Challenging but Fair

Great layout requiring thoughtful shot making instead of just bombing away as many courses are now. Stay below the hole and don't short side yourself or looking at a guaranteed 3 putt.

Better Options Around.

Course very wet, more s than others in area. Fairways thin and greens bumpy. Good pace of play and friendly staff. Just better options in area for price.

Great Value for a Well Maintained Course

Course was very well maintained and a great value at $35 on TeeOff. Decent practice facility. Fairways, greens and bunkers in good shape although greens on the slow side. Nice tee selections for all levels of ability and age. Wife particularly found the tees very lady friendly.Good amount of bunkers and hazards requiring some precision on shots but not too penal. Fairways fairly wide and approaches provide some bailout.
Course well designed so players of all abilties can enjoy.

Great Layout. Awful Greens

One of the better course layouts you'll find anywhere. Tee to 10 yards from the greens course was well conditioned. Some tees a little bare but nothing impacting play. Many elevated tees so course plays less than yardage. Lots of strategically placed bunkers requiring both well played tee and approach shots. Lots of variety in holes makes for an interesting round. Could do without the tree in the middle of the 17th fairway. Now to the disappointing part. Collars to greens and bunkers were spotty patches of hard dirt and scraggly rough. Was anywhere from 5 to 20 feet wide making approach shots luck of the draw. Balls bouncing left, right, long or stopping dead depending on landing. Impossible to control chip shots. Worst I've seen on any course, much less on one of this reputed quality. Greens also below standard. Pace of play unbearably slow taking 5+ hours to complete round. No course ranger. Pro Shop attributed conditions to drought earlier in summer. If that's the case full disclosure should be made so one can decide for themselves if worth the $100 standard rate. At most a $40-50 course with these conditions.

Pace of Play Unbearable

Great layout and very challenging requiring precision shot making. Greens excellent running quick and true. Fairways a little beaten up from lots of play and golfers not replacing divots or using sand. Pace of play is what ruined the round. Five and 1/4 hours is unacceptable. Group ahead was hitting multiple balls off tee. We would wait for green to clear, hit up and putt out and get to the next tee and they hadn't finished teeing off. Ranger was useless and just shrugged like there was nothing he could do. Too bad. Would love to play course regularly but not worth the aggravation.

Course in Poor Condition

Greens in terrible condition. Like putting on bad asphalt. Bumpy with lots of bare spots. Tees just as bad with fairways marginally better. Rough nothing but hard dirt in many places. Pace of play not bad on front nine but back nine a different story since Starter was squeezing groups in on #10 between groups coming off #9. By 11th hole backed up two groups. Took almost 3 hours to play back nine. Staff not friendly. Much better places to play for money paid.

I have played this course many times over the past two years. I think the course is better than this review indicates.

Conditions were terrible and staff unfriendly. A waste of a beautifully designed course. Fairways were brown and hadn't been watered in some time. Greens were among the slowest ever played. Pace of play was very slow with the round taking 5 1/2 hours. Ranger must be related to someone because he didn't have a clue. We were waiting 5-10 minutes between each shot and he comes up to us on the 15th tee and tells us to pick up the pace. What a shame because the course design is first rate. With some competent management the course would do very well.
