Played On 10/09/2014Staff's unfriendly attitude
My partner and I played using a GolfNow "Hot Deal", with a Thursday 10:18 tee time. Arrived an hour early to warm up on their practice range. However, the free range balls promised by the GolfNow confirmation were denied. Attendant said something about GolfNow not being willing to remove the part about range balls being included in the deal. So we putted on the practice green for awhile, but seeing no other players arriving to play I politely asked the attendant if we could go ahead and start play. He gruffly said no, that he would give us a 10-minute call when it was time. He seemed to clearly resent us playing on the deeply discounted green fee, and was going to make us adhere strictly to the terms of the deal, even though there would clearly be no inconvenience to anyone with us going ahead. This course is owned and operated by the First Tee program, primarily for the benefit of the youth of the community. But we were playing mid-morning on a school day when there obviously were no kids around, just a few seniors like ourselves. You would think the course would appreciate any revenue they could get and not begrudge those playing with the GolfNow discount, but that was definitely not so. We will not be going back.

Played On 07/10/2014This is a hidden gem.
Started play mid-day just as the morning players (mostly members, I think) were finishing, and we almost had the course to ourselves. It was in great condition, greens and fairways were immaculate. Too bad more people don't drive out to take advantage of this place.
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!
