Fun little course, grumpy little staff.

Teetimes are advertised until 5 PM. That’s totally false. I made a 4:12 time and they were shocked and appalled that someone dare try to play. I’ve never seen anyone want to leave so quick while it was still daylight. I was approached in the parking lot by the starter to question me. Again I was looked at like an alien when I checked in. Once I gave the starter my pass and he realized I was serious, he did become a little more friendly, but hot diggity dawg 530 is a hard out. The clubhouse staff left the parking lot before I did. The course itself has a nice layout. No homes which is great.

Good value

This course has a very interesting and challenging layout. I like the fact that there are not a lot of houses around the course, feels more like what I play up north. The tee boxes were a bit beat up, and the greens were very bumpy. But i guess that is to be expected at this time of year.

Needs new flags

The color-coded pin positions are useless since they use them interchangeably when they run out of a particular color. And the fairway grass was pretty thin.

Good course but

Fairways in great shape..Greens very rough but filling in. I'm sure this is because of weather conditions and in a couple of weeks be fine. The current condition of the greens is the only reason I marked the course down.
