Beautiful course. I only played the first 9 holes. Challenging for me as I hadn't played in 25 years. Nice clubhouse with outdoor seating. Staff is very friendly.

This is a nice public course, very well maintained. Many upgrades have been made over the past several years. Also, this is an easy course to walk. Staff is very friendly.

Nice course with wide fairways and large greens. The fairways slope away from center, so you still need to be accurate with your drives. The only issue I have is signage. If you've never played there before, it can be confusing to navigate. A few more signs would help improve the pace of play.

Nice layout. Some greens are in bad shape. The sand traps need SAND! The cart paths are horrible, very rough and rocky. This can be a premium golf course if they would invest some money into it.

The course itself is a good layout. No two holes are alike. The condition of the course is usually ok. My issue is with the operation of the course. AFTER you have make a tee time, they will simply cancel it on you (sending you an email), if they have a chance to host an outing that day, etc. Im not really aware of any other operation that maintains such a poor customer service policy. They also don't answer the phone.

The starter was the most rude and unprofessional individual I’ve ever encountered on a golf course. Unfortunately, he ruined the experience from the first tee … not to mention the course has no cart paths. This course certainly does not deserve its current over 4 star rating.

Kevin and his staff do a very good job with the limited resources that they have . They have done a great job of not letting the course get burnt during the recent drought and heat wave It's a good dollar value and a challenging course. Easy to walk . Hidden gem

Greens are all terrible,diseased and in verny poor condition. The sand traps have no sand, they are dirt and rock traps. Fairways and tee boxes are ok. It's a shame such a nice course lay out isn't not properly maintained. No rangers to keep up the pace of play either. The place is cheap enough to play otherwise it would be a total disaster.

This is my home course and I love everything about it... except hole 6,7, and 13. I give it 5 stars but you will not like it. So stay away, especially around 4:30pm when I like to play.

Play golf here regularly. They have made a number of improvements to the course. Including adding an irrigation system to rectify the course drying out during the summer months. Reasonably priced and decently challenging. Worth a play.
