At $23 on the weekend it is the best deal anywhere. The fairways and greens were great and the rough is very thick. Only negative was the starter. They switched the nines and while waiting on the firs... Continue »

Played on 2/28, this course drains extremely well. There were absolutely no puddles at all. It was very slow for the first 4 holes. After it picked up. They should think about switching the 9's to ... Continue »

Greens are in nice shape, but is it just me, or have many of these greens over time become heavily slanted? Seems like some of these greens need to be built up in certain areas - there's a couple hol... Continue »

Slow pace at start, but picked up on back 9. Finished in less than 5 hours on a Sat. Very good, even w/ 5somes in most groups. Greens were treacherous, very fast, esp. when above the hole. Most te... Continue »

Overall I was very disappointed in the condition of the course. The fairways were just too bare, and there was very little rough. One good point about the course was the greens were in very good sha... Continue »

Considering how much play this course gets I cannot believe how great these greens are! The greenskeeper gets an A+ here. At this time of year the fairways and rough tend to be thin due to such cold ... Continue »

This course seems to always be in good condition. Well worth the green fee. Get ther early if on the waiting list, always at least an 1 1/2 hour wait.
