Fun track, great experience

The renovations appear to be a failure. I love the layout if this course, but the fairways are spotty and the greens are not well maintained. Also, they were unable to have a cart person delivering drinks and food - with 100+ temps, they need to place water on the course. In short, the place needs new management.

Update 5/25. Course is in excellent condition. Tee boxes fairways and greens all very good to excellent. Prior Review 2022 This rating is based on the wet conditions on the whole course after 2 days of dry weather. Course does not appear to drain well. Looking forward to playing when the course is dried out. A bit above average difficulty with elevation on essentially every hole. Greens were in very good shape and played fast.

Condition of the course is great. Beautiful course. Balls sat up perfectly on the fairways, so much so I often used my 4 iron. Greens were great, pin positions were fair. The rough was rough, but playable. Twilight rate was great bargain. The best public course I’ve played in a while.

I played here a few times when the renovations ended but, wow, this course has gone completely downhill since then. Crabgrass, dandelions, too many brown patches with no grass to even count. Don’t take my word for it, see the pictures. Played on Monday, 5/20/24 and will never be back. Just feel so bad for these guys. Pay $20 more and head up to Waverly Woods for an immaculate experience from tee to green.

Course conditions were terrible. Tee boxes were half dirt, fairway looks like dead grass, rough is very patchy and was cart path only on a beautiful 80 degree day, geese poop on the 11th green and wasps on every hole. Also our cart broke down on hole 5 and we called multiple times to try and get a new one to no prevail. Only saving grace was the cart martial was friendly. Spend your money elsewhere.

If I could leave half a star review I would. The course condition was horrible from tee box to green. The green fees were unreasonably high for these conditions. It was cart path only and mind you there had been no rain during the week and on one hole I pulled the cart up just two wheels over the edge of the cart part on the rough to leave room for other carts to go by and management strolled through and rudely told us she was going to move our cart 2 feet over to the cart path without asking nicely. Probably because they don’t have or want to spend the money on quality greenskeepers to maintain the course. 10/10 would highly recommend NOT playing this course.

Course is always in great condition, staff is very friendly. Hopefully they build a new clubhouse soon, I feel like the trailer doesnt match up with the quality/price of the course.
