I Called the course ahead of time asking if they had lefty clubs. I was assured they did so I booked the course. I arrived early for my tee time and was told they did NOT have left handed clubes. Since I was here on business we stayed but extremely disappointed. The only thing this place has is for it is the view and the beer

Poorly ran! Rude employees. My car got hit by a golf ball. It hit the hood of my car and my windshield. I went in to see if I could hold someone responsible for the damages and they told me they don't do that there. I wanted to talk to the person who hit my car. They said if I went on the course they would call the cops. Bunch of crap you guys aren't held liable for damages to people's cars that they work hard for. Especially single mothers. You should have some kind of insurance for this. Or put your course on a better plot of land cause next to a busy street is crap. Or build taller fencing. Terrible! And so rude! Not understanding at all. Should be closed down!!

We called ahead to get my 92 year old grand father out with us on Father’s Day and were told he could ride with us. Come Father’s Day we were met with coldness and rudeness right out of the gate. The man behind the counter just kept repeating you can go.

Just a lovely place to play golf. You do not need any kind of membership. It is budget friendly. After golf you can have beverages in its newly renovated store.
