Reviews
Nice venue, great views. Greens and fairways well tended but soft and over-watered in many places. Staff friendly and helpful. Average mat-only range area. Carts clean and well maintained but "brought to you by the DNC" (save you from yourself). Small bar/kitchen, inside/outside tables, very limited menu, late opening ("8:30 or 9:00 a.m.") and early close--get your breakfast before you go there. Despite early close, the afternoon hostess really went out of her way to ensure our large group was taken care of before she locked up--well done by her.
Great layout, testing fast greens. Speed of play was perfect. Didn't wait for anyone group. And nobody breathing down our backs from behind. Only bummer...the grill for food. They had no options but greasy chicken strips. I can't believe there menu is so bad with this type of operation. I just wanted a turkey cheddar sandwich...nope. Guess I'll bring own sammy next time!!!
I've been in this course every year but I was very disappointed this time for their dishonest staffs and immoral attitude. I left my laser gps attached in the cart, so I called right away to proshop when I realized but their staff didn't report the lost and found. It is very disappointing to hear from one of my favorite course and from the sports place we all expect to be in sports mindset to be honest and fair.
It was really really nice playing here. Easy to check for tee times online. Staff very nice, carts in good condition. The course is a good test of your golf skills throughout your round, sand traps very challenging greens, very fun run. Will be back soon. Sorry no food cart... Oh well not a big deal for me. Drinks and food for sale in restaurant for you before, at turn, and at end. Breakfast Burrito is great! Fix your divots people keep the greens nice! 😀
Very well maintained course, fast greens. Not a “long” course but challenging- you must be able to control your ball in order to succeed here! Pro shop, driving range, excellent grill..my favorite course in the area!
