Best overall 9-hole course I’ve played…..

Very, very nice course to play for a 70+ yr old player like myself. The trick here is to stay away from the traps!! The creek water crossings can be challenging to your second shot. The only negative for my round was the inattentive care of the greens by foursomes playing in front of me. Soft cleat scuff marks and lack of ball mark repair was prevalent on most every green. I will often be back to play this challenging course!!!

Overpriced!!!!!

The staff, course and even the riding cart were all a huge negative for my round. On top of all that it is ridiculous that to use a riding cart, the cost of playing a 9 hole county course, of this quality, is $35. They actually list that as a “Hot Deal” on the Golf Now site.

What are you guys thinking!! Give us golfers a break!!!

Pin placements are ridiculous for windy leaf infested greens. I proxied six greens and didn’t have a two putt or less all day. Ridiculous pin placement for days were the wind blows leaves continuously in ones path to the hole, diverting putts. Plus, it slows.down pace of play!
Give us golfers a break on these fall days when putting is hard enough with leaf obstruction.
Five pin placements on sloped parts of the green is frustrating enough under perfect conditions, but on a wind swept day like today it’s a downright STUPID move for both pace of play and scoring fairness.
We’re not PGA players!!! Just regular golfers looking for a greenskeeper with common sense!!
