What a great place to discover golf!

This was a fabulous place to play and the staff made me feel super welcome! The course was in great shape for this time of year. The golf cart track was a little rough but I figure that will be addressed by spring 22. Thanks again folks!!!

Much better than reviews

I read a lot of reviews about this course condition and still decided to play it because there weren't a lot of last minute tee times available. This course was a lot better than I expected. It was in great condition for being mid October and I love the layout. For the value this is one of the better public courses I thought in the area. I was disappointed there was not a driving range to warm up but as far as the look of the course and the friendliness of the staff I think it's a pretty great value.

Some of the most challenging fairways I’ve played but super fun if you can place the ball. Greens were great! Definitely will come back for the same HotDeal rate.

Don't Play

The only thing in good shape there is the greens. Everything else from the pavement to tee boxes and the "150 yard max" driving range was in a state of disrepair. Sad. Course was probably really nice years ago.

Great design…poor maintenance

Booked this 4.4 google rated course while camping nearby. Loved the design of the course, a lack of signage made it a little difficult to always know where you were. Clubhouse staff friendly. But the actual course maintenance was horrible.
Some tee boxes were only mowed with just one strip, fairways and first cut were too tall, even though some were cut that morning as we played, the fringes were covered in lumpy thatch, sand traps were hard (which was helpful), and many of the greens were over sanded and sloooow. Included photo is fairway grass.

Bad shape

Horrible cart paths
The cut of grass is poor in many locations
The water in ponds is awful and nothing but algae
It’s worth $20 to play 18… would pay the normal price again
The pro shop customer service wasn’t great either

Players have great golf etiquette

Just my brother and I played. To be honest I thought we were in for a five hour round. There were a scramble ahead of us some five to a team. But they let us play through. Got done 3 and half hours plus that was cart path only. The golf course what I read is improving in condition and I igree with that. Al in all good condition. Have some long holes and challenging. Especially with the blind shorts and uneven lies. Balnced off with some short par fours. If you have not played the course drive ahead and spot your next landing spot. Yes I would like to play again since I know it better.
