First Time Playing

Great course, a little pricey

40 bucks was a little much just because of the course conditions, the fairways could’ve been a little nicer and some areas in the rough were basically grass on stone just off the fairway (good luck taking out a divot with a wedge you might break a club) If this course had a great clubhouse, and better overall comforts, it’d definitely be worth 40 bucks. But, if I can go play green hills often for less, I’m just going to do that. Thankfully, the course layout is absolutely fantastic. Idk that there was a single hole that WASNT a dog leg. Which I love, because it actually makes you think. If you can play here for less than 40 bucks, snag that chance.

First time on course.

Track was nice layout, But a couple of tees could use tree trimming off the box.Would play again, But not after a heavy rain, course doesn't drain well. A lot of standing water.

Nice track

Nice layout, couple of trees could use a trim on two of the tees. Definitely would play it again. Don't go after a heavy rain course does not drain well.

Worst Customer Service

This course doesn’t accept Golf Now Deals even though they say they do. Was a single player today to play 18 holes with a cart. Wouldn’t let me play 18 because they don’t let anyone play 18 holes after 2:45pm. I was there at 2:15 to check-in and my reservation didn’t go through the golf now app. There was hardly anyone there and wouldn’t let me play the full 18. Will not go back because of the poor customer service. What a shame….

75% of this course is absolutely perfect

For vermilion Ohio, I’m pleased with this course, that being said for $40 dollars per person, I would much rather golf the Cleveland metro parks. The greens here are horrible, not only is this a very tight course; the fairways are literally bordering each other on 17 holes, but the greens are in terrible condition. I believe it’s because there’s no visible way to enforce carts too close to the greens so the whales who can’t walk 15 feet drive to the fringe. That being said, it’s a great course that’s quiet and densely wooded, that provides challenges for every shot. I thoroughly enjoyed our round but I would never pay a premium tee tie to play a muni quality course.
