My 4 foot putting green at home is a better course. If you wanna play 65 yard holes with a flag in the middle of fairway this is your place
Thomas Fitzpatrick
Great place to learn the game of golf Kids play free.

This is a great course for people learning to play golf! it also works well if you just want to do a quick nine holes and not ever have to take a wood out of your bag. My son is learning to play golf, and there's a great program for kids to golf for free. So the two of us play nine holes for $8 total, every time! The greens are not manicured. But that makes sense for a course where people are just learning how to play golf. Imagine beginning golfers negotiating super slick undulating greens! It really is the right thing to do to have these greens be a little slow and a little lumpy and a little fuzzy. They're not terrible! But they're not like the standard Golf course greens. Every time I interact with a staff member, they are extraordinarily nice and friendly. All of them! This course rents clubs, push carts, and just about anything else you need to play a round of golf. And the prices are amazingly low!

We are new to golf so we played slowly, but people behind us stepped on our throat! I felt rushed, and my experience did not feel enjoyable. Besides, my white sneakers were ruined in the dirt it was HORRIBLE! I also felt i was almost going to pass out. I don't think I will go there ever again.
