We have held our corporate Christmas parties here for four years and, historically, the experience has been excellent. However, we’ve recently encountered significant scheduling challenges. After a last-minute cancellation last year by Anthony with no options to reschedule. We were unfortunately unable to get a response regarding a date for this year as well. We truly value the venue, but the recent lack of communication has made planning very difficult.

We only enjoyed the pool. It’s nice, but was very crowded on weekends. A lot of time it was closed for maintenance.

Small parking lot, fallen leaves everywhere, pool area small, fairways look lush and green.

Neal was great in getting us set up with a new membership. He was thorough, kind and provided excellent customer service throughout the process. He even made a point to stop by and say hi when he saw us there for our first round of golf. Really great experience!

Not a club where disabled people are welcome. They may say everyone is welcome but in practice that is simply not true. Very disappointing and alarming that in 2024 anyone who has any kind of disability will not get a reasonable accommodation to help them enjoy their day playing golf, very sad

Just went to a friend’s wedding where I helped with day-of coordinating. The staff was amazing. They were so accommodating and attentive to the needs of the bride and groom. I wasn’t truly impressed. I’m not in the wedding business but if I was I would highly recommend this venue. What a great experience. Thank you!!!

The recurrent 5hr pace of play allows enough time in between the holes to read a nice book or write this review. While the social membership might be acceptable, the golf membership benefits at this club are poor. The golf course is in great need of just a basic upkeep; eg tree branches needing to be trimmed for at least a year and half now (grass not growing in those parts of fairways) to be able to drive with a golf cart or even hit off of a tee. Additionally, I have never seen the pro shop stock any acceptable women’s clothing/shoes. I am almost impressed that a country club would not want…

I was very disappointed with my experience with this club. Their office management is really a mess. The previous membership director agreed to put my summer membership on hold as I told him I would be traveling, and then I was charged the full amount of membership fees. They simply don't deliver their promise! Then, after I return from summer, I explained the situation to the new membership director and office manager. They agreed to refund me partial membership fees and guess what? After nearly three months, I never got the refund! Even worse, I discontinued my membership in August, but was…
