Beautifully Maintained Course
The course and staff exceeded my expectations. It was in excellent condition! It was a great value for what I paid to play. Also, a staff member adjusted the rental clubs driver to my exact specs. The only small detail that could be improved is that the greens were a little too hard and didn’t hold that well, but that is very minor. It was my first time there and I will gladly play it again and adjust for the greens now that I have course knowledge.

Hidden gem
Nice surprise from this off the beaten path course. It's a bit of a target shoot but almost all holes a picturesque.
