Great way to spend the day

Staff was very friendly and made us feel welcomed. Layout is a little long for a city course. 400+ yards is too long for par 4s. Par 3s are long too. Fairways were thin on grass. Green were great. True and consistent. Cart person was easy to be found. Friendly and hard working. I will be back but please work on keeping the pace of play in your thoughts

Nice simple course

Wide fairways, no bush , no lost balls …all means pace of play was good…3.5 hours to play. Greens were bumpy but had been over seeded recently.

Pace of play was under 4 hrs and it was packed. Nice layout with some tough holes and fast greens. Played as a single and paired with a great group of other players. Really enjoyable day. Great muni course that I would definately play again.

Great Course

Course was great. Nice visuals throughout course. In a nice neighbourhood, scenic backdrop of city skyscrapers, palm trees and water features. Has driving range, restaurant and proshop. Course is flat and walkable. Greens for me were a little tricky. A little faster than average, and has undulations but putts didnt really break that much on that day. THere are a few holes that have doglegs. My only concern was there were a few holes which had tee boxes were located closely behind greens so someone playing behind you could hit into your group if they over hit the green. Par 3 seemed to be a little long for people who golf the forward tees.....about 150yd.. Enjoyed playing this course.
