Great Course

First time playing this course and it was in fantastic shape. The person in the pro shop gave me some pointers on a few of the holes which were much needed. Greens were quick and had a good deal of slope. Fairways and green were in great shape, the rough was rough. Will play again.

Worth the trip and the money

I traveled to play this course over 75 miles and was not disappointed. From the pro shop to the starter to the 18th green, I thoroughly enjoyed this course and definitely plan to return with friends!

Great layout, needs a little work

Always enjoy playing here, it’s an interesting layout. Staff was friendly and pace of play was decent. We did notice that most tee boxes were in poor condition, not much grass and a lot of slipping. Greens should be better in a week or two.

Staff

Clubhouse worker when I was checking in needed to make sure he told me I should not have been able to book a early morning tee time on golf now. Bad experience

Excellent course, my first below 80

Enjoyed playing, on the green without any mulligans for the first time given the pace of play was just right. Beautiful day.

Pleasant Day

Course is in very good shape for mid-April, greens are great and rolled true. Large chipping/putting area right near #1. Several tee boxes needed a little love but I could see there was fertilizer/seed down. Only knock is that there are several holes that run very close to houses so even a slightly errant tee shot or a skull of the iron/wedge could result in your ball ending up in someone's backyard. Overall a fun course and one I look forward to playing again.
