Had the pleasure of golfing here and I must say I loved it! From the moment I checked in to the 18th hole I had a great time. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The club house is well stocked and has a very nice bar/restaurant area. I did not get to try the food unfortunately. There are putting greens and a driving range. The course was very well maintained and in great condition. All of the greens were in great shape and the fairways/rough were well mowed. Several tee boxes to choose from. This is a challenging course to say the least. Narrow fairways, elevation changes and plenty of water…

Worse customer service ever. Received a gift card “go play golf now” for my birthday that they wouldn’t redeem. Said they are not part of the program and won’t honor it. Every time we come here there is some kid nd of issue. They never tun on time and they don’t know how to move the groups along. Unfortunately won’t be back. Much better courses around then this one.

Great challenge, staff is absolutely generous and accommodating. Very professional and down to earth. Even though we lost a 3 wood today that didn't damper our mood because of the great course and staff. Thank you all, starter to check in to ranger. Thumbs up Get more and better yardage markers on the course or go digital for each cart. You can do it.

We played the course on a Thursday. Pace of play was a little slow. However, we love the layout of the golf course. The tee options support all levels of player ability. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would recommend this course.

Beginners have no chance on this golf course. If you can score 89 from the gold tee box markers you're within 20% of the top golfers in the state. This is a real golf course that challenges you in every hole. I love this course

Whoever is in charge of pace of play at this establishment needs to be fired. Cancel your plans for the rest of the day if you’re going to play here. Took a tick over 5 hours to play 18 on a Saturday afternoon. Groups piled 3 deep on tee boxes, 10 mins between shots, just a horrific experience all around. Clubhouse is great food is good but all ruined by the lethargic pace of play and a ranger who clearly did not enforce any sort of pace. Stay away for the price.

Course is probably a 4.2, even after a hard rain, but the atmosphere and the service, second to none. If you are looking for a challenging course in mid summer, this is it. Must play for price. Plus conditions. Cart paths and carts could use an upgrade, but after learning of the details, especially with the carts, absolutely cannot argue the decision. If this part is your worst complaint, you probably focused too much on this part and not the course itself. Go play this course if you want a challenge. Won’t regret. Thanks to everyone today for a fantastic time.

Waited in line for one hour to get my child’s hand waxed just to be declined by the rude employee. Other than that occurrence we had a great time at the family on the fairway event and had a blast!

Only used the range which has a nice setup, however, the range balls are horrible (dirty, dimples worn out, cracked, water damage). In addition, the range is quite short at only 290 yards to the end, so be careful with driver.
