Boring & very unfriendly staff

The only thing good to say, is it was in good condition. Staff was worse I’ve ever run into. Rude even. We arrived at 8:40 for a 9 AM TEE time and were told that we would have to wait until after a weekly golf league went off at 9. AM. I objected and were again told to wait. My husband went in and told them that we had a tee time and were going off. We teed off at 8:50 and never saw anyone in front of us, the course was empty. The league never caught up with us. Course was boring, more like an old city course then something up north. Flat & boring. Dont bother.

Great course

Fantastic course that isn’t over crowded. Attentive staff that are friendly, but let you do your own thing. There was no one on the course at 8am, so we controlled the pace. Beautiful scenery and the course was immaculate. Can’t wait to get back up here and play it again!
