The price is right , for both range and play. Staff is friendly, and the course is walkable. Been playing here for a couple months now with no issues (besides a couple of lost balls :) )

Plenty of parking. Walked the 18 within 3 hours. Fairways fast, greens even faster and in pristine condition. Last weekend was the City tournament. Reserved tee time online 7 days prior but have to login very early to get an early morning tee time. Especially before the Ladies group starts at 8 am. Weather was great in April. Price is right. Beautiful subdivision of homes entering and around the golf course . Great round of golf

Fairways were good as were some greens but a lot of golfers not taking care of their divots can't beat the price $35.00 with cart and shoot a 90 with new clubs and lose one ball its summer time to get back in the swing of things

Desk staff was difficult and cherry picked what rules he felt like enforcing ie: saying we couldn’t go out at all despite it being 4:30 (next tee time was 4:40, sunset at 7, and we called in advance with the person on the phone recommending to come between 4:30 and close/4:50). After saying that we called ahead, he agreed to let us go, but said we couldn’t use a cart despite it being 4:30 and only one player. Then after deciding to let us go out with a cart, charged a $14 spectator fee for me to sit in the cart. Considering we were two women, the interaction felt a little gender motivated, but maybe I’m getting emotional and jumping to conclusions.
