Slooooow

Way to slow. They send people off too close together. I would hesitate to play it again because it's more than an hour too much time.

Good course

I’ve played many many rounds here…

Pros
-Great course for the $$
-Conditions are typically good. Fairways groomed, roughs kept in check, nice tee boxes, good green complexes, nice sand, etc.
-Enjoyable course design. You will use all the clubs in your bag.
-Outdoor plumbing with restrooms on multiple holes (this is huge for lady golfers)
-Above average practice facilities, including range and putting/chipping green
-Nice golf carts

Cons
-Pace of play can be slow at times. Plan accordingly during peak times.
-Lacks “up north” feeling. It’s built throughout a subdivision, albeit a nice one. Not a problem for me but some people want the up north feeling with elevation changes and tree lined fairways. This isn’t one of those courses. (As a side note, the subdivision houses often create wind tunnels that create predictable wind direction conditions on many holes. Because of this, most of the holes often play down wind, especially the front 9, which can be fun once you catch on to these patterns)

And more recently…
They lost their liquor license (as of this review on 4-10-23) This might not matter to the sober golfer but I certainly enjoy throwing back a cold one while playing. I’m sure they are working to get this back as it’s a huge revenue loss, but it’s worth mentioning as a short term negative. Plan accordingly.

All in all, I enjoy this course. I’ve been playing here for years and I play here multiple times every year.

Great course

Some of the purest greens in the area. Course is tough but you can still score. Probably one of the better deals in the area.

Went Down Hill

I've played here before and it was always nicely maintained and lively. This time we went on a packed Saturday afternoon and it was a shell of the course it used to be.

The sign is dilapidated first off. Bag boys were just hanging out on their phones sitting in carts. No help offered before or after the round. No liquor license and the kitchen was closed. Last time I played here they had the BBQ going and food available and ready on the turn. Now, a convenience store hot dog turner and bags of chips. 5 dollar dogs and 3.50 single serving bags of chips.

The ranger we talked to was nice but the golf pro inside was less then enthused to be there. Signs everywhere stating that there are no rainchecks LOL. Like golfers want to see that posted everywhere. Even the ranger said that the policy was driving business away and that golfers were mad about that.

Tee boxes were all tore up and the greens were the same. Bunkers horrible, haven't been maintained all season it seems.

Just a shell of a course it used to be. Not sure if it's new owners or what, but they need to make a big change and fast. If I were a house owner around the course I'd be mad.

Take your money somewhere else.

Good Day

The course was in very good shape for this time of year. The greens rolled nicely even though they had the aerations on them. Piece of clay was a little over 4 hours. Me and my playing Partners did put out a little fire off to the left of the 16th Green in the woods.

Decent course

Decent course with friendly bar tender. Pro shop offers little to no amenities. Maybe 4-5 different shirts with water and pop not much else. Staff is there but not exceptional. You would expect more for a golf club community.
