Take a Pass at Any Cost

Booked a late afternoon tee time (3:20) and when we checked in were told we were playing behind an outing. The entire experience was a waste of time and money. The course looked like a battlefield (does anyone own a divot tool anymore?), the pace of play was beyond ridiculous (7 players on the green at a time), and there was not a ranger to be found. If you are thinking about playing this course and find a great deal, take a pass, even at $20 dollars a round you’ll be disappointed. It’s a real dog track!

Very Nice Course

This course will present a challenge for golfers of any level. When I played it was a bit wet, but still it great condition (including the bunkers). It is a little more expensive than most public courses, but if you find a deal, play this course, you'll love it!

A Hackers Paradise

For such a nice setting, this course is terrible. The fairways (when you can differentiate them from the rough) are hacked up, the greens are drying out and chewed up (maybe beyond repair??), and the rough is cut so if you hit into it you can pretty much forget about that ball and move on.
The pace of play here is awful. For a slope of 107 there is just no excuse for a 4 1/2 hour round, unbelievable!
I would not recommend this course to anyone that takes the game seriously...it's too depressing to see a course in this condition...not to mention; it takes away from your game.

Pace of play makes this an easy one to pass on

If you enjoy hanging out, drinking beer and making a 5-6 hour day of your golf game , this course is for you! You'll find the course in fair to poor condition, but playable. The pace of play for anyone that takes the game seriously is more than outrageous. Players etiquette on this course is non-existent. This course has become a hackers paradise. I play this one from time to time simply because of location, but will seek any other course if at all possible.

A Great Golf Experience

A relatively challenging course that is well maintained. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. For the deal offered, this course is a must play.

A quick 9

This course has 3 par 4's and 6 par 3's, all of which do not present any particularly difficult challenge. If you are looking to get in a quick 9, this course suits just fine.

Great course for the $

This is a great course for the money. Not too challenging, but some water and bunkers do come into play. A couple par five's that you can take advantage of for birdie. I will play this course a lot more next season.

Nice little 9 hole course

Get 9 in anytime on this great little course. It's pretty flat/straight, a little water/bunkers to make it a bit challenging, but not extreme. It was in very good condition when I played in October. And, the staff are more than friendly!

Nice course

Nice course, quite challenging, but some of the greens were a little rough. The staff (except for the starter) were quite dismissive.

Nice course overall

Very nice layout, but the greens needed some attention. For the money I spent, the experience was well worth it.
