You deserve better

Staff is rude. Messed up the tee time. Yelled at me because he didn’t do his super hard job less than an hour ago. Fairways are tore up. Greens are tore up. Tee boxes… tore up. Bathrooms are even dirty. For the money go somewhere else. This is one of at least 6 other nicer and sometimes cheaper courses within a 30 minute radius. People I’ve talked to say they’re not renewing their memberships because of their dissatisfaction all the way up to the GM. You deserve better.

Reasonable Price

The cart path could use an upgrade and drainage could improved.

Don't go after it's rained. Course was like walking through a swamp all over. Some fairways had at least 4 inches of standing water.

Has potential

I was very disappointed with this course. The tee boxes were almost all beat up. It actually has a very nice layout and the potential to be an enjoyable course but needs some TLC. Some the holes did not have signs to confirm that you are the right hole. Again, needs some taking care of and could be a very enjoyable course.
