Good value for the money. Some narrow fairways and small greens. Difficult sight lines on some holes if it is your first time playing here. Some tee boxes needed mowing and work. Fairways were decent and greens rolled true.

Great deal

The fairways and greens were in superb condition — much better than 90% of the public courses I've played this year.

The greens were SUPER fast and challenging. I'm definitely going to work on my short game after playing this course. The back nine had some great features, especially the elevated tee box on Hole 17.

Tee boxes were rough but didn't interrupt our game too much.

Overall, a great course and so much bang for your buck. Definitely will be playing here again.

Desperate

This is a former private course that has fallen victim of low membership. Pace of place was pretty slow but the crazy thing was there was no starter, we were told to just go to the tee at our time, no one to check if you followed the rules. The club house, or should I say back closet as the main building was closed by the county, and was literally falling apart. No snack except chips, etc. and none of that was relayed until we arrived. Just a really chaotic feel at the course. Overall fairways weren’t too bad, bunkers were trash with a drop needed from everyone of them. The greens were the victim of a ton of play with a lot of unfixed ball marks, but generally didn’t roll terribly, just not great. Probably won’t play here a again .

Nice Course

Played here through tee off. Course us very challenging with well protected snall greens. Once your on the greens are not difficult to read though. We played on a wet day but the course drained well and we were not effected by the weather very much. The sraff was very friendly. It looks like they are soing some renovations to make things better. Overall, a great day.

Meh

Course was in rough shape. Course condition was far worse than the online photos. For a private club it was a let down. Houses that line the course aren’t well cared for either (unmowed back yards) so if your hit OB, you might not find it even if it just barely went in. Range balls were junk. There wasn’t any starter or free waters (something I expected of a private club). Throughout the course there were a few crazy holes that balls can fall into and you may never see them again. It happened to me twice where the shot should have been playable and then I found some crazy hole and I wasn’t able to find my ball.

Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Great Layout - A Work In Progress

The course design is super requiring good decision-making particularly from the tee. A lot of the tee shots are blind. Conditions were good for the price paid (~$50 with cart). Greens weren’t particularly fast. However they rolled true. Clubhouse closed - appeared to be undergoing major renovations. Found on GolfNow night before - first tee time of the day with three other GolfNow, day before bookings. Would definitely play again
