Amazing small golf course for the whole family. Perfect for a small or medium game practice. It takes around 1hour 30 minutes to finish the round. Some greens can be challenging. They are small and challenging steep. The day I played the fairways where hard, because of 6 weeks no rain in the area. The price is right. It would be great if online reservation would be possible. I will definitely visit them again.

Lovely 9 hole golf experience. The course has a variety of challenges, which suits several skills of golfers. They put in a nice bar area with a few tables and at the other end of the building they put in a lot of slot machines in a roomy place.

Fun, challenging little course close to home. The Pro staff and bar staff were very friendly and at $30 per person for 9 with a cart, the prices are very competitive. We had a good time on a Thursday afternoon with no one riding our tails. The course played super fast with the drier conditions lately that is to be expected. If you want a challenge with smaller greens and healthy elevation changes, this is a great course to look at. Hope you have as much fun as we did!!!!

Love this golf course. It’s perfect for newcomers to golf but it’s also perfect for those who are a bit more experienced. My mom, sisters and I throughly enjoy playing here. My older sister and I both learned how to play golf on this course. Friendly workers & atmosphere! Highly recommend!

Good 9 hole course for the value. Had a fun time and always like when I can get in 9 holes in 1.5 hours before work. Course shape has improved over the last year

I grew up playing on this course with my dad and brother. I went back today after decades and had the best time. Course is very well kept, carts are in great condition and the facilities are clean. Extremely friendly staff. Glad it’s still a place I can continue to build memories!

Had never been here previously, but a really fun course. The carts are AMAZING and it's obvious someone has put in some renovation work. I really enjoyed having a 9 hole course where you get to pull out the driver for a few. Nice and forgiving for the less golf skilled. I was able to find every slice and duffed shot. Not a lot of balls you lose to water or OOB. Certainly can't beat the value at this price.

Bartender T is always happy and attentive. The course is great it is a lot more challenging than you'd think. They always have something going on in the bar. The bar has daily specials that are all kinds of fun especially the $2 off your pick.

We fully enjoyed our experience here. I was looking for somewhere a little easier as I had a friend who was new to golf, and this is perfect for that. Don't expect perfect greens or grass- that isn't the idea here. This is a great spot to learn the game, and the holes are actually more challenging than you'd think if you're a golfer who plays a lot! Simple and non pretentious courses like these are great for the game I feel, and we'll be back!
