Don’t waste your time here

First off my wife wanted out of the house so I told her she could come to the course with me and just ride in the cart. The course charged me 10 dollars extra ( with all this corona virus stuff) then proceeded to be smart about it. I told them I’ve never had a course do that then the staff said we had to pay 6 grand for these carts how else we suppose to pay for them? I’ve never had that happen!
The course is a total dump and it’s not near worth the 30 bucks a rd they charge. The yards around the course have greener grass than the course itself. It’s another course not well maintained.
I had 2 foursomes in front of me getting wasted drunk, screaming a yelling constantly. No golf etiquette by the staff or players here. . I could be wrong but from the rudeness of everyone at the place I’ll never go back there.

Great staff and great round.

As dry as it has been the course is in great shape. My friend's shoe fell apart on the 8th hole. We played the 9th and went to the clubhouse to see if we could get a rain check for later. The guys in the clubhouse were great. They gave us a rain check for 9 holes. I love playing this course, and the staff is always excellent. Thanks guys.

A quirky layout but considering the drought the greens were in great shape. Always fun to play.

Excellent Value for a Weekend Play

Course is in very good shape - greens excellent; fairways very good; rough a little spotty. The course has all you need to warm up, practice and play an enjoyable round. No traps, but enough water and trees to make it reasonably challenging. The 19th hole is there for after golf enjoyment.

Course is always improving and challenging

Love playing this course for the challenger. Staff are very friendly and always offer assistance with any issues you might have or need. Look forward to playing again in 2020 and see if i can tame this course.

Another great experience!

Same comments as last time! Great experience, friendly staff, great price and good course. Contemplating buying a membership here. If they end up with a couples league it will be a no brainer.

Good layout, terrible conditions

Nice layout, lots of quirky holes but good test of different shot types. Terrible conditions. Greens not bad. Eververything else terrible. We have had horrible weather over the past few months, excessive rain followed immediately by very hot weather. Many areas washed out, and many others needing to be mowed. This used to be one of the best golf courses in the area, but I can't recommend it in its current condition. Too bad, nice people and good little restaurant.

Frustrating Day at a Great Course

837 Tee time with a foursome of decent golfers and it took 6 hours to play 18 holes. Too many people on the course and no one managing the pace of play. Too many groups using the course like a practice range. Each hole for the back 9 was a minimum of 20 minutes at each tee box and subsequent shots. Love to play this course given the value and great staff but it’s days like today that make me never want to come back.

Always a great day.

We have had a lot of rain lately. Most of the holes had standing water on the fairways. There is nothing the staff can do about this. The greens are in great shape. The staff is always very friendly and accommodating. The only issue I had was that I called the day before to see if there was a tourney or league playing in the morning. The answer was no, it was just a regular day. As we left the parking lot a group 16 or so went to hole #1 to start their Tuesday morning scramble. The fella at the clubhouse let us start on #10. I was just a little annoyed that I had called and asked about anything like this starting in the morning. Still my favorite area course.

Poor drainage

Nice course with a challenging layout and was fun to play. Recent change in an attempt to improve drainage have backfired. Play was allowed even when 7 of 18 holes were swamped
