Challenging hidden gem

Following the contour of the land creates several sloped fairways and shoots that require planning. I was without any course knowledge and it cost about 3 strokes on thr round hitting the wrong side on Fairways and getting stuck behind fairway trees for approach. I joined three regulars for an enjoyable front nine.
Greens were good with some rough fairway in places. Thos course will challenge you. I'll be back.

Great course. Don't miss it

Really good shape. Greens just right for amateur play. Follows ther lay of the land for interesting layout and challenges. Course knowledge may gain a couple of strokes. Going back next week.
Worth the drive from other end of LBL.
This was unexpected from a State Park and staff was very nicer Thank goodness it's like playing golf again with ball washers and no cup limiters and WATER to drink on thr course.

Nice course

This course was in pretty good shape with only a few greens still a little rough. A short course set up for public play with no rough and escape areas for almost all errant shots. You will find then and can hot then. Great for lots of levels of play. Drone 2 of the short par 4s and risk reward on others.
For a fun round on a we'll maintained track, play this course.

Nice playable interesting course

Is a combination of early design and recent 9 addition it is fun to play the front line where they have placed sand and grass bunkers in strategic spots using dog legs to complicate some shots.
When you get to the back 9, you get to play the old course which clearly follows the lay of the land. There are lots of ponds and small lakes on the course but they seldom come into play.
It doesn't matter if you get on from a long iron approach or a tricky wedge shot, you have some neu interesting greens to deal with.
I look forward to playing here again.

Come herr for your short game

Everyone was very pleasant and the course fairways were in very good conditions.
Several of the greens must still be recovering from weather issues. They will surely be great in another month.
Don't get bored when you play the front 9 because the back 9 is much better and very much more interesting.

Nice winter golf

Surprising course conditions for 1st week of January. Greens were fine and rolled pretty good.
Fairly easy to find balls despite some leaves.
Layout is pretty straight forward, you could see the flag from almost every tee.
Would probably be an easy course in warmer weather but played challenging in winter.
I'll play here again in spring.

Rough, challenging, crazy layout

It was my first time and they connected me with another golfer to play (actually insisted so only one cart was used which makes sense ). From the start it was clear that maintenance, course upkeep and mowing must be a challenge for this group. Tee boxes are as long as the roughs and really rough grasses. Don't think about looking
for a golf ball in the deep rough, just drop.another pill and go on. The course uses doglega and water hazards to make it quite challenging especially for a first time player.
If you are looking for a manicured golf course experience, this isn't for you. If you just want a round of golf at a fair price and a unique experience, play here.

Course knowledge makes a big difference

For early in the year this course was in pretty good shape. The surprising part about the course it's so many blind tee shots and without knowing the course you can be way off base. You need someone who has played the course before or you'll enjoy it more the second time. The course is challenging due to the layout but long-ball hitters can certainly take advantage of shortcuts. I look forward to playing this course again and should drop two or three Strokes next round. A good course to play.

Last chance to play here

Fun easy course. Closing in about 6 weeks. Last minute pricing is a bargain.
Of course there are some rough spots but they still mow Abe the greens are fast and interesting.
Play here just to say goodbye.

Nice cold weather golf

The course was in great shape for this time of the year
Even though it was a 50 degree day the staff was still up beat and provided that extra service that made the round fun.
I hope there are a few more warm days this winter to enjoy the course again.

Limited to White Course

It is difficult to rate a course when we were told to only play the white due to an event on the other two. Would have been great to know before we got there. Well, the starter was great and allowed us to play 5 holes on the red loop after the event cleared out at 5:20pm.
So, this course has some interesting holes that were challenging primarily due to effective layout and some cross fairway hazards. Pretty course right now but greens had just been aerated and sand topped so greens will improve.
Some tough par threes and several simple par fours. Overall, challenging from blue tees.
We had fun in the end and will go back. Thanks to the starter for helping out.

Easy play, well kept, learn obstacles

I liked this course and played well. Big mistakes possible if you don't check hazard distances. Long balls make all part 5 reachable in 2. Couple of really pretty holes. Good course maintenance.

Nice course, good condition, good value

Second time on this course and course knowledge masks a big difference. Drive in the creek on number two and significant water hazard on number 9 are two examples of knowing the course. Due to a washed out cart path, one par four is really short. Another with the barn is driveable. don't be fooled into trying to go for it.
Fun to play. Good condition.

What a nice surprise

It had rained all morning and decided to try this course out just as the rain stopped in the early afternoon. What fun. No one else in front of me and the curse was in nice shape, This has been great grass growing weather. Nice to ply on real leaf grasses instead of a;; the Bermuda type carpet. The layout is shortened on a couple of holes to protect traffic in the area so the course may seem a little short but the sharp doglegs and strategically placed hazards make it challenging and interesting. This is a gem in the middle of packed suburbia. Great facilities and good eats too.

Great shape Interesting course

This was a course I I never expected to play and it was a real treat.
there was a tournament in the morning on one course so I played the Ambassador first and Presidential second both courses we're interesting and required course knowledge and shot placement I hope to play these again next time I'm in town
There were several crews working on planting flowers around the course and the place really looks good.

Great shape Interesting course

This course is great to come back to and play again. The front nine is a nice golf layout with no surprises to prepare you for the back nine. Tricky par four played with the same club off the tee and into the elevated green. A tough and very long par three right before a true risk reward closing 18th. Challenging and fun. You'll do better the second time you play.

Looks great this year

Two years ago this course was in rough shape so it was a pleasant surprise to find excellent fairways and greens in good shape.
The course layout is challenging and requires real course management to avoid a blowup hole that can ruin your round. I look forward to playing several more round this season
