No bathrooms!!

Bathroom only in the building. Can’t bring golf carts to the car. Can’t bring golf carts on the course. Rodents mounds everywhere on the green.

Can't book course online

Course doesn't let a single book online, so listing it on Golf Now is pretty worthless.

Windy weather
Used cart

My only complaint is that there were numerous marshy areas in the fairways and some on the greens. We took free drops from those spots.

A fun course

The pace was pretty slow, and I wish the course ranger would’ve addressed those things, but the course itself was very nice, and the people are very friendly. Had a great time and can’t wait to do it again.

One for 2023

An overcast day with some sunny days. The course was on the wet side but that is typical for the course at this time of the year. Cart path only. Greens were in great condition. Amazingly fast. Good day!
