With courses charging pre-Covid rates again and bookings filling up for the weekend way in advance, some friends and I decided to give this course a shot for the first time.

Tricky layout with lots of water that doesn’t suit a beginner’s play very well. Pace wasn’t bad but did run into a few slower groups towards the end of our round. Course conditions are very hit or miss. Front nine was solid, and all the greens were clean but slow. Definitely some instances of over-watering or poor drainage on the back nine as fairway grass was either overgrown or had lots of dead spots. Was hard to find grass on 2/3s of the tee boxes.

Overall, the course isn’t bad if you need a last minute spot on the weekend for cheap, but I’d still rather spend the extra 20/30$ to play something that doesn’t have gimmicky holes and poor conditions.

Can’t expect a ton when you pay $28 for 18 with a card on a beautiful Friday afternoon in September. Course is showing a lot of wear after a long summer of play. Greens are completely baked or dead in some areas, tee boxes either looked like the driving range or needed to be mowed badly, and fairways were alright but in some areas it was tough to distinguish between rough and the short stuff. Overall not bad for the price, but not the best round I’ve played in the past few weeks by far.

Not the most visually appealing course in the Ozarks but overall solid golf for the money. Shot well for the first time playing it. Even the lengths from the tips give average golfers a chance to score low.
