The course ranger and starter were very helpful today. They let me play as a single because the threesome I was paired with was being difficult about playing with a random. The group behind them was also grumpy about a random joining them so they let me play through on my own and helped keep pace of play as much as they could. Overall the course is in good shape for the price.
Fabrizio Garcia
Great course and fairly priced. Well-maintained, friendly staff, greens are in great condition for a public course. It’s a fun course to play, especially if you want to play a quick round. Good hole layout with some challenging features.
Matthew Wardrip
Let me start off by saying it's a very nice course, even with all the rain we have had in the last month. My concern is more with the starter who was an absolute jerk, not just to me and my party, but everyone he encountered. He is on some massive power trip and I think others have commented about this as well. I do also have to say that I don't understand why a party of 3 can't use two carts and instead has to inconvenience a single fast player. Starter said we will slow down the pace if we went on our own. So instead we have to go out with some random player who wants to play way faster than we did? Makes no sense! This course overbooks so if you want a speed run of golf this is the place for you, but don't come here if you want a leisurely day on the course.

You should manage your expectations when you visit the course. I only played 9 holes, so not sure how the back 9 hole is but I would consider this course has no green. The grass and tee box also needs some care; however, the cost is unbelievable and a great place to practice short game.

The older range is extremely rude and unprofessional. Course is great for the money, but I’ve never seen a ranger that rude in my life. This is clearly the most amount of power he has ever had in his life and is enjoying it. Probably not coming back solely because of him.

Nice executive course.
Chris Small
Great course. No food or alcohol available. Kid at the desk acts dumb when you ask him where is the grill. Turns out there is a dude serving. But the kid had no idea.
