Great 9 hole course

As a beginner golfer this course offers a good challenge due to the hilly terrain and fairways, but includes very friendly greens. Friendliest staff I have ever encountered.

9th hole

The ninth fairway is blocked by hanging trees branches. It is only a 80 yard shot to the green. Though, you can not just hit a straight as there is a elevation difference. You need to pray you hit it through the branches and onto the green. Needs to be fixed. Bunkers are not a traditional bunker. Hard sand, never play them.

Family course

Great course for bringing the kids out. The tee shots can be tough, so bring plenty of balls…but you’ll find plenty.

A waste

This short 9 hole will be over before you know it, especially since there are no signs at the tee boxes to tell you hole number and yardage. Tee boxes were chewed up, rough was VERY rough, and the staff was rather uptight for a course that allows footgolf. Your money will be poorly spent and you will go home unsatisfied.

Always a solid learning course

Beautiful course for the beginner (but bring extra balls) as some fairways tight. Course was very dewey with a 7:20 tee time, but really in good condition. Never too crowded.
