Traveling through this area and decided to stop in and give this unique ten (10) hole, Dick Price designed/built course an review. The course was built/run by the Price family until 1975 when it was purchased by the Eccleton family who are still running it today.
It's a nice flat layout that is broken up by tree/berm lined fairways, smaller sized soft unprotected greens that putt very true. Each hole has a nice sign showing the hole layout and tee yardages. Yardages makers are the familiar colored sticks down the middle of the fairways with no yardage blocks on the Par 3's, being my pet peeve.
The first nine (9) holes play 2,590yds / Par 34 with the tenth (10) hole a straight away 250yd / Par 4, being the "Tie-Breaker/Betting" hole to finish off the round. I had an enjoyable 9 hole walking round for $11 shooting 34/14putts for 9holes and a Par 4 on the 10th hole. Worth stopping in and playing an enjoyable, feel good round at a hometown friendly golf course.
Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing, Ranks with the best in this price level
