Women’s bathroom is a mess for Years!

The clubhouse bathrooms are a disgrace and have been for years! This could be a beautiful place to hold events - but the bathrooms are a disgrace!

Great Value for a Course in Great Shape

Course is in really good shape for the money, greens rolled true. Staff is great. Front 9 plays pretty easy compared to the back.

Local Course Keeps Getting Better

Booked through GolfNow website. Staff was very friendly. Allowed me as a single to head out early since they were not super busy. Course was in good condition and being improved during my round - new sand being added to bunkers on the back 9. Not a super difficult track, but will keep you on your toes and honest. Greens were firm, but fair. Will be back again

Confusing layout, frustrating back 9

Course was in great condition. Awesome that they had a full restaurant. Staff was friendly. Only 6200 from the tips. Pace of play was the best out of any course I've played, finished in just over 3 hours.

The layout was so frustrating, particularly the back 9. Trees line just about every hole and if you miss the fairway your ball is gone. If you're not a straight hitter, bring a half dozen balls.

Do not walk the course. There is a long winding bridge through marsh with narrow tracks to keep the cart on.

Tons of blind shots and doglegs that lead to marshes/water. Do not play here unless you have some sort of a course GPS.

Cart return is confusing, no signs on where to put the carts, everyone just parks them in random spots.

Would recommend playing the front 9 only.

Very Nice!

Booked through GN, mobile check in. Staff was very friendly, guided our foursome to where we needed to be. Course was in good condition, nice layout. Not a difficult track, but will keep you honest. Greens were firm, but fair. Played just the front. Will definitely come back again to play all eighteen.
