Underwhelming and slow

Overall, the course was in a mediocre state at best. Greens had been recently aerated, and it was bone dry to boot making it impossible to get a good read on the green. 10 foot putts were an impossibility. Fairways were splotchy in many areas. Couple this with an abhorrent pace of play and it makes for a rather frustrating experience. I can see where this would be a fun course when things are in good shape and folks keep things moving. Pace of play is a much bigger concern for me, and based on other reviews it seems to be a regular issue.

I’m not sure I’ll return because of the pace of play issue.

Great course to tighten up your short game

This really is a great course to sharpen your short game. If you’re looking for a technical course, this will probably not suffice. I’d say 16 holes are relatively wide open with very little in terms of danger zone. If you can hit the ball in the general direction of the hole with the general distance being right, you’ll do fine. Getting tight to the hole is what this course is great for. Grounds are maintained to a fairly high standard. For an executive course, I’ll say it’s the best in the area.

I really did enjoy playing here, and will definitely throw this into my regular cycle of courses.

I have only two gripes about this course, and they’re relatively minor. The first thing is that aesthetically the course is pretty boring. You won’t have a single “wow this is a beautiful hole” moment. Certainly not the end of the world, but a little unusual for the area. Most of the courses in the area have picturesque surroundings. My second gripe is essentially in line with the first. Due to the overall lack of “extracurricular landscaping”, you will find almost no shade. If it’s warm out, you’re going to be hot.

Great executive course

Course is in relatively good shape and is fairly technical for such a small course. We’ll definitely be back for a quick round.
