About

If I'm not at work I'm usually on the course playing until dark. I love to hit the challenging shot like a flop shot over a tree or a low hooking punch shot. My imagination is in overdrive when I get to hit a shot I normally don't get to try. My bread & butter is my short game and if the driver's cooperating then I usually have a short iron in.

Challenging track

What a fun test of your game! There’s some holes where you can grip it & rip it and some where it’s got to go straight down the fairway. Greens rolled slow to me and had a couple putts stop on downhill slopes to hole. Only other thing is it’s not in the GHIN database so my good round goes undocumented.

Good condition

Good condition despite being late November. Some bare spots but still played well. Greens rolled true and weren’t destroyed by ball marks. Fairways did have some debris but nothing that couldn’t be moved to play your ball. Only thing is if you want drinks and or snacks load up before hitting the first as the snack shack is closed on the back side.

Fun course

Greens rolled great and were very receptive! Fairways played firm and fast. It was windy and definitely factored into club selection.

Great track

What a fun track this was, greens rolled great and we’re just the right speed. Some tight holes so accuracy off the tee is needed. Ball sat nicely on the fairways and the rough wasn’t very bad to play from.

Fun tough track

First time and what a blast. Of course I picked a day of 20 mph winds and that was a hoot. Definitely plays harder with the wind up. Greens rolled great till I got to 12 from there on they were covered in buds, pine cones and tree debris. Fairways were hard and provided great roll out. Greens were slightly inconsistent with speed. Would definitely play again, hopefully with a little less wind.

Great greens

Second time in a week here! I came back because the greens roll absolutely wonderful! Fairways are in good shape also. Played in the rain today and course held up well. Great place to practice 3 wood & long irons off the tee.

Pleasantly surprised

What a great track just tucked away between the city streets. The course was lush and manicured nicely. Nice practice range and putting green. Biggest thing I can say is make sure you play to every pin due to the vastness of the greens. You could easily 3 putt if you’re on the wrong side. Speaking of greens, they rolled fantastic! Quick and true and hold nicely when playing approach shots. Rough isn’t too bad and the fairways were great. If I had to find any negatives it would have to be the driveway into the parking lot but then I’d be nitpicking. If I lived closer I’d be here everyday!

Fun

Really liked the layout of the course. Had some bunkers that could of used some tlc as well as some spots on the fairways. Greens were almost back from being punched but still rolled well. Practice area was decent and all right by the clubhouse which was nice. I will say that the Christmas music playing on the speakers made me laugh at the unexpectedness of it. Would go back again.

Decent track

Ground was hard and gave shots extra yardage from a good bounce and rollout. Lots of hardpan and brown spots throughout the course. Greens rolled fast & true.

Holy shot maker

Fun track if you can work the ball! Every tee shot can be approached in different ways. If you like to think your way around a course this place is for you! Course was in good shape except for the bunkers which all play as GUR due to the rain. Greens were slow for my liking but rolled true. Errant tee shots will cost you at least a stroke if not more. Will definitely play again!

Tee boxes

The course was in great shape which was expected with the tournament approaching. My only complaint would be the tee boxes. I played the blue tees which weren’t marked very well on most holes. Other than that it was fun to play as the stands & suites were under construction. Would play again!

Great course even better staff

The layout of the course is good and the conditions are great. My biggest compliment goes to the staff. The ranger (on a Thursday) was on top of a 4some who was 2 groups ahead of us and 35 minutes behind the group in front of them. It was so bad there were 8 carts either playing or waiting behind them on one hole. He pushed them and kept in touch with us so we didn't get to upset over the pace.

Below the hole is the way to go

What a great manicured course. Fairways were a pleasure to hit from and the rough didn't penalize to much. The courses main defense are the greens! They're almost unplayable from above the hole. You must keep the ball on the below the hole and in the right area of the green. I'd play it again now knowing this.

Cool track

The course itself is a nice track, fairways are excellent to hit from. The greens were a bit bumpy and some of the tee boxes were beat up. Overall the layout was good and played well. My one gripe, lack of a ranger! We pulled up to the group in front of us at the turn as a 3 some to their 4 some and they hadn't finished teeing off. Needless to say we waited every shot for this group and even pulled up to tee boxes before they were gone for the whole backside. Had there been a ranger the problem would of been fixed. They have a range and it looked like indoor hitting bays as well but I didn't use it but it was busy.

Great track

Very cool course with some tricky layouts. There's some sort of trouble on most holes so keeping it in the fairways is ideal. Get I'd size greens that were receptive to well hit shots. 18 holes took just over 4 1/2 hours with nobody in front of us.

Not what I expected

I didn't realize that it was a short course, 6188 from the back tees with a par of 71. The layout is very open and realitivly flat. There's a few tee boxes elevated but that's about it. Fun little course with very fast greens that roll true. Practice facilities are good with range, putting green and separate chipping green.
