Good course for iron play

Good course to work on your iron play. Also a good course for beginners to learn the game and have fun at the same time.

Good Outing

Had to play the back nine twice due to standing water on some holes on the front. But back nine was in great shape, wasn’t crowded, all in all a fun time.

Not being well maintained

I know it’s November but this course is falling down. The greens are in terrible shape with mud cracked regions on most greens. The fairways are thinned and incapable of making a divot. Very disappointing since the course was so good this last spring. I thought it was really coming around with the new management, having a pro and upping the clubhouse to a more premium experience. But there is no excuse for letting the course degrade when all the other courses locally are lush right now. Would not recommend.

Great back 9

The back 9 was great! Played the front 9 recently but it was my first time playing the back 9.

The only issue I had is that the greens are in really bad condition on both.

Disappointed

Very slow play! Greens were not playable due to dead grass. Leaves were never cleaned. One hole it took us several minutes to find my ball due to how many leaves were on the green. So we finish the 9th hole and we thought we would make up time and the starter put a group in front of us. When I asked him what was going on, he didn’t know what to do. So $42 to play 13 holes due to bad course management is unacceptable. GPS in the carts is a good idea but I would spend the money on the course. You will get a better payback!!

Mediocre executive course

This course is all par 3 and par 4’s. Its land has potential to be a very good executive course. It is a narrow course which is fine. However it is not well kept. The tee boxes are normal rough grass cut just a wee bit shorter. Its not the worst problem to have since one can tee the ball up. The fairways are same as the tee box. I think a few fairways are better. The rough is unremarkable. The greens are the worst part. The greens are bumpy and not uniform. A bunch of greens have cracked dirt patches. So there is no way to get a true roll on a putt. The greens are extremely small. The ball often rolls off if you hit the green because of the small size and the aforementioned condition. You have to plan to hit it short onto the fairway and have it bounce on. Overall I would say I would not pay over $30 for the 18 holes. Its just a place to get some practice in.

Looks like they were trying as I saw maintenance around mowing grass and going over greens but the greens are pretty shot. They have big bare spots Im guessing a fungus of some sort. Fairways and tees were fine but not overly so. Thats about all I can think of.

Friendly and enjoyable place to play.

Staff was great. Driving range and teeing off #1 in the evening was a little tough because the course layout had us facing the sun. But minus the sun, the views are great. Course is close to the fairgrounds, so if they have a concert (which they did when we played), you’ll either enjoy it or have to deal with it. Price compared to other nearby courses for the weekend rate was fair. Overall good experience and will visit again.

Decent Course for the Money

This is a good course to get practice in with your irons. Only a handful of par 4's but mostly par 3's. It's a fun, fast course with a friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.
