A good course that could use some TLC

An overall good experience. Definitely some drought impacts and greens aerated recently played into some less than ideal conditions. But it's a good layout with some challenge and interesting holes.

Course layout is very challenging, however Fairways had alot of dirt spots (i.e. no grass)
Greens were in good shape!

Fairways and rough are the same

Hear me out… you pipe you’re drive 299 yards landing in middle of the fairway and you’re hyped to have a short wedge shot on… you get to your ball to see it’s sitting in bare piece ground, compacted sand like dirt… it really kills the enjoyment. For the price there are cheaper courses in better condition. Only thing this course really has going for it is a fun yet challenging layout.

Could be better

A good value for veterans/active duty from M-Th. I would not pay $70+ to play here on the weekends.

Course was average at best.

Very friendly staff.

Facility well run. Fairways pretty toasty. Wide landing areas, 17 and 18 toughest holes. Plenty of sand traps. 100 deg day more water jugs would of been nice. Great post round beer and burger part of green fees. Glad I played it.
