Nice city course

I think of this as my home course since its about a mile from my house and i play it a couple times a week. Thanks to golfnow sometimes i'm on it for $12 for 18 with a cart. That's ridiculously cheap, how can i not go? The coarse is short but very hilly. With easy back to back par 5's in the first 3 holes and a easy par 3 right after its easy to get a great jump on the coars here. Back 9 seems much more challenging and hosts a pair of par 5's that play longer than listed. I consistently shoot 4 strokes higher on the back. Greens could be better but it gets a lot of hacks that do not know any golf etiquette so in the rare instance they actually create a divot, they don't do it often enough to know they should be fixing it. Nothing worse than a lot of municipal coarses though.

Worst coarse in the area

What can i say, go there using a golfnow discount and you will be treated like a 2nd class citizen. This place caters to the few guys standing around in pastel colors who can barely hit the ball. foursomes here have a tough time letting a single pass thru. No water in the ball cleaners is another major bummer considering how easy it would be to check those before paying customers head out for the day. Throw in all the goose droppings and i wonder why i play it at all. If you don't get the late day tee time off golfnow for $15 i'd just assume pass on golfing for the day, which i usually do if its full price.

Great course

We chose this course out of proximity to an event we were in town for. Thanks to golfnow we got a great price and a favorable tee time so we decided to go. I was super pleased with everything. Friendly staff, great choice of beverages and a pretty well kept track considering the lack of rain in the area this year. Lots of blind shots and some deep bunkers make it a really fun challenging course. Some water pictured on scorecard but for the most part no real danger. Very well kept greens, rolled fast and true and it looked like the regulars repair their divots. I'll definitely be back to this course.
