The good the bad and the ugly. Good: The course is beautiful and was able to find a hot deal to play for 26 bucks with cart included on GolfNow app. Staff were friendly. Greens were fast, well kept, and pins were placed in fun positions. Bad: Tee boxes for par 3’s are atrocious as shown in picture. Either they are not rotating enough or the people (seemed like mostly high schoolers when I played) are tearing it up. Fairways can be a bit rough also seen in pictures, not everywhere but a serious eye sore. Ugly: Pace of play I would give negative stars. After playing courses in several states…

Haven't been to this course before but I really enjoyed my round. All of the workers were friendly and helpful. The course was a little tight in some areas as far as fairways being next to each other BUT, if you hit your ball correctly, you will be fine. Decent looking, well kept course hidden away from the community pretty well by trees and bushes. They still have room for a driving range and practice green. Nice oasis to enjoy a few hours!

Great course. Fairways and greens were in great shape. Tee boxes were a bit rough. The only complaint I have is the cart girl didn’t approach us once during our entire round. I would see her sitting around in fairways (maybe waiting for people to hit before moving in) but she was doing too much of it. When I brought it up to an employee he said I’m not management and didn’t offer to get anyone.

Played a quick impromptu 9 holes last Friday, and host pro Henry “ Hank” H went out of his way to make it one of the finest rounds I’ve shot in a long time. The LB front 9 played very well and the green’s accommodated my many attempts to break par.

What an improvement! I swore I’d never play here again after a bad experience (terrible conditions) 2 years ago. But I played on 7/25/25 and was pleasantly surprised. Greens were in great condition and well watered. Fairways had few bare spots. Grass and vegetation was well groomed. Friendly staff. Pace was good - even on a Friday. Excellent experience for a public course. I’ll be back!

Beautiful course. Not as challenging as I would like. Most holes are pretty straight and flat. Surprisingly recovered well from all the flooding with remenent marks on the bushes. Great value.

Really nice course. Wish we could have enjoyed more of it but a late tee time cut the round short. Great sunset made up for it though

Course and greens: 4 Minimal divots, decent upkeep, layout was fine. They did the trick for golf, but wont be making a memory. Staff courtesy: 5 Staff efficiency: 2 The dude in the pro shop seemed a bit overwhelmed and took an exorbitant amount of time for transactions. Golf carts: 4, gas powered, functional, nothing to wet yourself about Pro shop: 2, they had the requisite stuff but that's it. Restaurant: 1. A concessions stand at a high school football game has more options and amenities. It was also critically understaffed. Ordering a few beers and a hotdog took north of 15 minutes. Rental…

This course is in decent shape and occasionally runs specials during the week. Play a little later in the day. I’ve played here twice this season early morning, and both rounds had heavy dew on the greens. Please cut or sweep the greens each morning it’s no fun to putt on. Randomly this course gets packed too so call ahead.

Played here for the first time today and really enjoyed it. Cool layout - I personally thought the course was in good shape compared to others this time of the year. Greens were fast and challenging. Eric from the pro shop was super awesome and really gave some great customer service. I will be back here

Beautiful course with tricky greens and friendly staff. Weekend golf has very tight tee times with slow pace of play. Next round will be during the week

I have played several public courses in the area. Eric is by far the most respectful and knowledgeable manager I have ever dealt with. Eric and his staff are amazing!! —Joe F
