Funky holes

It's your average municipal course. It's fairly flat on the front nine, a little more up and down on the back. The greens are very undulated, some holes borderline gimmicky.
17th and 18th are my least favorite. They are both severe dog leg holes, where you are forced to lay up short then long shot into the greens. You get one glimpse of the water from the clubhouse. That's it for the view.
For $36 Golf Now special, it's just ok.

Nice and easy

Beautiful weather, friendly staff, nicely maintained.
The course itself is nice and fairly easy.
I was looking for a course where my daughter and I can get 18 in for some practice, Golf Now special at $39, can't beat that price for that area.

This is what is wrong with golf

I played here at least 5 times. Every time it's slow going. Often got stuck behind foursome of old guys playing slow. Come on people, there is no shame in letting faster players play thru!!! We constantly pushed them but they wouldn't let us play through. The bunkers were full of water even though it hasn't rain in four days. There was no water cooler in the front nine. I won't be back here unless I am desperate.

Overrated

Good:
Generous fairways for t-balls. Greens were good for this time of the year. Fairly well maintained.

Bad:
The guy in the pro shop was unfriendly. Not the first time either.
Very slow pace of play. It's just golf, move on!

Only play this course if you don't have to pay full fee.

A Must-play in the Fall

My buddy and I played this course 3-4 times per year. Nice Layout. There are a few holes with elevation. Great view! Good condition. We like to go here in the Fall for the colors also. The back nine is more scenic than the front.
It has rained the night before so the course was extremely wet. Cart path only. We walked. Pace of play was a little too long, but for a Sunday morning, it was to be expected. The ranger was active and friendly. The clubhouse is better than average.

May 2016 Update

Under new management? First, the course: for May, the greens were excellent. Course was in very good shape for early in the season.
The thing that stood out was the staff. The new starter was genuinely friendly and helpful. The kid in the pro shop was also friendly.
Kudos!!!

Great Layout and challenging.

Great layout, at least Lakeside and Woodlands. Played there back in middle of May, the greens was in bad shape. If they improve on the greens this would have been my favorite course in the area.
