It's OK Golf Course

The staff were wonderful, but the golf course was wet on some areas. Other than that it's a great golf course for the money I paid.

Staff exceeds expectations

It's March so green & lush would not be a fair description. I was a little disappointed that some (forward) tee areas had no grass at all. Temporary? There had been some recent aerating but that was not an issue. I'm used to better course quality at this price point. That said, I'm likely to play here again. The staff was friendly and helpful on every level.

Better courses in area

You get what you pay for. It was very slow and the fairways had just been punched, chucks of dirt everywhere and local high schoolers did not want you to play thru. Don’t go late afternoon.

What a chill course!

My wife (not a golfer) looked around and found this course, but wasn’t confident enough to purchase the round for my birthday (we were going to be in the area). I checked it out and snatched up the hot deal right away.
The picker was down, so I couldn’t warm up on the range, but I was able to start early instead.
The course is well laid out and well marked. There are not a lot of “gotchas” to worry about, so it played very straight forward. The tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and greens were all in great shape and the pace of play was excellent. there were several spots where the cart path was being repaired, but that was not an issue because I’m happy to see a golf course making necessary repairs.
This was a very enjoyable, no stress round. I recommend this course!
