Love this course.

Upon arrival we were told that the driving range was not in operation, which me and my playing partners weren't happy about. Also the fairways were not in great shape as if they weren't being watered. Other than that we had a great time. Staff was very friendly.

Hello Marshal???

The pace of play was horrendous. The players in front of us would not let us play through. We were twosome they were a foursome. They were 2 holes behind causing a 5-1/2 hour round. Normal would be 4 hours on this course.

All golf courses should have marshals to prevent this from occurring.

Classic Municipal Course

Always enjoy this type of course. Wide fairways and even if you miss the fairway on the hole you're playing, chances are you'll be able to play from an adjacent fairways. The greens are fairly level insuring a decent putting experience. I drained a couple of 20 footers.
