Played course March 18, 2024. Nice hidden gem to work on short game. Nice staff and cheap prices. Nice practice facilities to work on putting and short game. You don't need much here. Anything more than a 56 is not needed. All tee shots are off of a turf mat. The greens are in good condition with the exception of tree debris constantly falling. It's worth the money if you're just trying to play some quick golf for fun.

Such a great find. I wanted to golf with my two sons. We searched and found this place. I ended up calling and the person was super nice and helpful. They also honored youth on course discount. Finding the place was a bit of a challenge. Apple Maps had us in the opposite side. We ended up playing a nine hole round. The greens were nice and although all par 3’s it was challenging and fun. I forgot to mention they also rent clubs. We had so much fun.

Was my first time golfing ever and my fiance took me here to try. I'm so glad we chose this course! I had a lot of fun and it didn't feel too hard and pressure for a newbie like me. Other more experienced golfers have said they liked it as well. Give it a try it's a fun course.

Tiny but cute! Great for families or people just learning to play, or to practice your short game. Well maintained and a great price, but if you’re experienced, don’t plan to hit with much more than a pitching wedge and putter.

So this was my first time playing golf. I was extremely nervous. I was also worried about the dress code. Dress code was definitely not an issue. Also, the location was beautiful, I know it was my first time but the green was well kept, staff was welcoming, and I had an amazing time. Played better than I expected!
