This place is exceptional in late fall. The greens were pristine, it is very challenging and it is a shot maker’s course. The tee shots will challenge your brain and make you question your decisions, the scenery is beautiful, and it was only 46.00. I loved this place even after it kicked my butt. Its an absolute gem.

Played here yesterday. Has always been a top 3 course for me. Everything was great, course was perfect. Pace of play. Greens as pure as they get. $80 to play which was justified. Will defiantly be back

Course is a local course for locals only, outsiders are not welcome. Are you a single playing behind a group of 7 well don’t you dare skip a hole and get in front of them they will call someone claiming to be a “Marshall” but not the actual Marshall who you meet earlier through the day. Pace of play is not even considered, can you put it on the green in one don’t worry you’ll be still waiting on the group in front of you, and according to their “marshal” it’s perfectly fine for a group of four to hold up 1. Like I said it’s a local course for locals only outsiders are not welcome

Great course in beautiful condition, staff was slightly unpleasant, and when playing 18 with my friend we had to wait on a 6 person group in front of us that added about an hour to our overall time. I would recommend this course, but at the price point some of these issues should be better handled, like a 6 person group.

Course was in solid condition but got stuck on hole 7 with a cart with a dead battery and couldn’t even finish 9 holes and got no answer when I called into the pro shop, it was later in the day so understandable. Didn’t finish the round and had to drive the cart into the club house at about 1 mph. The carts are nice however with good gps screens with golf logix green slope built in, will be back but hoping they keep a better watch on the battery’s

It was a very unpleasant experience. As maybe the only colored team played this day, I have felt very uncomfortable situation. When we wanted to practice at the driving range early on, they said it wasn't available because they were doing grass maintenance. However, like 10 minutes later, we saw people practicing at the driving range and buying baskets of golf balls. And when two of us arrived first and said we'd take one cart first, they unilaterally informed us to each take one cart. But later, when we were at starting point (because we could not use driving range and had 40 minutes left for…

Great course. Links style & fairly wide open (forgiving). TONS of sand traps - guarding almost every green & in the fairway as well. Awesome lodge-style banquet room and bar. Nice pro shop. Definitely recommended.

Course was great—greens were smooth, fairways were clean, and the scenery was so nice I almost forgot I was desperately searching for a bathroom by hole 6. For $97 a round, you’d think they could spare a couple of port-a-Jon’s out there. I wasn’t worried about my slice—I was worried about my back end mid-backswing. When a round takes 4.5+ hours, it turns into more of a gastrointestinal endurance test than a golf game.

Some fairways need work and the bunkers which they were working on at the time I played. All around, nice challenging course, play smart and you'll do well.

Decent course. Starter was present, but on the opposite side of the parking lot from hole 1. Multiple singles jumped our tee time and no enforcement from course. Unlikely to return.

My group paid $101 per person, so I assumed it would be a pretty nice course. It took us 5 hours and 23 minutes to play 18 holes with no cart restrictions. The driving range conditions were awful; bumpy and very little grass to hit off of. The tee box’s and greens weren’t much better. Nobody seems to be fixing their ball marks and the grounds crews aren’t doing anything about it. This is a $45 course at best

Of course is in great shape, back nine is more challenging than the front nine, unfortunately, the driving range was closed on my last visit, but it's usually open. This picture is of 16, very pretty hole.
