Good course

My only complaint was the leaves & I would suggest a 2nd set of tees with the same green & I think it would make a good course even better

Fun course and great staff!

Starter was exceptional and bar staff on 19th hole great as well. Fun course and in much better shape than last time I played it years ago. Not from the area so don’t get to play this often but I’d play it again.

GRASS WAS CUT VERY WELL NO LOSING BALLS WAS NOT A PROBLEM ALTHOUGH WE HIT THE FAIRWAY ALMOST EVERY TIME

WHAT I CAME ACROSS AT ANOTHER 9 HOLE COURSE WAS DOUBLE TEES SO FIRST NINE YOU PLAYED OPFF ONE TEE THEN THE SECOND 9 WAS DIFFERENT TEE BUT SAME FAIRWAY AND HOLE-MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO CONSIDER SINCE ADDING 9 DIFFERENT TEES WOULD NOT BE A BIG EXPENSE BUT WOULD BE BETTER FOR THE GOLFERS

Rough

The traps are 85% weeds. T boxes are largely clover as are much of the fairways. Greens are patchy. What is truly remarkable is the scorecard. The par values for each hole don’t add up to the printed total par for the course - they add up to 75, not 73. Whats more, playing the back tees on the front involves a 295 yard par 3. But the clubhouse/ restaurant is nicely remodeled!

Could be better

Very dry fairways don’t water. Sand traps are the worst I’ve seen ever on a course some don’t even exist sonar it’s weeds. Very slow play hopefully this course can fix things up.

Not The Bourne

I didn’t realize it was only a 9 hole course or that it was closed for 4 years. I wouldn’t have booked 18 had I realized it’s only 9.

Good value

Good value for your money. This is a 9 hole course that is very golfer friendly to beginners. Fairways wide open with little to no hazards. Water only comes in play once. There are sand bunkers but not much sand in them. Greens are OK.

If your new to golf and just learning great course or if you want to work on you irons perfect place. We were not rushed and played at our own pace. Will go back

Great food!

The fact that this course was closed for several years and they are working on getting it back into shape, has to be taken into consideration. The fairways are nice, tee boxes are good. The greens still need some work though. Give it some time and I'm sure it will be a beautiful course again.
