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.
