All Around Good Time

This course is in excellent condition and the greens are in great shape. You have to stay on the fair ways because the ruff is relentless. This was the second time I played this course and it was well worth the 75 minute drive. I hope to be back at least one more time this year.The only flaw was the lack of sinage to the next hole.

Nice Local Course

Greens in very good shape today. Fairways played long due to hard conditions. Staff are friendly and laid back. Golfers very respectful and kept up pace of play. This is a great local course with nice scenery.

Greens were horrible

I've played this course before and really enjoyed it, but they had just aerated the greens and it was like putting over a bunch of legos. I've never seen greens so bumpy before.

Never Again

Last played course 2 years ago. It was in the summer and the fairways were absolutely horrible. Went back hoping the fairways had gotten better. Sadly they have not. They are probably worse than they were 2years ago. The course is a waste of time and money.

Greens and tee boxes are very good. Fairways are not watered so there is no or brown dead grass on a very hard base. No drinking water on course and ball cleaners are rarely filled. Staff is great and works with what they get. The pace of play can be extremely slow on some days mostly because there are no starters and Golf Now bookings are for 4 players. Nobody is there to group the four players.
