Nice par 3 well cared for and a great time filler for late morning golf. No riding carts but pull carts available and not really a bad walk at all. Have a nice little par 3 action.

John Vizzachero
An absolute blast of a par 3 course. The longest hole is maybe 150 yards. Super stress free, you can probably finish a round in under 3 hours with a foursome. Greens are well kept, super well priced, staff was friendly, and the driving range is really cool and even has some automatic ball dispensing bays (also the yard markers are some of your favorite politician's faces haha). Definitely worth checking out!

My 5 year old’s favorite place to play. The course provides a tremendous value for family fun and is a great place to work on your short game if you are an avid golfer. They keep the greens in fantastic shape and there is a nice variety of yardages for the holes. The automatic driving range is a neat feature. Definitely recommend!
