Save your money for a few weeks. All greens punched!

I’ve played this course 3 times this year. It was excellent in all respects the first two rounds. Today I was notified at check-in that the greens were being aerated. I went ahead and played anyway.
My mistake…Temp pins were setup in fairways. Skip this course for a month or so until greens come back.

Keep up the pace

We’ve all been there before but keep up the pace especially if there is no one in front of you. The group in front of us held up the next 3 groups.

Pretty nice course

the greens and fairways were in great condition. They have a nice driving range and chipping/putting areas and fairly new Yamaha carts. Only drawbacks for me are that the holes are not marked, it was fairly easy to find the next tee box the way the course is laid out, but it got confusing a few times. Plus no ball washers. Other than that, it was great.

Love this course but might not do Sundays!

I have been here several times and usually have a great time. The course is in pretty good condition, but people need to fix their divots on the green!! This is enjoying....come on...take care of your divots people!!!
I teed up with 3 different groups this Sunday because the 2 first groups did take off after 5 holes and the next after 12th hole..lol!
I'm ok with playing alone, but it's better to play with someone! The last group caught up with me at the 14th hole and we finished together :-)
It was 3 guys and they were playing great golf, so I really enjoyed it. It made me play great and I finished up with the rest of the hole in par's. I got my best score with a 70, so my Sunday turned out great anyways :-)
I will be back :-))

Great value

I haven't played here in 30 years but when I saw the Hot Deal I decided to give it a try. Great value on a nice course that would play very fast if it wasn't for one slow group in front of us. Small course, great for practice or a quickie.

Renewed Course

I love the new golf carts. Staff was very friendly. Kinda hectic at first as it seems like there was a bunch of confusion. Which caused some delays. Pace of play was terrible. However being the holiday it’s understandable. The change of management really helped.

Average course

Great course and hole layout. Some greens need some work done, lots of ball marks. Went during The Weeknd, so would expect slow play, but course ambassador should have pushed people to keep up the pace, we couldn’t finish all 18

Much Improved

Course improvements are going in the right direction. Since replacing course management in March the course is looking so much better. Greens and fairways are much improved. The rough around the greens is also maintained. Still need to improve tree line and boundaries with weeding and removing fallen or hanging branches as this would make the course look worthy of the cost for an executive course.
