Bad Shape

Early in the season so can only go up from here. Course is in pretty bad shape. Each tee box has mats laid out. Lots of bare spots and flooded areas. Holes are close together so hard kind of hard to navigate and balls are all over the place. (Mind your heads) Pretty cheap to play for a quick nine but would recommend elsewhere for same cost. Club house is nicely set up clean and lots of merch avail.

Great Bang for the Buck

Staff Sam was extremely friendly and pushed a couple of twosomes together so everyone could get out before the women's league started. Its a 9 hole course that I walked in less than an hour and a half. Greens are the same as the country club across the street. Couple of long holes make up for the shorter easier ones. Clubhouse has clubs, clothes and a good selection of drinks, not much food. Over all very satisfied and will be back.

Welcoming layout

Open, not overly long, very playable fairways and rough: this is a great course for a quick, casual round. Great staff too.

West nine

The greens are always great. Hoping that one day the fairways would match the greens. From what I heard the course is a Donald Ross design.
