Good for the money

For first timers clubhouse is out behind the back left of the parking lot, over the bridge, and around the maintenance shed. Need a few more signs I was lost and ended up Having to follow someone in a cart to find the clubhouse. Highlight of this course is the people that work here. I’ve played golf up and down the east cost and this place has the best staff and the clubhouse is nice for a city course. The course is your average city course. Greens and bunkers in good shape, some of the fairways have some hard dead places but overall it’s good. Also one of the better layouts for a city courses. Great value and will be back.

This course could use some work.

Could have been time of year (early spring), but greens needed cutting and fairways needed seeding. I would have to rate this course as poor.

Nice practice course. Tee boxes are little rough but the greens are in great condition. Don't hit into sand trap because they are filled with water. Good course for walking if your into that.

Good intermediate golf course

Nicely laid out intermediate golf course, that still presents its challenges. A few narrowing fairways and some blind tee shots keeps you on your toes. It was a little wet out there when I went, so some of the bunkers had some water in them, but the greens were in great condition and rolled smooth. You could tell if it was dry out there those greens would be real fast. Look forward to playing it again.

Great for the money

For a $34 Saturday morning tee time, this course was great. Green we’re a bit soft but clean kept well. Fairways needed a little bit more work but we’re wonderful to hit of of. Bunch of turns and doglegs made it more challenging. One of the better courses I’ve played at as a high school golf player.

Not worth the $40 more like $20

The tee boxes were in poor condition. Fairways were not maintained. Greens were good and the ball rolled nicely. I do not recommend you play this course unless it is under $20 or Free.

Hi, we are very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced at the course. Our goal is to keep the pace of play running smoothly and to never have it too backed up. As far as the raincheck goes, sounds like you prepaid for a Hot Deal on GolfNow. When this is the case, no money is paid to the pro-shop so there is no money that is owed back from the course. You may have booked other course times through GolfNow and that is why you were able to obtain a raincheck. If you call GolfNow, they would be happy to rectify the situation. We hope this clears any confusion up and we hope you give us another try in the future.

Fun Little Course

Great little course for the average golfer.
Enjoyed playing many times, but it will be a while before I go back.
LEAVES! LEAVES! LEAVES and more LEAVES. Hole 1,2 and 3 they did a great job blowing the leaves off the fairway and into the rough. From hole 4 on it was terrible. They did have someone blowing the leaves off hole 8.
I know I lost probably 20 balls with 10 being LOST IN THE FAIRWAY?
With all the leaves you just could not find your ball.
I know it’s an ongoing problem, and their were leaves blowing off the trees As I played but it did not make for an enjoyable round.
