Bang for your buck
Fairways nice shape tough greens makes it challenging due to easy course
Ok
A plain Jane course. Good for a warm up.
Just played the back nine. Par 34 with even a par 5.
Suspect the front nine more of a glorified par 3 course. Course was in decent shape and pace of play was ok.
Nice course
Nice course but needs a lot of work in between tee box and greens. But it does show they are trying.
Always fun
The course and staff continue to improve day by day!! It's in such beautiful condition these days!! It's a gun course but challenging especially those greens!!!
Oldie
First group out for the day. Pace of play was perfect....Surrounding community run down and neglected. Definitely takes away from your experience. Good course for beginners to practice on at a fair price.
Good course for your money
Course for an executive course had the nicest fairways I’ve played in a while down here. Greens were changing to say the least. Great value for your money if you like playing executive courses
I got paired up with 3 other nice players! Had lots of fun.
Jipped a Hole for a poor scheduling
Been to this course several times and never once had an issue. Had 4 people in our group and had a group of two behind us. We were playing as a reasonable pace on track to finish 18 holes in 4 hours. We were told by groundkeeper that we had to skip a hole due to them being behind. We did so and went and waited for the group in front of us to finish their par 3. There was no reason for us to be rushed and we were not compensated for missing a hole as we paid for 18 holes and only got 17. I will avoid going here moving forward
Staff Unfriendly
The fairways were Ok but the domed greens were unenjoyable. Got called to the first tee 15 minutes early which would be Ok except we had just got to the driving range. Had the starter yelling at us and also the other couple we got paired with. Also got yelled at by the cart attendant when we were dropping off our cart. Put a damper on the day!
Challenging short course
Fairways and greens great. Tee boxes hard as rocks. Pin placement and rounded greens make scoring well tough. Want to play it again.
Course Ranger Needs Authority
During the round some
belligerent young patrons were bouncing around to open tees and causing unnecessary delays. The course ranger spoke to them and they were disrespectful and ignored the rangers request, challenging the group I was in by loud ly cursing and threatening language. The ranger should have the authority to immediately kick them off the course without refund, and our round should have been reimbursed or credited for another time.
