It's great!
They have really improved the course this year! My dad and I try to play it as much as possible because it is a really nice course.
HORRIBLE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY
My golf league plays here on Tuesday this course is in terrible shape. The owner is not making any effort to make things right with the course. She makes excuses and blames the old owners. They bought the course in 2019 and haven't done anything but run it into the ground. The new chef and lacy are the highlights of this course.
Worse Course
Course is equivlilent to playing Schenley Park for 3 times the money. Greens slow, fairways with clover growing in them. Good eats, good bartender but terrible course conditions for $53.00.
Bad Conditions
The course is burned out in a lot of areas. Must not have any water to keep fairways green. Clover growing everywhere including fairways. Greens super slow. I hit a down hill 20 foot putt pretty well and still came up 7 feet short. Find another course for the $51 dollar price they asked for a round. By the end of July the course will be brown instead of green.
Concrete, burn out & potholes
When I booked the tee time I asked about the conditions and they decided to leave out the fact that the front nine is hard as concrete, tee boxes and fairways mostly burnt out and bunkers a mess. Huge patches on greens with no grass. A few holes the cup is on a slope that the ball wont stay within 10-15 ft so you’re basically playing goofy golf. Wouldn’t say the staff is too friendly either. Shame this place has gone downhill so much since the layout is decent. The back nine is better but still not what you’d expect for $50. Another note, the carts are pretty old and shocks definitely gone. May need a chiropractor due to the cart paths being filled with potholes and huge bumps throughout entire course. nearby courses in much better condition for the same price so until they decide to take better care of the course and amenities I’d go elsewhere.
Interesting layout
Course is in good condition with some uniquely designed holes. Greens are in good shape. 16 dollars for 18 holes is a great price and it isn't that expensive too belong. Pace of play is excellent.
