Communication is poor. Venue stole $2000 from me and won’t allow me to use it for another event even though I was told by the manager Robyn that I could. I can’t get anyone to return my calls or honor my credits. All around poor service and clearly like to steal from people!!! What a shame.

I played here as a guest recently and it is a beautiful course set up, pro shop was very accommodating and restaurant staff was friendly. Course conditions could have been better 4/5 but still a great place to play a round of golf. Course is very short, but still challenging.

Attended a wedding here. It was beautiful, the food was very good, and the grounds are very well maintained and pretty. Our server, while obviously busy, was extremely attentive. He got us everything we needed. All in all, it was a beautiful evening and event.

I joined in August 2021 and tried to coordinate golf and tennis lessons but could not get anyone to return inquiries. My teenager and I ate lunch, his was inedible fish tacos and mine was a club sandwich I could have made at home. I suggested mixers to try to meet new members but no one reached out. Waste of money in my opinion and the management staff never once reached out to me after I advised I was looking for more opportunities to utilize the club both personally and for business events. Now they are trying to charge me for more months beyond the original required 12 month commitment. Extremely dissatisfied and not how one would expect to be treated.

Went for a wedding. There were a few staff members who were rather short-tempered and didn't seem to want to be there, but most seemed happy and pleasant. The club house was nice but we weren't allowed in it past a certain part of the afternoon, although it was in the 90's. The grounds were well kept, scenery was beautiful.

Uninspired food, poor course conditions, increaes in dues without improvements, management without private club experience. For profit owners don't seem to care.
