Golfed there on 7/8/2026. The course was well maintained, but the staff were all exceptional! Couldn’t ask for a nicer group of people. The service in the pro shop was up there with the best. Will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone looking to get a quick round in!
An impressive Par 3 (mostly) course. Don't sleep on this course! It is well maintained and very challenging. Besides that, I was very impressed with the number and diversity of flowers, mushrooms, and wildlife seen while cruising the course. A great experience. I can't wait to play again!
Nice par 3 course. Super fun to play there
Great little course with some challenging holes. Mostly par 3’s with a few par 4’s sprinkled in. My son and I went in early August and the course was in really good shape. They take good care of the greens. You will finish in about three hours unless some guy decides to jump out in front of you. They could do a better job of moving slower players along and not just placing singles in between groups, but overall will go back again. Good price and nice little course.
My wife and I played. Great for mr to a work on my short game and easier for her off the tee. Beautifully maintained and helpful staff. Lots of fun. Can't wait to go again.
