Nice, but seen better days

Tees, fairways and greens in great shape. Good layout. Fun course. But, the rough, many of the bunkers, several water features, etc. are not well maintained. The clubhouse, facilities more resemble a local muni rather than what you’d expect. You can tell from pictures online and inside the clubhouse that this place was once in much better shape when affiliated with the Westin.

Nice course

All very good with the exception of T-Boxes. They are rough, uneven, unkept. Also, went to get items in the proshop and a beer in the lounge, but all were closed at 3:00 pm

So much potential

Great potential for this course, just feels like it is a little overpriced for what you get. Staff were friendly enough, fairways weren’t great…greens weren’t poor and tee box as a whole were in good shape. Just had high expectations.

When we got off the course we could not enjoy a beer because the club house was closed down and it was only 6:00 very disapointed

Needs TLC

Nice fair layout. Fairways and greens were in pretty good condition. Rough and bunkers were not in very good condition. Wind is always a factor as it’s near the PD windmill farm. Whole course could use a little more attention.

Nice course but needs a bit of TLC

Nice course but needs a bit of TLC. Nice layout but it's a bit ragged at places. Club house is like a couple of ports cabins joined together.

It’s worth the money

Definitely a great deal and fun to play.

If you look at what is $250/round.. this for $50 was a great deal and worth it.

Right away you can tell this course has so much potential to be great. The layout is amazing. The water features are beautiful and with more upkeep and budget it could be one of the better courses in the area.

That said, the greens run great and are in good shape. They are a little hard and hard to hold approach shots at times. Sand in the bunkers was nice too. Fairways were in good shape and great lies everywhere. There is no rough. It’s hard and patchy grass with dead spots. That’s the only real negative is it’s lacking in the fine details but you’re not paying the price deserving of those things.

Everyone was over the top friendly and we would come back in a heartbeat. It is a great course for a fun time, knocking the rust off on a first round of the trip or year and a great cheap twilight round. We played 18 holes and didn’t start until 3:50pm. Very quick pace of play.

Save your money and play somewhere else.

The course was in poor shape. They need to water a lot more. The greens don’t hold a wedge shot and it’s all brown around the greens. The ball rolled pretty true on the greens when putting, that was the only positive thing. The carts are old with flat tire and holes in the seats. It’s a tired track! It’s worth $60 dollars, that’s not even close to what we payed.
