Staff was great

Even with the frost delay , we got out and played our round with no issues . The pace of play was the best I’ve had in a long time. Bar was great for drinks and food after . However, the kitchen was a little slow. Overall it was a great day.

Quick Greens

Greens were quick and in good shape, rolled true. Course was definitely still saturated, but we played lift, clean, and place.

Sloppy fairways but fast greens

Some holes had marshy fairway conditions and uneven grass. Although it had only been a week since some heavy rains, I expected the drainage to be better. We we also held up by a groundskeeper moving when we were trying to tee off. The greens were mostly really good and fast, something we didn't expect. O really a nice course but needs some attention.

Really fun course

Plenty of fun holes here, including more than one that play right into my fade. I couldn’t see the landing area more than once on my approach, but that makes it interesting sometimes.

First Time Playing

Fun course

Pace was slowish but not unbearable. Had a fun time but overall conditions were just Okay. Rocks in sand traps, rough was hard to distinguish from fringe and the mowed grass clippings were all over the fairways. Had them eat my ball a couple times and made it really hard to find them. Worth $70 though? No. Not in any world is it worth that much. That being said staff were super friendly, Megan and Hailey were great. Suggest going during the cheaper rate hours to actually get your moneys worth

Way over priced for the conditions

They just aerated the greens. The course was way overgrown. The greens were in horrible conditions and they still charged $55 to play around. When they do these kind of things, they should lower the price by a lot. Every putt roll differently.

Snack bar was closed at 3 on a Sunday! I love the course and people working there are excellent.
Maybe leave some sandwiches at the restaurant when closing for golfer purchase at the turn. Thanks

No cart and slow play!

The play was slow and had to wait 20 minutes after tee time for a cart. Therefore didn’t get in 18 holes.
Disappointing!

Great course!

If you like narrow fairways and Lester hazards this course is for you! It’s a fun course and is challenging. I totally recommend it. Also you can see the castle when you drive in.
