Nice, open course

My wife (novice) and I (intermediate) played this course and really enjoyed it. It's in fine shape for the time of year and it is fairly open which enabled a decent speed of play. The greens were in very good shape while the fairways were still emerging from dormancy. I'd definitely play this course again and would highly recommend it for new golfers. We got really nice weather and got partnered up with a pretty laid back guy which also helped!

One staff member was a bit pushy and rude. Course was nice. Not happy with being sandwiched between two groups right at our tee time leading to some delays and the pressure of people waiting behind us. Overall a nice experience though.

Fantastic Golf Course

This is a fairly forgiving golf course where if your short game is on point, you'll score well. The rough was cut down so it was easy to find your ball pretty much no matter where you hit it and yes, I tested that on a few of the holes. There are a large number of deer, foxes, ducks and the like on the course.

Played long!

Course was in very good condition. Greens running faster than expected, but rolled true. Great day, but steady winds made the course play long. It didn’t help that the shortest par 3 was180 yards from the white tees, Friendly ranger asked if pace was okay — it backed up a bit on Par 3 #12, but resumed decent pace soon after.
