Nice day in DE

Greens in great shape, tee boxes a bit rough, fairways decent. Surprisingly pretty good layout, but not overly tough holes. Good spot for a beginner, saw multiple families.. didn't feel too stressed though later in the day some better players definitely pushed the pace of play. Great value.. slight step up from some local Munis, staff were all friendly. Would come back.

Terrific course for the price.

Fast, firm greens. Tee boxes are pretty rough in some places but overall the course is in great shape. Friendly staff overall just a great value.

Had a big problem the day we played. They had a scramble. Looked like a foursome on all 18 holes. We played 9 holes and took 3 hours. We left after 9 holes. Should never had tee times that day.
