Still improving

The tees were in decent shape, I thought the fairways were in great shape, some of the greens still need work, overall the course is a nice golf course to play

Nice layout

Tee boxes could use some work, a few greens were very sandy. Other than that we enjoy this course...
Hilly, so be prepared for calves to be on fire if you're not very good at long shots...
Range is irons only unless your driver distance is about 150

Overall great course.

Very Hilly

Good value. Greens just OK. Only one hole with water. Pace of play was great because it wasn’t crowded; very few golfers. Lots of uneven lies because of so many hills.

Always good to be playing

Surprisingly good course for the value. Would have rated better had the course been fully open and not under repair. (GolfNow.com) did not inform in advance that the greens were being aerated and that play was limited to holes 1 - 3 and 13 - 18. As discovered, the greens were like putting across sand dunes. Tee boxes could also benefit from a bit of maintenance.

My bad for not checking course conditions directly with the pro shop before booking.

Course has wasted potential

I’ve played this course a handful times and have yet to have a positive experience. The staff is typically unfriendly and come off like they think you aren’t good enough for their below average course, the clubhouse is in shambles with a deck off the back nearly falling off completely, and the greens are peppered with weeds. The fees are competitive with courses in the area despite the track lacking in quality. Last round we played out there the Marshall called our carts in 1.5 hours before sunset while we were on the 15th green. Didn’t warn us about an early call time when we paid. Wont be playing there again.
