I’ve been golfing at this course since I was 12 years old. I am now 35. I called this morning to book a teatime for my wife and my kids. The guy who answered the phone was so rude and disrespectful I couldn’t believe it. My kids and I grew up learning to play golf on this course. I was advised this morning that they would not let us all golf together mind you it’s two adults and three juniors all above the age 12 the guy would not even hear me out and completely disregarded what I had to say. He continued to be rude and disrespectful. I would not recommend this course to anybody.

Awesome show last night!!! Thanks to everyone who worked hard so the fireworks show could go on. Was happy they were able to put on such a nice show even though it decided to rain at 9 pm.

This place was great! 9 hole course with only 2 par 4’s. The value is maybe the best I’ve ever had. Beers were cheap too. Staff was helpful. Greens were actually in solid shape, If I lived in the area I’d be chipping away everyday at this place.

Nice little 9-hole, par 3 course with two par 4's mixed in for some driver work. It's well maintained every time I've been. The course is relatively easy, but fun with a couple of creek crossings and challenging greens. Easily walkable, but offers carts for those who need the assistance. The best part is the pricing and availability of tee times.

This is one of my favorite courses. It's just a nice, relaxing par 29 with 7 par 3's and 2 par 4's. Clubhouse staff are very nice and good about keeping things flowing. Green fees are about where you'd expect.
