Great value

Staff is great! 25 bucks for 18 and wheels is tough to beat. Passing thru on the way back to Michigan and played this track. Front 9 is pretty wide open. Fairways are hard pan, but the greens are in great shape! Back 9 is in pretty darn good shape. Very fun and interesting layout. Totally recommend!!!

Had a great time!

The front 9 was a little tightly packed but the back 9 is what makes this course special.

Budget Gem

Great job getting this golf course back open and really nice, back nine layout. One of the best in the area, especially for the price. Can’t wait for the back to mature.

A tale of two 9's

The extremely nice guy in the office was right: its a tale of two 9's. The front 9 was a very unimaginative, old-school meadow course which was generally in good shape and had decent greens & traps...I shot well. I then asked the guy in front of me at the 10th tee box, 'where are the hills?' Well, he retorts, the back 9 has a bunch, and he was right. Wow, was it challenging, especially the 12th hole. Again, the course was generally in good shape, although a few greens were a little iffy. The back 9 kicked my a--, but a good kicking. Oh yeah, the staff could not have been nicer and the beer was only $3.00. Party!

Fun course

Always enjoy playing here. The sand traps are a little crusty. Maybe the heat
