Nice Course for the money!

I’ve played many courses in the area, and this is definitely one I’ll be back to. I’m giving it 4 stars on conditions because it had a lot of standing water (to be fair, it had rained about 3 inches two days before). Staff was kind, didn’t feel rushed, I was even running behind and the marshal was very patient getting us going.

Greens could have been better, this area gets plenty of rain and sun, so it’s unacceptable to have even mediocre greens. I’d still recommend this course to people, we found a hot deal for only $27 on an afternoon round. That’s almost unbeatable these days.

Very unprofessional

Drove an hour to play and showed up 4 minutes late, they wouldn’t let us play said they were booked solid. They let the group behind us start in our spot and told us we could wait and see if a group didn’t show up on time but no guarantee. We only had 2 people in our group riding not walking.
