Good place to get some practice holes in

It's not one of the best in our area but it is cheap and it is a good place to get practice holes in. It is longer than the other 9 hole courses in out area. There are some challenges where you have to shape the ball a bit to be in good position. Greens were not good (way too slow) but we just came off a month of the governor closing down courses so all of them in the area were bad. I plan on going here to get a quick 9 in for fun every once in a while.

Favorite local course

I love the back 9 on this course. (I hate 2 because it blows up my score at times but that's not their fault.). The course is quiet and well maintained. The greens are a bit faster than most courses in the area but they are fair and roll well. Some well placed bunkers and creeks. Prices are good. Right now they do $25 Monday's. The range is the only downfall. The range balls are old and the markers are not very accurate the machine doesn't always work.
Give it a try, you'll like it.

Nice course, the staff is great

I like this course. The holes are a bit short but the greens are small. Huge penalties for going over. (Forest or nasty thick rough behind). Elevation changes and tilted fairways are great. They are great supporters of junior golf. It is priced well. It can get a little backed up on the weekends and league night.

Trying to be more than it is

This used to be a great cheap practice course. It had long wide fairways no rough, lots of trees and it was quiet. They don't water the course at all so the greens and fairways are rock hard. They raised their prices and it's no longer worth it. It is now more expensive than high quality courses in the area like nettle creek, pine hills, heritage bluffs etc.. They also used to let juniors golf for free with a paying adult. This brought out a lot of families. They reversed that and charge $36for a junior. No other course in the area charges over 20 for a junior. I used to go regularly, I probably will not golf there again. It's now practice course with a country club rate.s
Reasturant does have good food.

Great course

Great course rates were reasonable and had an awesome time. 2 is real tough but there were a lot of deceptively challenging spots on the course. Creeks that cause you to lay up or take a big chance greens with a lot of ungulations allowing for tough pin placements, small greeeens with large bunkers up front. Quite a bit of water but a lot of it is parallel to the fairway. If you have a bad hook it is in play. It is quiet and we rarely have anyone directly behind us the whole round. Even on a nice weekend. This is surprising because it's nicer than a lot of courses in the area and it's the same price. There were houses but also lots of wildlife making the course real nice. A lot of cranes, rabbits squirrels and I even saw an eagle. This is now my favorite course in the area and I will be here regularly.
