Perfect Round

The course was in great shape, and the course layout is a fair test, with tees to accommodate any skill level. The greens rolled very well. The staff was welcoming and very friendly, something lacking at many golf courses these days. Some courses treat the players as if they are paying you, and not the other way around. We had an awesome experience on a great course!

Slow slow slow

Why would a course accept booking tee times when the course is hosting a ladies tournament? At times we had 3 groups on a tee. Nearly 3 hours on the front 9. Just tell me you’re having a tournament and I’ll come out some other day. Not the staff’s fault, as they were understanding and gave us a rain check for the back.

Not what it used to be

Course has gone downhill over the last few years. Rough was way to long, spent way to much time looking for my golf balls instead of enjoying the game.

Nice layout, friendly staff, WORST PUNCHED GREENS EVER

Was real excited to play this course. Read the GN reviews that greens were punched. Asked Mgt , and they said Greens were punched 2 weeks ago, and there should be no problem now. What they didn’t say was, They didn’t fill the holes with enough sand, or watered the greens to allow the holes to soak up the water.. Balls bounced everywhere. If you happen to hit the gir, there was no guarantee the ball would stay on the green. Forget about putting.
As for the course, great looking rolling hills type of track.
Highly recommend playing this when holes fill in. At this time,. not now. Go to cherry blossom.

Fool me once

CALL BEFORE YOU BOOK

This is a nice links course and, I'm sure it would be awesome when the greens are in great shape but not fun when they are being punched.

Challenging Link Course

Long fairways with all types of bunkers. The Senior PGA played here. Greens are challenging and every hole is challenging.

Great Course

It was a brutal links type day on the course with stiff winds wrecking havoc, but the course itself is in great shape. Loved the layout and while the greens were somewhat tricky, the ball would run true. Not your typical public course greens. Definitely looking forward to playing this course again (and again).
