Burnt Out Course

Played for the first time in probably 15 years and was totally disappointed. The course was totally burnt out (fairways, greens, tee boxes). It was a shame i enjoyed this course in the past. We were also stuck behind four groups that were way to slow. Took almost three hours to play nine holes. We skipped all of them and finished without seeing another golfer. Luckily this was a group golfer deal so did not spend a lot. If I had payed full price I probably would have asked for money back.

Fairways

Fairways could use a little attention - very dried out in places.

Good, but Better Available for Price

The course is not even remotely close to walkable. The commute between holes was not a traditional layout. Spent too much time in the cart between holes.

The course itself plays nice. Fairways and tee boxes could have been better maintained.

The staff is incredible. Friendly, accommodating and all the things you’d hope to have in a golfing experience.

I would play again, but I have played more highly maintained courses at similar or lower price point. All told, I would play again if in the area but would not be dedicated to the course.

Tough conditions due to lack of rain. Ball was running off hard fairways and greens. Hard to get tees in the ground. Excellent pace and always a good value. Things will improve when rain returns

A really fun course

This is a great course and fantastic value for money. Conditions were much better than you’d expect from a public course. Very well worth a visit

Challenging but fun!

Very difficult from white tees for boogie golf. Recommend to play yellows. Many challenging holes, but fun to play! Friendly staff and not crowded, but need 5 hours to play due to long distances between holes.

Loved it!

We play this course often and love so many holes. Especially 16! There were just a few spots that needed some TLC, but basically the course was in great shape!

Excellent Value

Beautiful course. Well maintained with lots of elevation changes. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Didn’t feel at all like a municipal course.
