Course is in GREAT shape. No drinking water on course. Saw cart girl twice, 90 degrees. Power Aide $4 Water $2 Starter is rude and not an asset to CRGC Lone barkeep needs an assistant.

Course is average at best. The price seemed high for the overall course. The grounds crew kept cutting the grass around the holes while we were hitting up on the greens. Also - the cart paths have lots of bumps. Finally - the golf cart was probably the worst I have ever been in - no pickup and very old.

The course was in good shape. It would have been really nice if they had put some water out on it considering the humidity and high temps. I brought some water with me but only lasted the front 9 so was dying of thirst by the end of 18.

Recently played in an outing here. Course was in great shape. Theyre trying their best to maintain greens. Lot of reminders on the course to fix divots. I appreciate this. The staff was great throughout the whole outing. I cant judge anything based on pace of play due to the outing. Though i want to come back for a regular round of golf. Flat course for most part. Lot of tree lined fairways

I had lunch at the golf course on Friday, April 11, 2025. Garlic Lemon Salmon was served with rice and broccoli. Everything on my plate was absolutely delicious, memorially delicious. The cookies served for dessert were equally delicious and the service was wonderful. I would definitely eat at the golf course again.

Greens and fairways are nice. Watch out on them cart paths tho.

The course is wide open and not really a lot of dog legs. Not really any back ups on holes and staff throughout was kind and friendly. Had lunch after my round and food came out quick and was super solid. Only thing I would give constructive criticism on is greens and the tee box on a few holes were a little beat up but I dis play after a few days of rain so that could be the root cause. Overall, I would play here again in a second and a perfect course for beginners or people like myself who are not that good at golf but always enjoy a round with some good friends.

I played this course on 9/22, a very rainy day. The course still held up well under these conditions. The course was empty so I got to play at my own pace. As a single golfer I played in 3 hours flat. They take care of this place. Also, great staff in the bar & grille. Food was delicious. Make sure to order the steak bites. Incredibly tender. Also the French onion soup is delicious.

Played here twice this year and both times the round ended up being 5.5 hours. Wouldn’t come back.
