Great day at the park!

This course is well manitained, is well organized, and is a fun place to play. Its fairly wide open fairways with target greens makes it a good challenge. Recreation Park has Several practice areas for chipping and putting and a range. Staff is super friendly too!

Fun Challenging Course

My son and I had a good time. Met some great people. Course is challenging but fun. Greens are fast. The pace was slow but we had a good time.

Not worth the cost

Hadn’t played big rec in years but drive by it every week. Was really unimpressed with the layout and repetitive hole feel. Club house shuts down super early as well so if you play twilight take advantage of the on course restrooms and bring your own food/drinks. Fine for the 30-40 range but when they charge 70+ for prime weekend items it’s not worth it.

Expensive Muni Course

Staff is very professional. Course was great condition following a downpour that occurred a couple of hours before our tee time. Greens staff does a great job. Off course amenities fair; on the course nothing is offered (drink cart did come by after a couple of hours). Four & half for the round. $67 for a local muni executive course during the week is just a bit pricey.

Greens have been aerated. Still fun.

I would not recommend to my friends who are serious about their scores, greens are aerated and will be a couple weeks before it’s back at its normal self. But other than that, it’s still fun to play and practice.
