First time playing this course. It was in great shape. The layout is challenging and you can definitely tell it’s an older course by its design. Will be playing this one again. Well with the hour and a half drive from my house.
Really fun course, especially for the price. Played in the winter, but greens were good, fairways in good condition with bunkers that are in phenomenal shape.
Nice course at a great price! Oscar was great helping with us find our way since we first time visitors. Definitely will be back!
This is a very nice place to go if you are just starting or at the top of your game. Anyone can play with no membership. The course is well kept, and the carts are new and clean with electronic scorekeeping. In the greens fees are very reasonable. All in all I’ll give it 8/10 simply because the sand traps weren’t very playable, but hey, maybe that’s the point. Remember if you’re slow, let people play through. Good luck.
Great little muni course. For prices these days, it is hard to beat 51 dollars for a nice challenge with decent greens.
