Nice course - Always a great course to play!

Everyone was great! Booked on GolfNow. When checking in was asked if I was over 60. When I said 'yes', they gave me the senior rate was even better than the GolfNow rate!

Course had some issues in some of the fairways but, other than that, was in good shape and fun to play!

Great layout

Love this course. A little work to do on the fairways due to some rain damage but other than that it’s a fun and challenging course in pretty good condition for the most part. Maybe cut the rough a bit lower to make it easier to find a ball when you miss the fairway but overall this course is a good value. Will definitely come back

Going downhill like a Great Life course

Fairways were trash ! Was not mowed and some had big dirt strips in them . Pace of play was slow . People that can’t consistently hit a 250 yard drive should not be playing from the blue boxes . Also move the pin locations . I have plated this course for the past 7 years and some of the pin locations never move .
