Im shocked this course doesn’t have better reviews! I love it so much I bought a sweatshirt. The course itself is beautiful and has been in great condition every time I’ve been and the employees are always friendly. One time someone gave me a sparkly pink ball. The carts are well-loved but they work fine. This course is very much my vibe. It’s not stuffy and I have a good time every time.

We played today in spite of the bad reviews and had a great time! The fairways are fine, the greens have a few bad spots but not terrible. The bunkers are awful so just take a drop outside the bunker. Don't let the bad reviews discourage you. It's a great course.

No stars, called to report damage from a fly ball as I drove past, this place (Ralph specifically) will take no responsibility for my shattered windshield, or the glass shards now covering my dash and front seat.

The course had a great view and the people working were very generous and kind! The issue was the condition of the course, many of the “sand traps” had no sand, cart paths were very confusing and some of the tee boxes were in poor condition.

This course is awesome! Great hole designs and the fairways and greens are kept in great condition. Don't be fooled by the low reviews this is a golf course for people who want to get out on the course with a couple beers and play not for the members of high society in clubhouse who play twice a year you get at the "nicer" courses.

Nice course, not to expensive, does have some challenging holes, especially when the wind is blowing, the only complaint I have is that the course seems to be wet year around and on some holes you will not get any roll, and you may not even find your ball in the fairway because it plugged. But I would definitely recommend the course because it is fun and has an interesting layout.

If they told me that I could go back and play for free I wouldn't go back to this course. They charge $52 to play with a cart at 4:30 PM on a weekday for a course that looks like it was abandoned. If you do decide to go to the course and rent a cart make sure to bring extra straps to keep your clubs on the cart (which was a member recommendation as I was looking for my driver that snapped). The strapping on many of the carts isn't working properly probably because they have been around since the 1980's and caused the bags to fall off and ended up snapping my driver. Many of the bunkers are in such disrepair that they simply put "ground under repair" signs right in the middle of them. in closing, do not waste your time and money by going to this course!
