Good course, in need of attention

The course is good overall, but it is showing signs of being beat up. Lots of bare spots, fairways are like a washboard, lots of rocks and bare spots, greens are good. It probably gets a lot of play and no one seems fix divots.

The course is in good condition. The greens ,the tee boxes and the fairways are well manicured. The layout of the course is pretty especially the back nine. The hilliness of the course make it more challegelng but fun. Certainly worth the money.

Great Course, but use some signage

We drove many miles to play. It was worth the drive. Course is in a wonderful setting. We were paired with another twosome that was pleasant to golf with. The fairways are wide and there are a reasonable number of hazards. The only trouble is navigating the course. They should hand out a map to those that rarely play the course.

Worth the Drive

Very playable but your shoes will get wet for the next week or two. Greens and traps are in good shape, fairways are pick, clean and place mostly. Carts are day to day so check the Facebook page or call. Can’t believe people walk the back nine, front is mostly level. A challenging layout with almost no blind shots.

Great local course

They have already started all of their off season maintenance so the course wasn’t in primo shape but it’s a lot of fun and a nice calm quite course to play during the week. I really enjoyed playing here.

The back nine is definitely more challenging with blind shots and dog legs but it was perfect for the shorter yardage course set up.

I loved it.

How to run a tee sheet

Arrive at course expecting a frost delay was told by Randy that my time is gone due to frost. So a frost delay isn’t a delay it’s frost elimination? What kind of backwards crap is that? If that how you are going to run a tee sheet like this then at least call me to tell me this instead of wasting my time. You guys absolutely failed at generating the most revenue which is the overall point correct? Brian I would love to hear to your response to this madness. This review is strictly based on the customer service I received by Randy.. Will never waste my time or anyone else’s on this place no matter the “value”.
