full of patches. The greens were in pretty decent shape for the most part. Overall, I would not recommend playing here. I would go to Maumee Bay if you’re playing in the Toledo area.

Great and challenging course

This course will test you and your shot shaping skills. My only complaint was the driving range was next to the first hole. There must have been 40 range balls all over the first fairway.

Staff

The course was in good shape and the staff in the club house was friendly but the starter....not so much. I’m an avid golfer and have golfed courses all over the state of Ohio. I always drive my cart to my car to get my clubs. Apparently you are not allowed to do that. I didn’t see any signs that said you couldn’t. The starter came over and gave me and my friend a hard time telling us we violated a bunch of rules for the course and was rude and unprofessional. It’s a nice course but beware of the starter.

Guy in the pro shop needs to be less of a d***

Amazing course overall. Played with a buddy from college and loved the course layout, greens were a bit slow but that’s okay. However the guy at the pro shop when I came in to pay for our round was incredibly rude and yelling at golfers as they came in and out of the pro shop. I had placed my bag down outside near the carts and told my buddy to load up while I pay. I had taken one step in the door and this guy yells at me and tells me to “take my bags off the cart immediately”. I was quite confused why he was upset with such an action like dude I am coming to golf not steal your carts. I was already immediately upset with this guy and told him I would walk outside come back in and he can start that conversation again. This guy acted like he had all of the power in the world, like dude you need to relax you work at the pro shop and I am here to have some fun. Other than the guy at the pro shop, would definitely come back and play again.

Slow Pace of Play

My father and I had a tee time for 11:10 am. We showed up at 10:30 to get some putting and chipping in. We were informed that there was a very large golf outing in before our tee time. So we waited until 11:25 to tee off. The group ahead of us was very slow. Also we were paired with a twosome of people we did not know. Overall not a great experience.

Good course

Today was a very good day to golf. Even though it is very hot the pace of play made it very nice. They had all the group split up nicely so there is little to no time having to wait on the Teebox.

Decent course

The course was in decent shape considering we’ve had no rainfall. The pace was great because we went in the afternoon. I still think it’s too much money to play this course.

Staff was friendly! Charge for 18 holes was $31 and considered acceptable. The course was in very good shape with the exception of the tee boxes that I would say are awful. I enjoyed the course and plan to play again first opportunity.

Slow pace

Waited on avg 15 min at every tee box on the front nine, called for a ranger to see if they could have the people in front of us play ready golf, just drove around and came by to say the pace will pick up, 2:45 min for nine is ridiculous, especially you pay $46, tee time was 11:00 and finished at 5:10. Know now not to play on weekends here.l

Cheap round of golf

For $20 including cart for 18 holes you can’t really complain. The people in front of me paid $35 for 18 and that I consider to be a rip off. The pace was quick as we played in 3.5hrs, but the course is in rough shape. Lots of weeds, bunkers not kept up well and bare spots in the rough. However, for $20 I can live with it.
