gnats are a problem from mid day onward until cooler temps prevail

Layout is short but compensates with narrow fairways and small greens. If you're not hitting it straight, you'll lose a few balls.

Only a Par 70; a bit short from the white tees. You'll have to hit the tee ball straight to score.

Had a great time with my buddies, the back nine is very hilly and plays very differently than the front nine. Overall very worth it!

Great course, layout & condition. Challenging par 70. A steal at $45 including cart. Only negative was the pace of play very slow.

Nice public access course with some challenging holes. Fairways were in good shape and the greens were in great shape. The only drawback is that the management will tend to cram bargain tee times which can result in slow pace of play. Management should consider raising the greens fees by a few bucks and run fewer groups through per hour. We all realize that course operators live and die by bookings, but 6 hr rounds are not conducive to the game.
