$16 (cart included), played on Tuesday, January 2010 at noon
Played here 1-12-10, while on an emergency golf trip to get out of frigid and snowy conditions at home. Course is a nice, unassuming muni, located under the flight path in/out of Langley AFB, so in addition to playing golf, you can watch your tax dollars flying close overhead (F-15, F16, and F-22's: pretty cool). Three nines on the layout: I played Woods/Links. Design is decent, especially considering that the course is quite flat. Winter hasn't helped course conditions: fairways are uniformly beige, bunkers are solid, tee boxes like rocks, and greens quite rough. However, it's still golf, and better than what we're dealing with further north. Price was really good: less than $20 for the round with cart. Pro shop guy was very cordial and helpful, but the snack bar was CLOSED...boo hiss: not even a pot of coffee available. Course is walkable, and worth a look.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
