Great city course!

Love playing here right on the lake. My favorite part is that they have the Marshalls telling people to speed up play so it doesn't take 3 hours for 9 holes. Super friendly. Tricky greens and great course overall!

Great after work round

Great place to play 9 holes after work. The course was in great shape, very easy to find errant balls. They had sprinklers on while we were playing which was troublesome at times but otherwise a perfect round

Happy New Year

Shocked we were able to get out on New Years Eve Day. For a public 9-hole course - can't beat this one. Great views of the lake. Some easy holes. Some tough ones - namely #4. Can have pace of play issues during summer weekends. One of my favorites for a quick nine.

Rude staff / starters

I’ve never seen a starter panic so badly over a slow day. We arrived 5 minutes prior to our tee time at the box and she’s rudely asking if we are ready over and over while we are on the tee box about to hit. The group in front of us was only 150 yards out and no one in sight behind. Had the same treatment checking in at the pro shop with the older gentleman. Very rude, doesn’t want to listen to my question. Rushing me out for some reason. Just panic amongst the staff. Other than that the course fun. Fairways / bunkers could use more work for the price. Greens are nice. Overall a fun course and not a fun staff
