A very enjoyable course.

This house is a lot better than some of the reviews I read. More important is that the owner(s) appears to be tremendous effort to improve the place. One negative.is the cart paths and how they are marked..Some of the cart paths are in rough shape.

Well kept course with some challenging holes.

Played after heavy thunderstorms the night before so we were regulated to the cart paths. Unlike a lot of courses, these paths are smooth and well taken care of. Course drainage was great considering the amount of rain. Balls still traveled and the greens were consistent and were almost dry. Some tough water holes if you can't drive the ball. Pace was a bit slow but not outrageous.

Mainly a practice course

Really a 9 hole course that you play twice. Very inconsistent course but is good for beginners. Very forgiving. Greens are challenging and are very difficult to read, especially because some are fast, some are slow. Certain areas of the fairway play like a parking lot. Hard and ball will go where it wants. Example: Hit a drive that I was worried might go out of bound on the left side of fairway. Landed safely in then proceeded to roll all the way to the right side edge of out of bounds. Good place if you just want to get a cheap round of golf in and don't want to be rushed. Didn't see one staff person on course at all.

A very forgiven course.

Very nice course and facilities. Great course for beginners and intermediates. Very few trees and fairways are wide, so it's ideal area for golfers who sometimes slice or hooks. Lots of water areas and the sand traps were well taken cared for. Actually soft loose sand. Started play around noon and course wasn't crowded. Staff left golfers alone because there were no major back ups. Unfortunately, a lot of geese and their byproducts but that seems to be a problem currently at all courses. Also saw large turtles crossing fairways to get to a different water area.

Hidden gem

This course was far better than I expected. Very interesting layout with a lot of challenges. Course was in great shape considering how early in the season. Very similar to Berkshire Valley in many ways.

Great course for straight shooter.

Course only opened a couple of days ago but considering the winter we had, was in great shape. One downside was the tremendous amount of geese droppings all around the course. Except to lose a lot of balls if you can't drive straight off the tees. Some fairways are narrow and out of bounds are steep. Actually a very beautiful and fun course to play but wouldn't recommend to beginners or below average golfers. Ability to overcome hazards such as water, traps, and gullies is what makes this one of the best public courses around this area.

Good course with a lot of variety.

One of my favorite things about this course is that it is not a cookie cutter course where a lot of the holes look like a previous hole. Only real drawbacks were the sand traps. They were as hard as dirt and several times saw balls bounce in and then bounce out with ease and distance.

Decent Course for the money

Played this course before and it was in better condition. To be fair, considering how early in the year and how brutal the winter, the course was better than expected. Many spots were still suffering from the recent heavy downpours and were waterlogged, especially the sand traps. Carts were only allowed on the cart paths but numerous spots had none or just dead ended. Halfway thru, I wished I had just walked because it was far more difficult walking back and forth to the cart which seemed to always be on the wrong side.
