RECOMMEND TO ALL MY GOLFING FRIENDS

The day we played was cart paths only. The rough was sticky but the fairways were perfect. The traps needed help but considering the weather we have been having we as a group adjusted, all the courses we have been playing are having trap problems. Interesting par 3's. Doglegs and blind shots know your clubs. Large greens with subtle breaks and quick. OUR GROUP WILL RETURN WITH MORE PLAYERS. PS if it is your first time in the area be patient with your GPS

I SHALL RETURN

Our group showed up on time and the tee time was available. It offered all the challenge we needed. The course has the best par threes on a public course that I have played in a long time. The traps were raked and ready for play(a rarity on most public courses). My only con is that I would have liked the greens to be a little faster.

NOT A BAD COURSE TO PLAY

I played here as a finish to my vacation. Not a bad experience, a little sand, a little water, very little rough. Pace of play was a little slow. Of course that is sometimes due to the group your following. These guys thought they were auditioning for the tour. Of course some RANGERS ON THE COURSE WOULD SLOVE THE PROBLEM. All in all I will play here again next year. Yes I would recommend playing here.

WOULD PLAY HEAR AGAIN

Played here on 2-17-15. Very windy day. Course was in good condition, greens rolled true, traps offered a challenge due to the type of sand(soft). Staff were all very friendly. Price was very right and my wife who is not a golfer rode free. Pace of play for our group was excellent (4 hrs)

PLAY IT YOU WILL LIKE IT

I play with a traveling group and this course was in better condition than many other course that cost a lot more to play. If you so desired you could play the ball down on both the fairways and in the rough. The greens are big, fast and smooth. There are not a lot of amenities it is just a family owned course thats great to play. The front none requires shot placement the back is bombers paridise. PLAY IT YOU WILL LIKE IT AND THE PRICE IS RIGHT

THE GREENS ARE BACK

Earlier in the year the course lost its greens. BUT THEY ARE BACK. Very undulating they require a moment or two before hitting the putt. 'The good thing is they were not fast. If it is your style to play the ball down you could have. They fairways, the rough and the traps were very playable. The only con was that the senior tee boxes were uneven and SMALL. Would I recommend playing it YES

MY REVIEW

Much of what the previous reviewer said was true. Pace of play stinks, staff attitude upity. Having said that the course looks like a real golf course, traps, trees, wetlands,water, many tee boxes and very large undulating greens. Have played here many times and the greens have always looked beat up, maybe a lot of play from ignorant people or maybe the need for more care. Most of the scenery consists of large homes. Price for senors on a weekday$28. Would I play here again? If scheduled on the groups play list yes if not no.

Recommeded

My group plays this course often. So my review may be tainted. We travel 3 times a week so we see many different courses, This course isn't Augusta but its easy to get to, it offers just enough challenge to make you think. It has water, sand, trees, rough, and very playable greens. The value is great and it offers everything that similar courses charge much more to play. The grill rooms food is great ( I brought my wife here for dinner). WOULD ABSOLUTELY RECOMMED THIS COURSE TO ANYBODY IN THE AREA OR TRAVELING THROUGH.

Traveling group played here first time for me. By unanimous vote will return soon. The fairways were in good shape, the traps were playable (a lot of courses have traps few are raked and playable). Just enough trees and water to make it interesting, check with th directions on the score card to hit it in the right places. Greens very large very undulating Not a boreing track. Didn't get a chance to check out the grill room (I was inthe last foursome) MAY BE OUT OF THE WAY FOR SOME. RECOMMEND IT TO BE PLAYED
