Good for the money

Good for the money. Fairways were a disaster, very poorly maintained. Some EXTREMELY challenging holes, some very basic holes. I definitely will not take the 90 minute ride to play this course again, but if I happened to be in the area I may give it another round. Definitely some great views. If the club put some money into the place it could be fantastic.

What a turnaround

Such a major turnaround, this place is nice, fun, and a great time. It was in atrocious condition several years ago, but now it looks amazing. Very confusing finding the 2nd hole but other than that is a ton of fun!

Very poor conditions

I played here back in 2004 and the conditions were very good. Decided to try it again, and was extremely disappointed. Cart had NO brakes. The front 9 was in decent condition, certainly not great, but the back 9 was an absolute mess. One green literally had a sandpit in the middle of it. The staff seemed cool, and the young lady with the beverage cart was extremely friendly, kept coming back and checking on us every couple of holes, and was extremely attentive.

PROS- Large course, with a forgiving front 9. Staff was very nice. Love the deep woods location.

CONS- Horrible greens on the back 9. Extremely narrow fairways on some of the back 9, literally 30 feet on one- not good for a novice golfer. Carts were horible and old.
