Great 9 hole course. Greens are well kept, fairways are like short rough for the most part . Mini putting and driving range. Some of the best rates. Only $2.75 for a beer. Par 32. No par 5s. Easy course and a really great place for beginners. Intermediate golfers are not going to be challenged as it's short and fairly easy. Club rentals available.

My son and I were visiting from out of town and had a little down time to get some golf in. We have golfed all over the US and I will say I was pleased on how well kept the greens are especially for the price. The course was beautiful and a lot of fun especially with the trees everywhere. We will definitely be back again.
