Do not go

Staff overbooks course, is rude, and the pace of play is unbearable. Guy in the pro shop said 6.5 hours is to be expected for a public course…. It’s only ~ 6k yards so should certainly be less than that. All around terrible.

Rapidly improving!

They've invested time and money in to the condition of the course over the last year and it's gone from the worst course I've ever played, to one that's now very enjoyable. Pace of play was good (3 hours for a 3some) and the staff are very friendly.

Overbooked

Delayed 30 minutes from our tee time due to no carts available. Also, having tee times every 7 minutes took us 5 hours to complete 18 holes because it was so backed up. Inquired about a rain check and they refused. Never coming back.

This is way over rated it’s a solid 2 stars

Range doesn’t open til 10….greens are comical with slopes at times the fairway is left to grow at least an inch and a half in height….no cart girl….tee times aren’t staggered enough to allow for proper pace of play. Course design is from 1917 and you’ll find yourself in the weirdest scenarios (everything is incredibly tight ..I.e tee boxes to green location and cart paths to greens and fences etc.. This course is worth 30bucks if you can stand it.
