Nice affordable course

Short but challenging course that is well maintained. Limited hazards make it a great course for beginners.

Interesting greens

Course is a little quirky in that you have power lines dotting the course and a plethora of doglegs. The greens, however, are large, quick, and undulating. The first time playing the course can be frustrating but it does provide a good risk/ reward challenge.
While not as polished as some of the more expensive courses (MSU West, Hawk Hollow, College Fields) it will test your shot-making skills, especially in your second shots to the greens.
P.S.: Do not go long on holes #1, #4, #7, #13.

Great golf for the money

Nice course, fairways were pretty hard but mostly because no rain for a long time. Pretty wide open fairways ion majority of the holes, so that’s nice. Not not super long and some challenging greens and pin placements. Good course for a beginner, as you shouldn’t lose too many balls!

Great value for a local course with a driving range, putting green and a chipping green. They are repairing some damages on the back with a temp green on 14 and some fairway repairs on 16. Course is pretty well maintained other-wise with a little better movement of the tee markers needed.
There are holes you can pound away and holes you need to be far more precise in order to score. Greens were in great condition, golfers fix their marks!
Will play there twice more this week!

A day of being stolen from

The reason I posted this as a 5 Star , is so that it went straight to the top of the review board for people to notice.

I don’t think I’ve ever had more of an unwelcome experience all the years I’ve played golf as I did today, after booking a round of Golf Now with a price of $40 for 18 holes and a cart. My son accompanied me today, who has “Youth On Course pass”. So this price is five dollars for a round of golf for kids, and $10 if a cart is involved with an adult. So that price should have been $55, somewhere somehow, which took at least 10 minutes for the shop attendant to actually come up with how much it was going to cost. I was absolutely astonished that the price was $75. I asked as to how much and why this is $35 more, and he said oh well you know riding in the cart is $19 and 2 drinks was $35.00 ?????which is he violated the agreement with youth on course. The shop worker acted as if he was angry that we were we had booked through GolfNow, and I felt like I was deceived at this point. After questioning the attendant on cost, he spoke to us as if his authority was being questioned, as if ! . Right?!!!
I taken back as to his tone , thinking to my self “are you serious ?!! “ He spoke to us was in a very disrespectful manner because the [cost] questioned !!

So I went ahead and I paid the $75, and right from the beginning when we got our cart, it was filthy , seats was stained and dirty. As well as smelling bad. The carts are frankly old, Unkept,outdated and rode teriably bad !! We were treated poorly, however The time with my son was more important .

From the Teebox down the fairway to the green, I found that it wasn’t very appealing to the eye. I found that mowing everything the same length would make sense for someone , however nearly every single hole looked looked like it was brush hogged the same length. No scapping lines of fairway, to approach landing, to the fringe to the green were apparently unrecognizable for its importance. The greens were a 6 out of 10 , and seemed to be decently cared for.
The amenities at the turn were needed. My son and I were hungry, so we ordered two hotdogs, and 2 energy drinks for $24, after paying this and TIPPING HER, I was told that there is $4 more dollars still more in tax that she did not ring up. This tax was in fact $1.44, not $4.00.

So we continued the rest of the round, it troubled me a great deal, that a 2nd time I felt like a second now I was manipulated, deceived, and lied to about costs at this golf course. And it really seems to me like there is a tie between the assistant in the pro shop, and the assistant in the club house.
So I feel like I was stolen from, mistreated, my son spoken to disrespectfully after going back from the 1st tee to the pro shop to get a score card. He was roughly spoken to and asked what his age was ( which is 16) he is a licensed driver and great young man.
Most of all , which troubled me the entire round , we were not even greeted as guest with any class what so ever, to be stolen from by employees t the very least was disheartening.

This course is over priced, overrated , under maintained and employees who have been employed steal from customers. Even after tipping them.

If I am ever asked by someone about this course, I will say they should watch How you are charged for being there.

I spent $105 dollars today ( HOW ???)only to feel like I was completely mistreated, deceived and ripped off!!

You will never see me there again !!
