The course’s lush fairways and well-manicured greens are surrounded by vibrant floral displays and mature trees, lending a calming yet focused atmosphere to the experience. A standout feature includes a unique 13th hole positioned on an island, adding a playful test that is as memorable as it is strategic. While the layout keeps pace fast and exciting, golfers should be ready for small greens guarded by subtle contours and bunkers placed to reward accuracy.

Beautiful short golf course. Has par 4's, so you can let the big dog eat... at least a little bit. Great Fairways and greens. The staff in the club house was wonderful and courteous. I played a couple other courses around, none as green or well manicured. Bonus lucky 13 hole. Extra hole to play that's on a island 🏝 Also saw this guy!

I was really looking forward to playing at this course and while the course itself was beautiful and the clubhouse staff was friendly and welcoming, the experience was completely ruined by the starter. From the moment we arrived, he was nothing but rude and aggressive, acting like we were an inconvenience just for showing up. On top of that, the course doesn’t operate with tee times, which is an absolute joke. We ended up stuck behind a line of 10 carts, waiting forever to even tee off. It’s pretty hard to enjoy a round when the starter is barking at you and the course is backed up like a traffic jam. It’s a shame because the course is in great shape and the rest of the staff was awesome, but that guy seriously needs an attitude check. Until they figure out how to run things more smoothly — and maybe hire someone with basic people skills — I won’t be coming back.

Very friendly staff inside the pro shop, course looks to be in very nice shape, but we rolled up to the first tee to see a group of about 10 carts and a few walkers just waiting to go off. The starter was not friendly at all and I would even go as far to say he was a little rude. I’m not sure if the stress from having 10 carts going waiting to go off or what, but it was almost enough to make me turn around and ask for a refund. Not very pleasing. I think this course could benefit from implementing tee times to avoid this very issue.

Had a good experience with our 1st time playing here. Beautifully landscaped with a waterfall flowers everywhere. Most fairways pretty good a couple of greens were baked out.

Beautiful golf course, green ruffs and fairways, lush plant life, flowers everywhere, plenty of shade under tree lined and surrounded holes. 6 par 4’s and the rest par 3’s. Recommend if you’re looking for an executive style course.
