The 797 Elks

For the price you pay, you get every amount of your money spent out on the course. The greens are pure along with some beautiful par 3s over the water. The fairways need to be cut down a little bit but causes little to no problems other than visuals. If you are wanting to play a course that gives you good bang for your buck this is a great option.

Average country course

Not a lot to write here except the pro shop/restaurant looked nice. The course itself was less memorable.

Not to difficult but still has some challenge holes

Always enjoy playing here. Greens in good shape even after very little rain. Retired recently and finally getting back to playing golf after a couple years off.

No booking record.

I booked a tee time at "12:00" online.
But they didn't have that record.
12:00 o'clock was actually right in the middle of 2 big competitions and they could not let any visitor tee off.
On top of that 12:00 o'clock was not a tee time according to their pitch. 11:54 or 12:02 could be a tee time.
In the end, I could start at 13:30 after the competitions.

Whose mistake??????

I like this course.

The greens were not in very good shape. Too many different types of grass and the putting was not smooth at all. Too many pits and the putting line was never straight.

I like this course.

Greens were not in great shape. The rough was very thick, and the grass was too long.

Mixed emotions

Before I’m a bit harsh to this course I will say this is a very easy course and I would recommend for beginner golfers. It’s very short and flat. Greens are slow. For beginners I would recommend this course to some of the harder courses around this area. If you are advanced golfer and are under a 10 handicap this isn’t for you. My tee time was at 12 and I had to wait for a cart to come in before I could start. Once I waited 10 minutes for someone to finish their round and take their cart there was 3 groups of 4, a solo with kids, and an elderly couple all waiting to tee off of one. I usually finish a round in 2-2 1/2 hours if I’m not waiting on people. It took me nearly 5 hours as a solo to finish. It was pointless to let me play through because of how backed up the course was. Maybe it was a busy day? Who knows. After my round I was hungry and wanted a drink so I went to the bar and sat there for a few minutes and didn’t get acknowledged at all by staff. I just got up and left. Like I said I would recommend for beginners or not advanced golfers but not experienced or fast paced golfers but I will not be returning.
