Awesome classical golf course with undulating fairways and challenging greens. Much improved this year 2026. Greens and tee boxes are in great condition. Fairways are much improved. Bunkers have new sand and are a work in progress. With reasonable green fees and tee times. 18 holes can be easily played in less than 3 1/3 - 4 1/2 hours. We will definitely be playing here often this year. Great to see all the improvements!

The first time playing this course lots of fun. I found a lot of times the fairways were wet, and they were little gnats, flying around. Either way as a new golfer played 9 holes. Hit the green one under par two times, very happy

The course is in shambles. The management is horrible. A guy named John apparently runs this disaster and doesn't respect tournaments. The greens are burnt, the tee boxes aren't close to level and the grass is higher then the rough and the sand traps.....just see the picture attached. I wouldn't take money to play here.

The course is in really good shape. Considering all the rain we have gotten the drainage has been very good. They replaced the cart paths and parking as well. As far as the play of the course, you really could use every club, a lot of different looks. Highly recommend coming out to play there. Definitely a very good course for the money.

Consider cross country skiing here. Looks like they have a good youth PGA program. Golf for the people!

5/20/2024 -The course is in awful condition. Not only did we have to drive an extra 30 minutes because of the detour, but the course looked like it had just rained 6", but it didn't. Water and mud everywhere, When we asked about it they said they had ground water issues. We were there 2 years ago and everything was dry and nice. You could not walk from cart path to tee box because of all the mud. There are other nice courses in this region but we will be staying away from this one.

They've really done a ton of work on the course this year and have restored it to the way it was. in the early 2000's. They repaved the cart paths, added a lot of drainage, and have really cleaned up the place.

Long course. Good tempo greens run true. Fairways get lots of roll. When we were there quite a few places under repair due to heavy rain. Will golf again.
