Surprising fast green

I have played this course more than 50 times. I never experienced such fast greens. The greens are fabulous and very good. The falling leaves made it very difficult to find the ball if you don't hit the fairway.

Danger Zones Abound

Many areas where balls are hit into adjoining holes. Dangerous spots all over...

Find Another Course

I feel ripped off after paying to play this course. Completely overpaid for an under managed course where you’re constantly hitting into narrow fairways with other groups fairways close by. Everything is so smushed together that one errant shot that can hit anybody. Do yourself and your wallet a favor and go elsewhere.

Review

- Very disorganized. Groups did not know when to tee off
- Waited an extra 15 min because there were no carts available
- Groups were put out with no spacing. Group of 10 on one hole.
- Course layout very tight with not many trees lining the holes. Felt very unsafe. Too many balls flying into other holes. Carts crossed over to other holes with no regard to group teeing off

Love this dog track

Far from a great track but pretty well maintained and pace of play is generally decent. Good value and for some reason generally join up with good people. Gotta keep your head on a swivel with fairways running parallel but thats part of the appeal.

This course was solid but management/organization was questionable

We had a great time but unfortunately had to wait 1 hour for our carts/tee time that we had booked ahead of time with no offer of compensation or service from the staff. Course was overall solid

Unfriendly Staff; No Accommodations

Played here in a twosome last year on a slightly rainy day and regretted it from from start to finish. We were rudely greeted by two guys in the janky PTO shop who appeared inconvenienced to help us check in because they were sitting down watching golf. We were told no carts allowed, so we walked: no big deal. Course was in rough shape and I could tell we got what we paid for (around $30) ea. Anyways, making the turn after 9, the rains disappeared and it got hot, so I swung by the pro shop to get something to drink. What a wild thought?! Soda machines And coolers outside were locked up and didn’t even look plugged in. I asked the young guy inside; he said “ sorry the manager just left and he has the key to unlock them”. Okay so I asked if they had any other drinks available or a water fountain; “no we don’t”. Zero support or advice. I ended up having to buy an overpriced, logoed Plastic squirt water bottle in the pro shop for $12, so the young bum could go back to the sink in the pro shop office and fill it with tap water. Guess what, they stopped taking cash, and could only process it by cc. Ohh, it gets better: that have a $15 cc minimum so that cheap water bottle and tap water ended up costing me like $15.81 with tax. Waste of money and time, and effort. Terrible place with unaccommodating staff.

RUDE AND DISHONEST STAFF, LOUSY COURSE, HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!

I WOULD GIVE IT ZERO STARS IF I COULD! RUDE AND DISHONEST STAFF, LOUSY COURSE, HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! OTHER THAN THAT, GREAT. SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS:
I MUST PREFACE THIS BY SAYING FOR A FEW YEARS I PLAYED HERE EVERY WEEK. MANAGEMENT AND STAFF WERE WONDERFUL. CHANGED MANAGEMENT, PRICES WENT UP, SERVICE WAY DOWN. BOOKED IT FOR OLD TIMES SAKE. PREPAID TEE TIME. I KNEW I WAS IN TROUBLE WHEN I WENT IN, AND SAID I HAD A TEE TIME, AND THE GUY SAID "TODAY?" WHEN I GOT THERE, THEY TRIED TO PUT ME IN A CART WITH SOMEONE I DIN'T KNOW. I REFUSED, AS PER SOCIAL DISTANCING RULES. DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE COURSE WAS EMPTY (WONDER WHY), AND THEIR WERE MANY CARTS AVAILABLE, THEY TRIED TO TACK ON EXTRA FEES FOR A SINGLE RIDER CART! DURING A PANDEMIC! WHATEVER YOU FEEL ABOUT COVID, AT THE VERY LEAST THIS WAS HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND AN ATTEMPT AT GOUGING A CUSTOMER. I WALKED OUT AND WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN.

They were almost 2 hours behind. Every hole you had to wait our tee time was at 12:20 and we didn’t finish because of how long you waited each hole. Great course nice workers but they should let people know before charging 66 dollars to play 11 holes.
