Awesome course, great bang for your buck— has a high class feel for 50$. My local 9 hole is 40$ and it’s not even in the same league as this place. Kind staff and well maintained course. Only complaint I have, today there was a 15 minute behind pace warning and a ranger was not around to enforce it
Beautiful course. Plenty of holes with nice water views. During peak season the greens are nice and well maintained. Players are generally very respectful of pace of play and because of that you arent pressured by the staff to play faster. One of my favorites in the area.
It's been a few years since playing here and unfortunately today was in some heavy rain. That said, the course was in great shape, tee boxes were great, the greens were in excellent shape and rolled very well. And so nice to be at a driving range where you can hit off the grass. Staff is always pleasant and add to a great experience.
I've played this course several times and I thoroughly enjoy it. Nice atmosphere, I wish they had a little more food selection but I enjoy playing the course
I tried this golf course for the first time. Being a new player, it was challenging. I would play again at this course. Lots of bodies of waters and hills. The greens were not in good shape, but probably had to do with the time of year.
