Played here back in September 14, 2009 ($10 wlk)and was driving by here again 7 years later to see if anything changed, very little only $9 walking now. Wanted to play the new re-designed 9 that added about 300yds to it, but with the two (2) grey haired foursomes on the first hole I decided to play the back again. Walking 9holes the 2,258 yds / Par 32 / 107 / 63.6 (Par 65) only took 1hr 20 minutes and 34/16putts and I was back in the car. Fairways are still spotty with the greens being the only good thing as they were rolling smooth at 7-8 and held shots very nicely. Couple nice challenging holes with tree lined fairways, narrow cuts with hazards was better than hitting the driving range. Making the decision to hitting ONLY irons off the tee made the 300 yd par 4's more real and sometimes using the same club twice, great practice. Great layout for beginners and older people that still want to walk as it is walker friendly and keeping the driver in the bag, to work on your irons.
Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I won't play again, Better courses for less nearby, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
