About

The size of the greens can accommodate a variety of hole locations, allowing the course to play differently each time. You'll be tested with 80 strategically placed bunkers and 14 different lakes that come into play throughout. The generously wide fairways are seemingly docile but the subtle slopes and rolling terrain can be unforgiving.

Good value
Nice layout, conditions were average. A few weeds in the greens but it’s February and excusable. Overall,, a little better than average course but well worth the bargain price of $33.
Pace of play
Pace of play was tear able. There were 6 teams of 5 players and we were were not allowed to tee off on the back with no one coming up on nine or tee off on 10. Playing in a twosome the pace miserable .
Beautiful course
For middle of January i was not expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised. Fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. The greens were near perfect. The bunkers need to be redone but other than that i was a really fun and great course. The clubhouse has this huge restaurant that i didn’t get to go to but looked really nice as well. I will be back. 9.5/10
This course is overrated
Not a terrible course but maybe my expectations were way too high . Bunkers were horrrible , greens subpar. Here and there you’d have nice fairways and greens but as any golfer will tell you , one bad kept green or fairway ruins your round and this one had several unkept.
Course receives great grooming
As a single, I teamed up with a couple of older players more my age who were a delight to play with. Their familiarity with the course helped me greatly.
Course is great. Pace is SLOW
Had a 9:40 Tee time on Saturday morning. The range is in good shape. Practice putting and chipping greens are not reflective of the green conditions on the course (Greens on the course are much faster). We teed off 15 minutes after our scheduled tee time due to the course backing up already. GPS cart had us at 10 minutes behind pace after just 3 holes and we finished our round in just over 5 hours and not once did any marshall come out and ask anyone to pick up the pace of play. Makes for a long frustrating round when you are waiting that long between shots. The course is in great shape all around but if they don't enforce the pace of play as they track on the carts then you might as well find somewhere else during these hot summer days.
Best All Around Course
This course is one of the best for the price in the area. Great staff and restaurant. As of late, the fairways are 8/10, Greens 7/10, and outside cuts & bunkers 8/10.
Nice course for the money !
Great course but they had just aerated the greens and only had 9 holes open.
Would have been nice if there was a notice posted.
Only complaint is there are a lot
of fivesomes playing during the week.
Recommended
Highly recommend. Fairways were in good shape. The greens were in great shape and true. The pins placements were tough on some holes so you had to decide to play to wide open space or challenge your game. No Marshall on the course but pace of play for our threesome was good. Plenty of water but only in play if you missed badly. Great service on the course.
