I took my father there when he was in town. I called twice the night before to get a tee time and twice that morning. No one answered the phone on any of the four attempts. We took a chance and showed up. We were able to get on but we were told we had to play 18. Since my father was only in town for a short time we just wanted I get 9 in quickly. We agreed and packed our cart. They had nothing open to buy any kind of drinks, not even water. We set out and couldn't find a starter so we just asked a couple of guys sitting near the first hole if they were going out, they said no go ahead, so we teed off. The fairways were ok, the greens were fairly good, but the rough was so thick you couldn't even find you ball let alone hit out of it. I would expect these kin of roughs as a Pro-am event. Half of the holes weren't marked and there were no yard markers. All in all not a great experience. The good news, I was able to play 18 withy dad.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line:
Price
Condition of Course, Layout, Ambiance, Food/Bar Facilities
