It’s a decent course for 9 holes

If you want to play just irons it’s a perfect course for that i personally only work on my iron game at this course. I personally wish they would fix the Greens Greens. There getting pretty rough but for the price it’s a decent deal Lil Rec.

Great course and great price!

A very reasonable price for a Sunday morning tee time! The course was challenging but not overwhelming! I really enjoyed my round!

Irrigating is irritating

I played this course on September 26. The entire course is being irrigated including the tea boxes. Several flags were moved 20 yards in front of the green. No yardage. The whole course was terrible and just a little sign on the window as you walk in seeing some repairs to some greens. Period.

Didn’t get to play

This was a terrible experience. I play here at least once a week. When I got there they confirmed my teatime. I told them that I should be getting a card as well and they said well not today. I said why? He replied that they don’t have any and if I wanted to play I would have to walk. I am 69 years old and paid for a cart. My teatime was for 11:49 AM. At 11:25 AM the starter told me that my group was teeing off right now. I still had no cart and was not going to carry my clubs. And a huff the starter said let me go talk to the pro shop. When she came out she said that you will ride with one of the members of the foursome that was already teeing off. I explain to her that I have COPD and that riding with somebody else it’s not an option. She said what is COPD and there’s nothing she can do. I asked if I could wait until there was a cart available and she replied yes you can but there are at least three groups of four Ahead of you.
I ended up forfeiting my money and went home.
This whole episode makes me rethink of ever playing here again
