There is nothing not to like about this friendly 18 hole mostly par 3 course. It's the ideal practice course for everything but the driver. The variety makes it interesting with several over the water holes to make it seem longer. This is also the ideal walking course with most hole to next tee-box distances being very short. One standout is the pro-shop and kitchen. While many courses seem to have a 19th hole that is always closed early these guys seem to take pride in their offering: plenty of nice benches and chairs to hang out before and after the game. I watched the lady in front of me order an "ice cold chardonnay" along with some Mexican food as she prepared to tee off. Also thanks to the staff for squeezing in my 3-some on the day before Thanksgiving when my reservation was only for 2.
Love this place for a quick round. Make sure you keep the ball going straight cause there’s houses on both sides and sometimes holes shoot towards each other but it makes you be a better golfer and it’s always in great shape. I even played while they were doing green maintenance and it was a discounted price and I still had a good time. Easy to get to good drinks at the bar and pretty damn good food.
Always a great time. Service is excellent. Course in great shape and always has good vibes. Played here plenty as a random and never had a bad pairing. A true gem ☘️.
Always fun for my family & friends including my dog, Lina! 🐶
First time here. It’s like a hidden Gem. A good place to work on your short game & a place to bring the kids who’s getting into the golfing world. I haven’t played a round yet, but I went there to get a feel of my new irons & figure out how far my ball goes. I haven’t been on a golf course since 2006. I sort of still have it! Definitely bringing my kids next time.
