The club staff were so friendly and helpful. Nice, surprisingly difficult 9 hole course. A good workout if you’re walking.

Fun little course! Rental clubs, balls & tees for 9holes under $40; can’t beat that! Good elevation changes and pin placement throughout. Will play again when in town.

I’ve played this rustic course for decades and loyally over that time, but when they allow, as they did today, a group of eight and two groups of six out, on a jammed weekend, they need to have a foursome max like every other course I know has.
