About

Not much to brag about. I just love to play! Unless I fire a smooth 104. Then I love hitting 500 balls on the range and reading golf tips. I'm probably the only hack you'll see practicing punch shots on the practice range. I don't take golf too seriously anymore, I just do it for fun 3-5 times a week with my buds.

Needs some TLC

Outside of the bunkers and rough being wildly overgrown, I truly enjoyed the course. I love the lay out and the challenges the course can throw at you. It needs some work on the bunkers for certain and the rough was brutally overgrown, but still worth the price of admission. Just know going in that this isn't the Private club it was in the past and the conditions reflect that, but enjoy the course for what it is and enjoy the day.

Love it

This is one of those courses that I could play every day of the week and not get bored. I love the layout, especially the fact that every hole you need to pay attention. For example, the hidden water on 7, 8, and 11. If you've never played here before, those 3 holes can leave you scratching your head a tad after you see a splash after you thought you hit one perfect. The greens were nice and smooth and the tee boxes, greens and rough were in great shape. The bunkers, I'm not sure because I only found one on #4, but that one was nice. It's not Augusta, but it's in terrific shape. And as always, a very accommodating staff. Well worth the drive if you're not local.

What an improvement!

This course is absolutely fantastic now compared to the last time. The tees and greens were so much nicer than before. The bunkers still need help, but they are working on it. The rough and fairways were great as well. I couldn't believe how dry the course was. Usually it's a swamp after it rains, but it was relatively dry. Keep up the great work!

Phenomenal!

The course was in awesome shape. The greens were a tad on the slow side, but very puttable. The staff couldn't have been any more accomodating. I was able to zip through 18 as a single in 2:20. What a great layout, too. Fantastic job all the way around.

Great shape for November

The course was in phenomenal shape for this time of year! A bit on the wet side, but very playable. There have been a lot of improvements since I last played there and it's night and day from just a couple years ago. Keep up the great work!

Nice shape considering it just thawed out!

Love this course. It was packed and I got around in 3 hours! Is it Augusta? No. But it's a great place to knock off rust and get your swings in. The people there are so nice, too. I love it there!

What a treat!!!

A HUGE thanks for having a Hot Deal tee time for us. I was immediately impressed with the staff welcoming us and setting our clubs on the golf cart and the 5 star treatment we received. Not often do we get the chance to play a private course, so to get the member treatment was what really stood out for us. Course wise, everything was fantastic. We made our way around in under 3.25 hours. Got to speak with a few members of the club and they couldn't be any nicer, either. Hopefully we can get out there again one day.

This is a great course to go and play! Greens were excellent, fairways were nice, and the rough wasn't punishing. A great course to go play to hit every club in your bag. The course is really looking sharp. Keep up the good work!

Great all around.

I will as a rule never review a golf course in winter. It's a little unfair to judge a course that had 3 feet of snow covering it a week ago. But, this was rather nice. Greens were in terrific shape and the rest of the course was nice as well. Good job by the staff there to keep it playable this time of year.

Great course and well worth the drive.

This course was fantastic! A lot of work being done to it to make it better just be patient with it. The bunkers are a work in progress along with some spots in the fairways and tee boxes. But the really great thing about this course are the greens. Honestly they were the best greens I have seen on any course over the past few years. You can definitely tell where the maintenance money goes to. The layout of the course is like that you would see at a golf community as to where you will see that the course winds it's way through a neighborhood where it just winds around and none of the holes are really stacked on top of each other. This is a really nice course that seems to be like it's doing well and if you can pardon the dust, I think you will have a good time.

Great course!

Absolutely perfect out there. The entire staff does an amazing job and I would definitely recommend this course to anybody. The course conditions were probably the best I've seen here in quite some time. The greens were smooth and consistent. And I was able to get around in well under 3 hours. After your round, check out the bar and the grill. They do such a nice job with that as well.

Not bad. But don't trust the yardages.

I found this course to be somewhat of a challenge. You can't just bomb away at it and expect a good score. It's more or less places an emphasis on being able to hit draws and fades. And yes, there are spots that are completely burned out. But, as like many courses now that don't have a $300,000 yearly maintenance budget, it could use a good soaking. Just keep that in mind, especially if you book with the Hot Deal. The greens were perfect, however. They were some of the nicest greens I've seen all year. My only knock on the course is the yardages. It plays a lot shorter than advertised on a few holes. But other than that, the course is very nice and I absolutely would like to play there again.

Gotta hit it straight

I was very impressed with this course. Very tight and hilly. A few blind shots on some of the holes. If you have a higher handicap, this may not be a course for you. My scorecard took a beatin'. The greens were fantastic. Now that I know the layout a little bit better and have a better picture in my head of where I want shots to land, I think I'll have a better round next time. The staff there is beyond nice. Food and drinks are very reasonably priced. I do look forward to playing here again.

Perfect!

Beautiful shape for this time of year and only looks to get better. The new carts were a treat. Got a round as a threesome in about 3 hours. And a special thanks to the staff that was able to squeeze us in as we were late because of a funeral procession going all the way up Rt. 6. We really appreciate that.

Glad I got to play it!

I've been wanting to get out and play there for quite sometime. I got the Hot Deal from golfnow so I booked that and gave it a shot. The staff there is absolutely awesome. Google maps pretty much sent me to Canada so I called them to tell them I was nowhere near where I needed to be. No problem, they got me out 40 minutes after my time passed on 10 without any hangups. The course was in great shape for late November. The maintenance crews were out there cutting and fertilizing for the winter and doing some work on the bunkers. Most bunkers looked pretty nice, some are under repair, but not too shabby overall. My only suggestion is to put a sign that points you to 15. You kinda gotta drive around the neighborhood a bit, but if you're a first time player there, you may get a tour of the beautiful homes in the neighborhood while getting some ideas for your yard next year. When I came off the course, there was a gentleman there to clean my clubs and take the cart. I thought that was a great touch because I did that for a few years in Florida. Great course, great time, and I'll definitely play there again!

Great course and well worth the drive.

I had a blast. The staff there was so nice as well. It's definitely a tale of two nines out there. The front has a lot of doglegs, but if you spray your shot, it won't hurt you too bad. The back however.... you pretty much have to throw darts all the way around. #15 was my favorite. 150ish yard par 3 that is straight downhill. If you have vertigo, don't look down. 16 is the infamous z hole and it gave me no problems. But left or right and trying to get all Golden Tee can kill any chance of a good score. All around, a great course that is fun to play.

Great course!

We teed off at 11:55 and finished at 3. It was in great shape and it was great to see the maintenance crew out there repairing some of the washed out areas. The greens were smooth and quick and the rest of the course was very nice as well. Can't thank the staff out there enough for the hospitality and all of their hard work!
