Dinner here was delicious. We had the haddock dinner with Mac and Cheese and, Philly steak with fries and macaroni salad. The fish was light, flakey and terrific. Some one here knows their way around macaroni both dishes were outstanding. We ate on the deck, which had a nice view. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Great course, very relaxed environment. I do wish they had a drink cart out on the course on the hot days. Other than that it's a well maintained course in general. Open to the public for leagues and regular play.

The owner and PGA Pro Andy is super nice and great to talk to. It had just rained 2 or more I chest in the past two days and the course had drained very well. The greens were fast and unforgiving. The fairways were in great condition and pin placements kept things very interesting. Great course for the price! If you golf or have a group of people that want to get together regularly and have some fun....this is a great place to do it.

I was a member here 20 years ago, most things haven’t changed. Course was in great shape, greens rolled a bit slower than I anticipated, but were still very good! Food and staff were excellent!

Greens were excellent. Tees needed some work. Overall a good golf course. Has 6 par 3s; 6 par 4s; and 6 par 5s, very unique for a golf course.

Can't comment on the food but the golf was enjoyable. There are some great holes. Not super expensive and a fun time once you get out there. Staff is also very friendly. Will be returning. Cons: - Golf carts are super slow - this is because the paths need an drastic overhaul and the course doesn't want people speeding into a pothole. It's really bad, most people seem to just avoid the paths wherever possible. -Trash cans are always full, and there are no places to throw your broken tees on the tee box. You're also likely to find an empty can or some other litter on the fairway. 2022 UPDATE:…

Interesting layout and fast but fair greens. However, the tee boxes were awful. Had trouble on some just finding grass. Lots of weeds and clover. It's been dry lately, but the course is like concrete in many places. Hit a ball 50 feet short of the green and watch it run right through. $48 with cart is a little much for a senior player considering the condition of tje course

Great challenging layout. Take a minute to read your putts! Greens were quick and lots of subtle and not so subtle breaks! Must play if you haven't!

Nice golf carts. Looks clean and new. Great pro shop with friendly staff. Bought a nice universal [one size fits all] woman's glove that has a tee and its holder and a ball marker. The glove is phone screen friendly. Nice long course. Restaurant is open upstairs . The shrimp cajun sandwich could better. Four small shrimp with chopped lettuce... The lettuce and shrimp falls out. I would suggest to use a whole leaf lettuce to keep the shrimp together and the lettuce from falling out and perhaps use bigger shrimp.

The course has undergone some changes in the past couple of years. From management/ownership and the overall playability of the course. The new owners are doing a really good job. The course has been playing well this year (2018) even with the lack of rain. They've also been very active on social media. Which is the complete opposite of what past owners and managers did. Hopefully the course and clubhouse continues to improve and business thrives for years to come.
