Didn't see one bunker

Finding the next tee box can be a challenge. Holes are not marked well. There are not many yardage markers at all either, so I guessed a lot of the time. Lots of standing water all over the course as well even though it didn't rain too much

Great course for any golfer

This course has no rough and no sand which is great for a golfer who has a slice or a draw. I didn't lose a ball on the course which is rare for me. Greens are true and play fast when dry. The staff was great. I'm looking forward to golfing here again soon.

Value golf

Cheaper fees, friendly service. This is a wide open course with greater margin for error. The greens are a little choppy, but playable. Good course for practice.

Outstanding Value

$34 for 2 players with cart was too good to pass up. For a course that's open year round (sans snow) it was in surprisingly good condition. Especially given that's it's what you'd call a value course. My expectations were surpassed to say the least hence the high marks.

The staff is helpful and very friendly. There are no sand bunkers which is odd at first. Though I found it gives the course it's own character. There is also no clover or weeds in the fairways. Thumbs up. The greens were in pretty good condition but slow because of the previous days rain. But they're fair with plenty of breaks to challenge you. Looking forward to putting on them when they're quicker.

As for the holes in general there are some interesting blind tee shots. I really enjoyed the assortment of distances with 1 drivable par 4. The 5 par 3's required 5 different clubs and vary from licking your chops to "This could be problem". You'll use most if not all of your bag. That was a real plus for me. It's definitely not a 1 trick pony. The rough was fair. I found it to have challenges for any level of golfer but advanced players could certainly go low.

Only complaint. The holes are poorly marked. No signs. On too many of them you have no idea what's out there without a GPS map. The number is written on a trash can. We backed things up a little here and there because we were wasting time searching for the next hole. I know it's a value course but come on folks. Help us out here.

Again, it's a value course and I really appreciate having one of this caliber to play. There was no beverage cart, water or port-a-pots out on the course. But the bar-restaurant and patio are quite cozy and inviting pre and post round.

I'll definitely return often.

Fun for Everyone, NO SAND TRAPS, WOOO!!!!

I played this course with my parents, they love it because the fairways had some roll to them so their drives went further. I loved the challenging raised greens that defended themselves well from wayward shots. The best part of it is, no bunkers!!!! Needless to say this was enjoyable, no raking, no worrying about sand quality, just fun shots around the green!
