Enjoyed nine holes on a beautiful Friday morning! Course has some challenging holes and greens set amongst many trees and water features. Try it sometime. You won’t regret it!

Great 9 whole course. We booked only 9 holes but enjoyed it so much we went back in and asked if we could go around again. They were more than happy to oblige us. All the staff were very friendly. Course conditions were good. Pace of play was great. Few beat up tee boxes but that’s to be expected by this time in the season. Course layout was good. Not a super challenging course but not the easiest either. Great place to play for players of all abilities. We were visiting from out of state but if I lived nearer I would want a membership here. Just a lovely golf experience.

Wonderful small town course. Challenging for beginners. Relaxing play for weekend golfers. Greens were in great shape as of 6/8/25. Staff in the clubhouse and pro shop are extremely helpful and very friendly. We drove 1.5 hrs from Connecticut just for a getaway weekend and we would definitely come back and play here again!

This was our first time coming here and it was the best experience. We were greeted by the amazing Dawn who informed us on everything we needed to know. She was so kind and made sure we felt welcome as newcomers! The course was beautiful and very well maintained.

First time. Nice short course with some interesting holes. Best value for the money! Clubhouse nicely redone. Greens and fairways top notch. Only thing keeping it from 5 stars are the tee boxes which need some work. New owners working hard. We’ll be back!
