Great time

The male that checked us in was super friendly and let us know the course layout and some pointers.

Course is narrow but makes you be more disciplined.

Drove around 1.5 hrs will definitely be back!

Unexpectedly wet

Possibly irrigation head problems but it's was oddly wet in areas but other than that it was very playable and greens were slick and rolled great. But due to the wetness on some they had alot of foot prints around the cup but hey, public course alot of play you will have that. People inside were friendly and the locals out golfing were as well. The price was fantastic for a weekend and all in all I had a great time and always have coming here.

PERFECT AFTERNOON AWAY WITH FRIENDS

Shady oaks It was very nice to play at on Monday Memorial Day. The staff was extremely friendly and very accommodating. Everything actually was just about perfect except the winds. Thank Goodness though, it was warm out and the winds made it tolerable. We had a great time with friends.
