Novice Review

One of my first rounds, so novice perspective

Good for beginners - no crazy holes

Attractive course

Outside of fairways need mowing - even per veteran golfer I paired with

Sweet Par 3!

Great greens and layout. Challenging and fun for all. There are some great opportunities to rip your driver, but you must be precise!
Bring your own snacks because there is no cart service.

Hard to beat this for value and fun

Course gives you different looks each hole, some elevation. Greens are consistent and fairly easy & predictable. Conditions are very good. Great value for time and money

Love this course

I'm an intermediate player so love the executive layout. Always well maintained, some bare spots around different holes. Have been here many times, love your midday rate specials, will see you again!

Control who tees off and when

Starter came out to say we could go when ready. Starter can't see first tee and doesn't announce pairings.

He came out at 1:17. Our Tee time was 1:29. We could see 2 groups stacked up on Two. We waited until the last group was hitting

We still caught them by the 4th.

Stalled around as the group behind us was very slow. Caught them again on 10 and again on 14 despite.

It took nearly 4 hours but we played two bonus holes during dead time
