Great time great course

Course was in great shape overall. Played as a single during the week and felt like I was by myself out there. (7:40am Wed Tee time). Even had a scramble tournament that started at 8am and I never ran into them nor them into me.

Greens were fast and but consistent. Only one or two looked like it had some rough patches.

Overall I had a great time. The staff was friendly and really made you feel like a member.

Course Conditions and Amenities

Tee boxes and fairways varied greatly by hole with a lot of bare spots. Greens were in good shape. Pace of play was slow and no ranger to maintain proper pace. Cart paths are terrible and there were several water coolers but only one had water and the several water fountains at the bathroom locations had no refrigeration which is not acceptable when 94 degrees! Beverage cart came around once in the entire round. Better courses and amenities at other locations near by and less than $78.00 to play. Impression is they don’t have the money to keep up the course like it used to be maintained.

Overall good experience.

Fairways were excellent, greens were very good, and sand traps were perfect, but rough was average. Some hazards were hard to see from the tees, especially playing the course the first time..

Ranger Wanted

Course is in nice shape overall. Greens are smooth - not too fast. Only issue was the pace of play- played single behind a threesome that was super slow. Poor etiquette on their part for not letting me pay through.

Clubhouse under renovation?

Maybe my favorite

I know it’s out of the way, but worth it. The course is in great shape. The greens are quick, but fair. I’m most impressed by the water hazards. There are many, and they come into play to challenge you. The design of the course lets a long hitter or high handicapper clear the water with a good shot or get a penalty, as it should be. Take your time and enjoy this beautifully designed course.

My favorite golf course.

Don’t pass up a chance to play this exceptional golf course. For the first time golfer or low handicap player, this course will challenge you and reward you. The hazards, in particular the water hazards, are real, not just nice looking scenery. The greens are in great condition. I played during a light rain, so can’t comment on the sand traps. Come when you have time to enjoy an exceptional day of golf. It’s worth the greens fee.

Great layout, good condition

Very nice layout with challenging holes but fair. Some beautiful scenery on the river. The conditions were good considering that it’s been a tough spring for most of the courses.

Worth playing

This course has been up and down last few years. Fairways a bit thin but you can find a lay playing winter rules. Greens have improved since they were redone a few years ago. Occasionally silly pin placements make some putts impossible. Practice facilities are good and staff is always helpful. It’s off the usual golf destination but it is worth a ride especially on a nice calm day. Some views are fantastic .

Fairways Need Lots of Work

Greens are better than most courses around. The fairways were brutal they all need tons of work. They need a Marshall on the course front nine was good The back nine was over an hour longer than the front

Local knowledge or guide book required

It is an interesting layout with multiple left doglegs and multiple water areas that can be reached off the tee box. Planning each shot is needed , with lots of sand in areas opposite water hazards.
If you hit it where you want, it's a fun course with fast but true greens.
