Nice bang for the buck

Some really neat holes on this course with some nice elevation changes too. Fairways and greens are in consistently nice shape. During periods of heavy ran this course can get overly saturated and soggy in low areas. My real gripe is the bunkers, some of them need some serious attention. Some were completely absent of any actual sand and were just raked dirt. Other than that, you can find some great deals online. Even their regular prices are fair and you get free lunch with it too.

Absolutely love this golf course!

My only gripe is that I don't live closer! Absolutely gorgeous course in excellent condition. Easily one of the best courses in the area and you can get on for cheap using online tee time discounters. Definitely not for high handicappers, there are some pretty open fairways but most of the course is lined with dense forest. Clubhouse seems a little lacking for how nice the course is, but that's a very minor flaw in my opinion. Although I didn't make use of it, the practice facility looks very nice as well.

No push carts, really?

It's an average public course with a nice layout. However, at almost $50 for a weekday round its well overpriced for the area (in the middle of nowhere.) So I figured I'd walk instead for $27, but then the starter tells me they don't allow push carts! Sounds to me like some elitist garbage. If you're going to overcharge and have a country club attitude you need to have the course to back it up.

Short, Boring, Overpriced

The yardages may say otherwise, but this course plays very short. A few holes feel smashed together. The conditions are usually ok, but for the price I'd rather play just about an other course in the area.

Great consistency

This course is consistently in great shape. Year after year, I always know what I'm getting when I play here. There are some nice long holes that require a longer than average second shot. It has a very open layout with very few hazards but it's still not an easy course to shoot low on.

Great Muni!

I'm in a league at this course and it's in the greatest shape it's been in years. Moderate to challenging course layout with some water hazards, narrow fairways, and minor elevation changes; but also has some wide open holes for the higher handicaps.

Average course with an above average price

Course is usually in pretty good shape. The layout is a little on the dull side with pretty open fairways on most holes. The price doesn't match the experience, but because it's close and I can sometimes get on at a discount, it's worth playing.

Best layout, poor pace

Probably my favorite course to play in the area simply because of the layout. My only complaint is the pace of play, 5+ hours is unacceptable.
