good value for the money

Greens are full but slow, however this is a course designed for learning so that is to be expected. Would be nice if they could use the red white and blue flags to indicate front middle and back but I understand if they can not. Good place to work on the short game and chipping however because of the slow greens not for putting for the more advanced golfer.

Great Par 3 course

Very pretty course tucked back in the woods. We had a early Sun. Morning tee time and hardly anyone was there. The three-some in front of us was the only other group we saw. Nice staff. Let us out early because no one else was around.

Good course to play with the kids.

Played 9 with the kids. Course was in good shape. Fun course to play with kids because there are very few hazards and most of the holes are pretty short.

Thus course was dissappointing

I booked a tee time through Golf Now seeing the yardage was 2900 yards. In all actuality this course is 1200. When we got there the first tee was backed up and we didn't start golfing until 15 minutes after our tee time. After 2 hours on the course we finally made it through the 6th hole and waked off as we had only played 30 minutes of actual golf. This is an excellent starter course or one to go to if you want to work on your short game but that is it. The staff was friendly and the facility looked nice so that is good.

Good course for the price and location

If it had not been for the teenagers not repairing their divots in the fairway this course would have been in a lot better shape. Finished 9holes in just under an hour. For a city course it was better than good, and I would play it again and recommend it to friends working on their short games.

Very solid Par 3 Course with Nice Range

Title says it all, not much else needed for an executive course. Its in great shape with decent scenic coverage for a city course. The driving range is nice and has grass stalls.

What a great round of golf!!

This was a family outing with players from 14 years to 75 years and the course provided all the golf fun one could have. The greens were in top, mid season condition. The club house guys were very friendly and helpfu.

Good Practice Facility

Good course to practice irons and wedges. Leave your woods and long irons at home unless you plan to use them on the driving range.
Course does not drain well, though, there is plenty of evidence that they are working on the problem. Greens are soft and slow but have enough contour to be good for practice.
Practice Range and Training area are better than most. "Clubhouse" leaves a bit to be desired, though.
Location could make it desirable for a nude golf outing.
