Great Course,Awesome Staff

I’m fairly new to the game ( 3yrs). Great course layout. Can be challenging for new players, But definitely worth it. Pace of play was good. Course was in great shape, Considering it being so late in the season. I’d recommend getting a cart, Course is somewhat hilly. Definitely recommend checking out the restaurant, food was great and scenery was amazing.

Poor course conditioning & run by amateurs (non-golfers)

Classic! They take your money and as soon as you step on the course you can tell they are not putting any money into the course conditions. Tee boxes that are all hacked up, not level, greens punched and ridiculously sanded by amateur staff, it was like putting in a bunker they put so much sand on these greens. We observed golfers cutting in front of us on Hole #10 after the turn and then had another group try to do the same on #17. Ridiculous! No Marshalls on the course. A 2-star for this place was a stretch. I’’m a member at a network of private clubs in Canada and a 9 handicap. This place is a total joke as to how it is run. Course layout was interesting but everything else was garbage on all dimensions that are important to serious golfers. AVOID. Spend your money elsewhere.

There was a frost delay that they did not notify anyone and it caused an hour and a half delay . They also punched the greens and were very sandy which they also didn’t let anyone know about .

Good course, interesting layout and good value

Course is not boring, one of the better designed courses in the area open to public. Plenty of drivable holes, some really challenging holes. Recommend you get a cart, due to the nature of course layout. It is in great shape at the moment.

Great course

This course is very nice and has all kinds of elevation and hazards to avoid. They maintain it well and the starter is quite friendly. I would go back. The only thing that is off is the restaurant bar …it is a bit slow. I felt the bar staff didn’t have a good system, but it was somewhat busy. In either case great place.

Great course, lots of challenging fun.

Always a well cared for course. One of my favorites in the area.
2 minor annoyances recently. No drinking water on the course and the water in the ball washers was filthy.

Great

Beautiful view from the first tee/club house. Course conditions were amazing and greens rolled true. Pace was slow but it was a Saturday afternoon so to be expected. Clubhouse had a great restaurant and they had a bev cart making regular rounds on course. Overall 5 star
