My only beef is that I paid to ride but due to rain, the course did not allow riding cart and was not compensated for the difference because I bought through teetime.

Unorganized

Was pulled off the course because of the rain after two holes. No refund allowed. We were allowed to “wait” but if it wasn’t clear in 45 min we can’t golf due to a scramble outing that was starting at that time. Would not recommend due to not accommodating paying customers, paid full price for two holes.

Very nice course

Two legit par 5s even from the whites. Played in 2 1/2 hours ( maybe I played two balls OK) 3 or four cold water coolers thank you. Was in very good shape. I play it 5 or 6 times a year and it is 20 miles from my house

A nice surprise...

A really nice surprise of the course condition and layout for a 9 hole course. I didn't expect this nice of a course, fairways were cut well, good roughs, and some of the best greens I have seen in the area. Option of walking or cart but pace of play keeps up.

Good 9 hole

Fun 9 hole for good price. Can get busy on weekends, but course opens up a bit. Uphill par 3 to finish is tough if there's wind!

Course Need Work

The greens have a tremendous amount of ball marks, and the sand traps need to be raked. This is on the golfers, not the course. Very inconsiderate as far as golf etiquette. The starter tells you on the 1st hole to fix your marks but seems too many ignore the request! These issues definitely affect your play. Otherwise, great course!
