Always good golf @ The Muni

Probably the BEST 9 in the area! Usually 2 hrs. on the nose. Sometimes the pin placement on No 4 can be impossible. Most greens are in good condition and fair. Nice people and decent burgers. Patio and a beer are enjoyable.

Great except for staff

My friend and I had a 10am tee time. We arrived 5-10 minutes early. I wanted to warm up in the nets. With three minutes before 10am, the guy in the clubhouse yelled at us to get started. It really threw me, and I had a terrible round. That first hole was the worst.

A beautiful and challenging 9 holes

Where has this course been all my life? You will not find a better course layout or better conditions than this superb golf course for 9 holes and approx 2,900 yards of play. And the value is excellent as well. Look forward to returning.

Why do you show tee times when the course is closed because of the virus

Also the description is wrong

No par 5 holes but the greens were definitely difficult and the layout of the course was really nice.

GN mistake

I booked through GN. But course was closed due to holiday. It was not update in booking system. I tried to refund but I can't contact anybody in GN. Who has responsibility for this issue.
Definitely it is not course responsibility. But GN has responsibility.

Short 9 hole

The greens were ok, fairways ok. Has several holes where their creek runs right through the fairway at 175 to 225 yards.

I find this course much more interesting to play than most 9 hole courses in the area and has enough challenges to test most golfers. The course was in good shape and would recommend it highly.

Challenging course

I was very surprised how challenging this 9 hole course turned out to be. Fairly tight, well places bunkers and some water that has a few risk/reward decisions. Course is in good shape and they have a small practice area that allows you to get the tips out of your first drive.

"Full size" 9 holes was a great value

We booked a great price for 9, not really expecting much,but we're pleasantly surprised what a great value it was- full sized holes (but only9 of 'em) in great shape. Pace a tad slow , but we didn't care. Would highly recommend if you're looking to just play 9 . & on a "real" course .
