Fun but cart pricing is sketchy

I had a blast but they charged me 20 dollars per person to rent a cart which felt a little predatory. We payed for the round and the cart already seats two golfers so why charge for my playing partner?

Much improved

I like to play Vanny once or twice a year out of nostalgia. That said, coming out of winter it is in great shape despite the weather. Time you play is probably the biggest factor to enjoy your self. Play at a non-busy time and its a lot of fun.

Old Vanny

This course is in need of severe repair. the greens have gotten faster but the fairways and rough around the green need plenty of work. the cart paths are full with potholes and the course maintenance has fallen off significantly. I love the course because it's by home. If I had to travel here I would rather play somewhere else.

This Course is so addictive.

The layout is so beautiful, I actually dubbed this my favorite golf course I've ever played. It may not be major championship caliber, but the whole course gives you a feel very similar to one.

Winter golf 10/10

Played here on Presidents Day with my brother and father. Course was well kept and the greens were maintained well for off-season. If you are looking to get out and play during the off season this is the place to be.
