Nice course

Beautiful course and nice layout. Greens were a little bumpy from what looked like a recent aeration.

What a shame

This course has gone so far downhill in the last 5-7 years. Used to be beautiful and well manicured. Now it is a junky, torn up expensive county course. 4 holes were under repair so we had to tee off or putt on fairways. No discounted rate given for this which is unacceptable. Bad experience and I won't be back.

Major decline in quality

This course has really declined in the last 5 years. The greens were awful, fairways and tee boxes were bad and there were 4 temporary greens. All for nearly $70 for non- resident with cart. This is a $40 course at best as-is. I was extremely disappointed and I won’t be back.

Maintenance Day.... but......

Tee boxes were in really bad shape. Fairways were marginally better. Greens were OK. We had to play 10-18 twice because it’s “maintenance day” although there wasn’t much maintenance going on. This course has deteriorated a lot over that last several years. Not surprised it was totally empty.

Always a good experience

The course is always well maintained and this was no exception. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for. The bar/grille is also very good for a beer and a burger afterwards.

Great course

What a course for the money. Water and bunkers for those who need a challenge. Greens are true and tee boxes are immaculate. Worth the trip.

My favorite public course

I'm happy to drive an hour to play here. It looks like a country club, but is open to the public. The conditions are always great and the pace is decent (4.5 hours). Plenty of water, sand and trees to challenge you, but not so difficult where you won't want to come back. Bar and grille was also very nice afterwards.

Short course but very nice

For $40 w/cart per person on a holiday, you just can't beat it. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all nicely manicured. Some parts of the rough need some attention, but overall, a very nice place to play for my skill level (I shoot mid-90's). Pace of play was good, although take note there are a lot of walkers which could slow things down on a crowded day. No driving range but they have a net you can use to warm up and a nice little putting green and a chipping area. Definitely worth the 30 minute drive for me to play there.

Nice course but with some attitude

This is a very nice course for the money. I booked through GolfNow at a discounted rate. It is extremely well maintained even in late October. Only gripe is one of the Rangers has a serious attitude problem. Made a condescending off-color comment over something very minor.
