Golfing on a budget...

I would have to say, we probably will never played this course again. For us it was a bit of a drive and when we arrived we thought of course would be different. The pictures on the site and reviews did not match what we experienced.

Great every time!!

Now have golfed 3x on this course and it is great every time!! Without rain the course has been beautifully maintained. The only complaint I can honestly find is the tree maintenance could be better - slightly overgrown making play tight - extreme on some holes but I personally love the challenge so no issues here for me there. Staff is great and play is great - best value near me as well. See you soon!

Mixed

Nice mom and pops type couse that challenges your accuracy off the tee...really small green. Back 9 need a little love with the vegetation, tree trimming. Entire course could use a good grass cutting. Green were in great condition and rolled smooth.

Overall, a descent course to play for a practice with a few challenging holes.

Great value

I’ve played this course 4 times this summer and fallen in love with it. Great layout on this shotmaker’s course with fantastic greens. My only issues are 3 holes on the back... 10 is so dry and burned out that half the green on this long par 4 cannot be hit onto because it’s concrete, and the whole area around the same hole is concrete/bare grass where there should be a collection area and rough....it makes a long/medium iron shot impossible. Then on 11, they need to remove/trim back some trees which can make the hole unplayable, especially for lefties. 17 is a ‘golf in a hallway’ hole with overgrown trees which needs a rethink - possibly cutting back trees and changing/updating the green complex to defend it, otherwise a decent player can just hit two 9 irons and make birdie, like I did today. LOVE this course...and if you fix those 3 holes it goes from a B+ to an A/A+ course. A true gem!
