Ab review
Great public course. The conditions of the tees, fairways and greens are usually near-perfect.
The layout is challenging. You must hit all the clubs in the bag and putt well.
Nice little gem
I had played here many years ago in the winter about 4 times,yesterday was the first time I played since ,and I loved it,a very good short course that requires some specific shots ,greens very good,sand traps had rakes(that's a premium nowadays),I will definitely play here again,also I got a great price on golfnow..
Great Condition for Early Spring
Greens actually pretty fast, fairly smooth for a muni-type track. Fairways/tee boxes in good shape too but tee markers were not set up, which was odd but fine. Average pace of play. Overall great experience.
Popular for a reason
This is a very fun golf course. During the season it is packed and even in the middle of the winter it had plenty of play. Greens are in great shape for the winter. Shortish and forces your accuracy. Enjoyable.
Laughter in the rain
First time here and played in a light then heavy rain so conditions not ideal. Thought the course was in fabulous condition, interesting layout and fair greens. Behind a very slow group for first nine holes then they stopped for lunch so back nine quicker and more enjoyable. One of the Rangers was friendly, And helpful. Check in people and people around the startup and drop off were a bit surly. Explained it was our first time and they were a little “cold”.. and it was not over crowded. However, will go back next

Great Track, Pace of Play an Issue
This golf course is in excellent condition and offers many challenging holes. I feel it is on par with most private golf courses in the northeast. My only complaint is the pace of play, 5+ hrs on a Thursday morning. Message to management, reduce the number of players per hour. I am going to give it one more try next Tuesday.
Outstanding Golf Course - Pace of Play is a Problem
This golf course is a Gem. Conditions are outstanding, greens are in excellent shape. My only gripe is the pace of play 5hrs 10 min. Played on a Monday at 1:20 PM had to wait on every shot. It's a shame, the 1st time I played the course it took 3hrs 40 min. Message to management with 2 rangers on the golf course this should not happen.
Terribly slow
Thursday morning 9:30 tee off. Quit after 9 holes at 12:30. After 3rd hole (50 min!), I asked the ranger how long the round would take. He was on his cell phone chatting away - never took his phone from his ear and just waved his hand gesturing, "I have no idea." Terrible.
course is good condition
Bring my kid with me since nobody can share cart unless in same household, but they are asking him to stay in the cart no matter what, otherwise we will be asked to leave immediately, This is ridiculous.
Nice course, good condition.
First time playing this course and was very impressed. The layout is very tight with all the holes right on top of each other so be prepared for wayward shots to come near you. Course is very well maintained and greens were in great shape. Would recommend to anyone to try at least once.
Driving Range Danger
The danger from balls flying over the net at the range is absolutely ridiculous and negligent. There need to be more employees watching to make sure they’re not endangering other people’s lives. Management, you clearly make more than enough money so do a better job. And just saying play at your own risk isn’t good enough.
