The course was in really good shape

The course was in excellent shape with a nice driving range and practice putting green. The bar and restaurant are a little pricey but lots of good choices. I will definitely play here again

No worth it

The course layout was ok but that’s about it. Below my reasons for poor feedback:
1. The parking lot is small so not sure why there is valet. There was enough parking for patrons and I felt it’s just another way of getting $$ out of customers pocket.
2. The course is not well kept. The grasses are too tall beside the fairway. The tee boxes are not well kept and lots of used tees laying all over the box.
3. Green is not consistent across. Also not well maintained.
4. Pace is super slow 18 holes too over 5 hrs
5. Construction materials and machines beside the course.
6. Price too high for sub par quality.

Course in great condition

Nice affordable gem. A bit short so play from the tips. A learners course so golfers need to learn ettiquette on language, repairing green divots, and respect the course and fellow golfers. Only critique is to change the ball washer water, but staff friendly and beautiful clubhouse. 4th time olaying if this year and is holding up well. Greens perfect.

Rough was way overgrown, if ball didn’t land in fairway you weren’t finding it. Second time playing here and both times lost multiple balls on good drives just off the fairway.

Still needs a lot of work!

The course is in better condition than previous months BUT DEFINITELY STILL NEEDS A LOT OF WORK. As always there was no starter or marshal on the works so everyone was just doing what they wanted to do. For a very short and not challenging course the pace of play is ridiculous.

Course was surprisingly in good shape. Greens and fairways were reasonable, especially given the volume of play. Short course and very basic, but it works for the average golfer.
Just wish there was water out on the course and a ranger to move along slow payers.
Driving range available and two practice greens. Restaurant and bar were nice but very pricey.

Pleasantly surprised with the conditions, especially the greens which were well maintained. Only issue were the ball marks that previous golfers didn’t repair. Fairways and rough in good shape. Tee boxes a little beat up but no big deal, can always find a spot to tee up. Back nine is longer, tougher and prettier than front. Fred the starter a nice guy who keeps things moving. Will definitely play again
