good weekday deal

$62 to ride at a well thought out and interesting layout. some challenging shots, not just driver/wedge all day. tee boxes and fairways were near perfect, but the greens were fuzzy and a number of them at some patches where the turf needed to be replaced.

Fall golf

The course was in good condition considering the rain we had. I also appreciate that they had blown off the leave making it easier to find my ball.

Overall a positive experience.

Played the south course. Course conditions were good. Greens were good, and a little easier due to their slow speed. The course does need to figure out a way to fix the eighth hole. Not being able to access the white and blue tees because of a bridge issue really changes one of the better holes on the course, and now it plays as a 240 yard par four.
The staff has always been very friendly and accommodating. I was told that the conditions on the north course were not as good, so I hope that improves for my next visit.
Many courses in our area have been greatly affected by the amount of rain we’ve had this season, so I understand the difficulty of maintaining great conditions. I would recommend playing the South course.

Excellent Course

We played the south course and was really impressed. The one problem was the starter. We were a foursome and we were followed by 2 singles and then twosomes. This is typical with a lot of courses, pair people together. Still, we had a great time and the course was in very good shape., maybe a few rough spots but that happens.

No Ranger for Pace of Play

Poor pace of play. Starter sent out twosome after foursomes who were slow and bad. No ranger on course to keep things moving. Two foursomes waiting at 10th tee box when my twosome finished 9th hole. I left because back 9 would have taken over 3 hrs and would have to wait on every hole. I usually like North Course but not today.

Shabby greens and tee boxes

The tee boxes seem to get zero maintenance and tees are apparently not moved often. Very beat up.
Some greens were decent but others were atrocious. Not mowed, fungus, bare spots.
Even allowing for the regular aggravation of falling leaves in the fall the course was in horrible shape. Does nobody take pride in their work anymore??

Good, not great.

Most of the course was in good shape, but there were a couple of areas that were banged up. Could have used some leaf blowers out there, 1 green was entirely covered in fallen leaves. I mean ALL of it. Staff was friendly.

Well worth the trip

I played both the North and South courses and had an extremely enjoyable experience. The greens rolled a little slow compared to other courses I have played but they were in great shape. The staff and starter were extremely nice and the course was in good shape even after the two week drought. . I preferred the North course over the South but both had its unique challenges. Good pace of play even with four groups of walkers ahead of us. Will definitely play again.
