OK Short Course

The course only has par 3s. Many are the same length. The course was in very good condition, considering it is a public course, played by a wide range of players.
The pace of play is a bit longer than was expected for a short course.

Very fun little course and pleasant walk.

My wife and I have played here three years in a row as a warm up round and enjoyed it every time. Very short, but good, small greens. Pretty setting and well kept grounds. We’ll be back.

Outstanding Par 3

Great layout with water on 8 holes. Small greens with good break deliver a great short game challenge. The course is consistently well groomed, staff are friendly and the value is outstanding.

Great par 3 course. I’m not sure why it does not have a restaurant or bar! It needs one for the amount of play it gets. With that I would give it 5 stars. Fun course!

Practice shorter shots

This course is for a beginner golfer, or someone who wants to practice their wedges, or maybe a 9 or 8 iron. There was nothing over 140 yards, and most holes were between 80 and 120 yards.The staff and players were all very friendly, but this is for short wedge practice. The bunkers were quite deep and in fair condition. The greens were quick, but bumpy and sparse in places. The pace of play was good and everyone was friendly and cordial. Tees were beat up with divots , and hairy. Didn’t really matter though, cause you didn’t need a tee for the shorter clubs to hit . Fun course to walk, as there are no power carts allowed. Overall fun time , but not a course for a serious player.

Window of opportunity

Fit this course in when faced with 2 days of sitting idle due to rain. Very well maintained. Great par 54 course. Easily fit in a round without rain drops in about 2 hours.

Course seemed to be quite backed up for first nine holes. Had to sit and wait at each tee. Have played when it was not so backed up but certainly was this round.
