This is a nicely maintained, family friendly 9 hole course. Children and beginners are welcome so long as excessively slow players let faster players play through. Tee times are not required, but if there are chldren or beginners in the group, a call ahead to find a time when the course is less crowded, is recommended. The course is not excessively long, but the neighborhood homes along the right of each fairway, make the course seem tight, especially for a right handed golfer with a tendency to slice. However, the local rule to take one stroke and drop where a ball goes out of bounds, gives golfers who stray out of bounds a break over the standard stroke and distance rule. A large irrigation pond comes into play on the left on holes 6 and 9, but there are no water hazards that must be crossed during normal course of play.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
