Great Course

This is by far one of the best public golf courses in the area and is definitely worth the drive if you do not live near the course. The course is always well maintained and in excellent condition and I’ve never had an issue with pace of play. Course layout is challenging but fair with a good balance of long and short holes. This is definitely one of my favorite places to play. The only downside is that it does tend to run on the steeper side in terms of price and the few times I’ve been it has not been extremely crowded. I am not sure if that is just coincidence or a result of the pricing, but in either case I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone who asked.

Fun Course

I have played this course several times and it is both challenging and fun. There are several tricky holes that require you to hit accurate tee shots in order to have a chance at gettin to the green. I played recently and was extremely disappointed about the condition the course was in. It was a Sunday night after 5 and we payed $27 for only 9 holes which seemed high to me but I was willing to pay in order to play. A few holes in I noticed that the greens had been aerated which was odd because it had not been mentioned to me before paying. To me this isn’t a big deal but to some it could be. In addition to the aerated greens, there were several tee boxes, fairways, and greens that were in need of major repair. On several holes the length of the grass on the tee box was as long as the rough and covered in crabgrass. On a couple of holes there were areas of dead grass filled in with sand. I have no issues with the course in these conditions other than the price was not reflective of the conditions. I enjoy playing here but it was certainly disappointing to see the less than standard condition of the course.

Course is Good, Staff was Rude

I live nearby and play this course frequently as it’s one of the nicer ones around. I typically have no issues, however, today I had two separate issues with staff members. The starter was extremely rude when asking me what my name was and what my start time was. I have actually had issues with this starter in the past as well. It’s not a great way to start the round when the starter is rude rather than friendly. The major issue came while playing the back 9. It was later in the evening and the sun had set but there was still plenty of light to finish 1-2 more holes. I was playing my second shot when a course employee came out and said that carts are due back at 815 (I hadn’t checked to see what time it was). I responded by saying “thank you sir, we will have the cart back by 815” in which he responded by saying “it’s 830, you’re 15 minutes late and need to return the cart now”. I politely asked if there was a sign that said this when I checked in because no one ever mentioned when the carts had to be returned, I just assumed that it was when it got dark. This response was rude and unprofessional in my opinion. I politely asked if a refund would be considered since I wasn’t able to finish my round (still plenty of light left) and was charged the same price as groups that teed off an hour before me. He responded by saying “no, get an earlier tee time next time”. I was absolutely shocked by this response and could not believe the how unprofessional the employee was. As I was returning my cart there was another group out still playing and he did not ask them to bring their carts in and let them continue playing. When I returned my cart I asked the employee at the table if there was any sign stating that carts had to be returned by 815 and she said that there was not. I was very upset that I had been told by the other gentleman that there was a sign when there was indeed no sign. While the course was in great condition and I love playing here, I have had several issues with the staff and I do not see myself coming back to play anytime soon.

Great course for the price

This course is a GREAT value for the price. Course is in terrific condition and has some really unique and funky holes which make things interesting. My only complaint is that there was no marshal to keep the pace of play moving along. We were in a two some and somehow were playing behind a group of 6 which was really slowing things down. I had played the day before and had issues with pace of play as well. This is my only complaint, otherwise it’s a great course.
