Pleasant surprise

1st time playing here. We had played in Ocean City the previous couple of days and needed a place to play on Friday. We took a 45 minute drive not knowing what to expect.

What a nice course for a cheap price! Really fun course layout with good conditions. The greens were very consistent and nice. They have recovered from aeration very nicely. Large driving range and a putting green. No short game area but not a big deal.

Fairways were nice - Bermuda grass I believe.
Tee boxes were good.

Basic amenities in clubhouse. No cart girl on course.

Overall, very good day of golf on a nice golf course. I definitely would play here again.

Thank you.

One of the best courses around for the money

Great course. Can get a tee time on golf now for under $20. If you find a better deal please let me know. Only complaint is the guy cutting the grass doesn’t get out of your way. Have to play around him. Will definitely go back.

Good for the price

Hot Deal price on Golf Now was cheap. The course was in pretty good shape, even after a large storm passed through the night before. Play was a little slow today but the course was busy.

A hidden gem of a course. This course was designed by the same designer as Eagles Landing
Fairways were in good shape, as well as the greens. They were rolled and a 7/8 out of 10. . Course was maintained well. You’ve got to play it

Great round

Was able to join a party of 3. They made me feel like I was part of their group. Nice breeze and a lot of sun. Greens had been aerated. But still played good. I enjoyed my day. Any day on a golf course is great day.

Long but fun

This course I always find long but it is challenging and fun. Greens were just starting to come out of the aeration stage and were still a little bumpy but puttable. My wife noted where there are pathways to all the men’s tee boxes but not so when you get to the red tees. Probably needs to be looked at at some point. We both had fun though. This course seems to be a bird sanctuary for some reason. The number of seagulls and geese were incredible particularly on 4 , 5 and 6. May want to post a resident dog on guard duty!

Impressive

Hats off to the supervisor and the people under him the greens rolled nicely and the fairways and rough were cut just right for a public course last year the rough was too high at many other courses usually not at this one and this course is even better than last year very pleased
