Fairways and Greens

We have golfed here for years and course management has invested in new sand for the sand traps, fairways and greens are in great shape. The course is in great shape!

Avoid

The course has seen better days. Management is horrendous. I've had better experiences at the DMV. Rude, unhelpful and arrogant staff. Most packed course I have ever seen. Worst pace of play I've ever seen. 4-some after foursome, up to 4 foursomes on each hole. Head pro had the nerve to say that they were only 4 minutes behind schedule. I guess their pace of place is 6+ hours. After playing 71 courses in the past year, this was the first time I have ever walked off the course. Will not return.

Rude Staff

The Marshall was working the front and treated us like we’re dumb. I don’t understand why the staff is always rude. They seem to enjoy yelling at people for getting a beer at the turn.
Their driving range closes randomly so good luck planning to practice.

Nice course, range needs work

The range balls were terrible, felt like hitting rocks.
Beautiful setting. Fairways were in ok shape. Sand traps need more rakes available, only 1 rake for each trap, even the huge ones.
Greens were in excellent condition. Course has some challenging holes requiring smart play.
Overall a good value for the money.
