Ok layout but good condition very old course

Nice conditions and friendly staff. Wide open fairways not very picturesque with older run down houses. Look around and you’ll find better. But still a nice course and well maintained.

Very nice

GolfNow find and a very nice course. Would certainly play again. It’s an older course and does show its age in spots, but overall is well maintained (if not quite excellent), and the greens are superb. The layout was fun and there is room to miss w/o being a cakewalk👍

Just Ok

Bunkers need work. Fairways need cutting. They need rangers to keep things moving. Lots of non golfers out here.

Unfriendly Staff

Our foursome finished 18 in under 4hrs and the staff kept hounding us about pace of play. When we informed them that no one was behind us and we were actually waiting on the group in front of us they made the excuse that they didn’t have any golf carts. Overall a bad experience due to the rude staff. Would recommend playing another course.

Over priced

No driving range- hit into a net, pick up your own balls for short wedge area, and tee box ground so hard you break your tees putting tee in. No GPS on carts. Wild not recommend this course, at any price

Paid 105 to play here. Not a bad course, but way overpriced for what it is. I would pay max 60 to play here. So many other better courses in this area to play for the same price levels.

A decent muni

This is an enjoyable course. Very easy to make a time and not very busy. I think that’s because their regular rate is too high for the type of course and its condition. There are other better courses in around the area for the same price. If they charged a more reasonable rate they would surely fill the times.
