Course was in perfect condition. Don't forget to enter the course off of RT. 59.

Great course

Couse was in superb condition. Fairways cut tight. Greens in fantastic shape with a mediem fast pace. You feel like you are playing a private course with great views. You must use golf now at least a day in advance to get in. Use the gated entrance off Rt. 59. Give your name which they will verify on their list and your in.

Joined this club two years ago. Love the course! The groundskeeper does a fantastic job every single day! Challenging but fair. The owner of the course is separate from the homeowners association. Very nice layout and great upkeep!!

That's an interesting assessment of the golf course, considering that the course hasn't had a groundskeeper for four years. The course is in terrible condition compared to when it was being tended to in a proper manner.

Just not worth the money.

First, they bill this as a semi-private country club. However they have no amenities one would expect. No food, no booze, no starter, no marshal, no golf pro, a pathetic pro shop and very little staff. The course conditions are poor. Many of the traps are so hard that balls usually bounce or roll out. It's too bad that a course that could be worth $70 a round is so poorly managed.

Remove this course as an option

I booked a hot deal same day on golfnow and was refused access to this course because it's on private property. The guards will not let people into the community that are not a community member or playing with a community member. The security staff directed me to the proshop, (via phone) and th pro shop confirmed they could not approve my acess because of the HOA rules. Golfnow called the course and after escalating 3 times I was given a refund instead of a credit. Don't waste your time trying to play here. There is a massive disconnect with this site, the HOA that the golf course is on, the pro shop and the security staff.

I wasted 2 hours driving there and arguing with everyone on a transaction that should never been offered or approved.

Incompetent staff

This is a private course and the security people have no access to the golf now reservation and do not let people in. The clubs house said there was nothing they could do and to ask golf now to take them off the website. It's a complete failure across all parties involved.
