Inexpensive

Although the rates are fair, the course doesn’t drain well resulting in just average conditions. Greens were the highlight.

Punched Greens

Great day of golf. Played with a guy who worked at the course. Very friendly and proud of his course. The greens were punched a few days back and the greens were a little bumpy

Nice course but a little tight.

We enjoyed our round. Course was in good condition except for Tee boxes on the par 3’s. Temporary artificial surface due to refurbishing. Green we’re challenging with some inconsistencies.

Nice course

Played here on vacation, conditions were good, only complaint was some of the tee boxes on the par 3s were not where they were showed on the yardage book and were much closer in the 70-100 yard range. For it being a beautiful and busy Friday, the pace of play was steady, it backed up a little at the turn, but then kept moving, and I didn’t feel rushed like some other courses. Staff was super friendly as well. I’d play here again for sure!
