$31 (cart not included), played on Tuesday, October 2018 at 9:45 AM
Got a 9:45am tee time but with the previous wet conditions the course has taken a big step backwards. It was cart path only so I chose a push cart and for $32 away I went. Played with two locals Bob and Shooky that kept apologizing for conditions saying “You should have been here in July” and I wished I would have. I’ll start by saying the 18 hole layout is off the hook for challenging you from the tips at 3,038/3,199yds / 70.1 / 126 Par 35/35. The rolling tree lined fairways, framed each hole beautifully and made them quite challenging where they lacked in distance. The Greens we’re good sized but had aeration recently and with the bare spots, affected the putting greatly. Rough was thick and played 3-5” deep that made advancing the ball, challenging to say the least. Ended up shooting 41/42 w/34 putts on this “Pick, Clean and Place” sunny day, that beat working or house chores. Call ahead and ask about course conditions before making the trip to play here.
Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Worse than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
