Great Course, Fun Round

Steve and the rest of the staff at the clubhouse were awesome. Only my 2nd or 3rd time golfing here and I hadn't remembered the greens being in such good shape. They were perfect. I was by myself so I paired up with another golfer and made a new friend so that was a bonus. I'll be back more this year for sure.

Whittles

Tees and fairways are in excellent shape. The Bermuda greens were the slowest I have ever putted on there. After a mowing and rolling they will be back to good again. Pace of play was 3 hours for a three some on 18 holes.

Ok for the price

We play here because it’s right next to my buddies office and we can squeeze in 9 before dark when he gets off work. It’s not bad, not great. Started the spring in rough shape, but it’s getting a little better. It’s short, but the layout is fun and some of the holes are challenging enough to keep it interesting.
