Unexpected Pleasure

Played last summer and found the course difficult and wanting. Maybe I wasn’t paying attention then, but this second round was a completely different experience! Tees and greens were plush (greens rolled really well and true), many trees had been cleared and the clubhouse was strikingly refreshed. We had a great lunch afterwards and my playing partner, a 4ish handicap, was impressed. After this round I’ll definitely be back!

Fairways need more grass

Played on a cooler afternoon a day after some rain. The greens and tee boxes were good but the fairways were devoid of grass. Many shots were played off of hardpan or mud. Because the fairways were so poor the ball ran forever and often into ponds, trees and bunkers. Bunkers were OK after the previous days rain.
The starter and pro shop staff were very friendly and helpful. There was no beverage cart and no refreshment after nine holes as the course does not cycle back to the clubhouse. Speed of play was average.
I would wait until better growing conditions emerge to play here again.

Disappointed

The fairways had almost no grass. Played 8 different courses in the last six weeks and these were the worst condition fairways by far. The greens were in decent shape. As a minor note. They don't allow you to take the carts into the parking lot. I've never seen that before here. Be prepared to lug your clubs around.

greens rolled nice. fairways a little thin.

enjoyed this course. played with 2 women who were very talented. would have preferred more seeding on fairways but overall very enjoyable experience. last 4 holes a fairly heavy fog rolled in adding to the unique experience. saw 2 small gators one blue bird and multiple Grey and black squirrels.

Winter Golf

Enjoy the layout, although a bit too many water hazards that come into play. Fairways had a lot of bare spots in them due to no over seeding. Greens seem to be in pretty good shape although they were somewhat slow. Moved around quickly as there were not a lot of players in the afternoon.

Too much $$$!!!

Too much for the round. Pace was really slow 5hr for loop!! Course needs some updates. Lower the rate to $45, that’s justified… For $57 on hot deal reg rate is in the high $60s

A little overpriced but still fun

The fairways had been aerated. If they were in better shape I would have rated slightly higher. I also expected to see water a lot more than only on the back of 18 green. At $40 it would be a good deal but $70 is a little steep for what you get. Still if you’re in the area it’s not a terrible choice.

Lots of bare spots

The fairways had a lot of bare patches and where fairly rough in places. The greens where largely the same. Very thing grass covering along with being pretty sandy and crusty. It was very hard to keep a ball on line.

Great at a hot deal price

Greens currently need help but they're probably about to aerify like other courses in the area so it's understandable. Layout has juat enough direction changes qith water in play on moat holes.

Great staff.

I played as a single and on hole 4 came upon a 4 some qhom were waiting behind another foursome. I skipped hole 5 and there was no one in front of me. Finished 18 holes in 1 hour 48 minutes.

Uneventful and inscenic until hole 18 where you end at a marsh view. A couple areas of a good lake view but not really astounding.
