Not bad, not amazing

Standard 4 star golf course, good not great conditions and layout. I was first player off at 7:30 and when I got to hole 11 they sent a shotgun scramble off all over the course without telling me and I got stuck in the middle of it. Luckily it seemed to all be members and they were nice enough to let me play through but didn’t appreciate not being told and having groups come out of nowhere and being stuck in the middle of it.

Amazing Views, weird but fun course

For a hot deal rate of $28, it was a good value (anything over $35 would be too much). Most of the tee boxes and quite a few greens were burnt out, but with the drought this summer I don’t really blame them, have heard it’s in good shape during normal summers. Short, quirky course, only used my driver twice, need to hit a lot of irons and 3 woods off the tees due to blind shots and sharp turns.
Honestly if it wasn’t for the amazing views of the surrounding area this would just be another average course that I wouldn’t drive too but the views are simply stunning. Bring a camera and play this course at least once.

Great Value

The actual course itself is very nice, not very long but still a nice layout with great conditions. Greens weren't exactly fast but they were smooth and well maintained. The main building is old and run down, there's an abandoned pool with weeds growing all around, and the pro shop was small and kind of dirty. If you ignore all that, for the price they are charging (especially in the fall) I would very much recommend this course! Went on a Monday afternoon and paid $20 for 18 with a cart and had the course to myself and played in 2 hours.

Nothing spectacular

Only played 4 holes before rain came in and we got washed out. Greens were nice and quick, fairways and rough were a bit burnt out, bunkers were all raked nice. Best part of the course is the nice carts with the GPS systems....
Told the guy inside we only played 4 holes, instead of getting a rain check for all 18 he gave us the value "minus the holes we played". We payed $32, only got rain check for $24, so will have to pay additional $8 when we come back.

Overall, from the 4-5 holes we saw, pretty decent for $32. Wouldn't pay the $40 or $48 on weekend.

Not bad for $39.

Greens were smooth but not very fast. Fairways and tee boxes were average. Sand traps had nice sand but had some rocks and also had weeds growing around the edges and corners which looked terrible, little more care for this course and it could be a really nice course. Until that happens it's still just a good enough course. $39 twilight rate is fair.

Will be back

Greens were very smooth but a little bit slow.. Some odd holes, feels like your hitting down hill to a lot of greens.. Lot of holes you don't need to hit driver. Overall, a nice, short, tight course. Will be back again

Unique setup, conditions need more attention

9 Hole Course Par 34. Played the white tees as the front and Blue tees as the back. Some holes are ridiculously short - 400 yard Par 5, 87 yard Par 3 downhill. Course was fairly easy, I'm about a 14 handicap and I shot 73 (+5). It was a pretty unique setup but the conditions could use some attention, some fairways were almost like rough. Greens rolled pretty well though.

Course has potential but needs some work.

Some greens were slow and some were medium speed. Played the North then the West course. Layout was nice, but conditions were inconsistent. Some sand traps were nicely raked and soft, others were rock hard and had grass growing in the sand trap. I know the area has had a ton of rain this year, but some spots you couldn't even walk in the fairway without getting your shoes soaked. Overall, not a bad course, but by no means was great. Would only go again if there was a good deal.
