This is a nine-hole Executive Course but really satisfies the need for an afterwork twilight round almost anytime of year. Twilight fees are as low as $8.50 for local players. This is a walking course, no electric carts. It has the feel of a lovely city park, full of mature trees. Fairly straight-ahead layout but a nice mix of par 3's and 4's with a couple of 400 yarders. There is a coffee shop and the staff is generally pretty helpful. Hard to beat for an in-town course for price and convenience.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
