Fun Layout

Good solid layout with elevation changes and water hazards blended in with a variety of holes to make the track fun and challenging alike. Fairways offer a decently wide landing area to make it inviting to the average golfer.

Fairways are brownish and a bit thin but playable. Greens rolled smooth at a medium pace. Most greens were single tiered with modest slope.

Staff was excellent. Course isn’t worth a special trip, but definitely worth playing when in the area.

Assaulted again

I have been assaulted twice by members and non members, I am going to re-open my first assault case...and prosecute to the fullest..it's a shame that staff let's the mob mentality rule.
Do not patronize this place , or you will promote this type of action.

Great layout

This course used to be in better shape, but still not a bad track. The course used to have lightening fast greens, but they're manageable these days (still ~10). The course features many elevation changes and hosts one of the most difficult par 5's around. Good to play with a local first time out as there are some surprising holes that require local knowledge. Fairways have sort of gone down in shape, but still manageable. Overall, a very fun course to play.
