The course is hard to talk about. The day I played it was a fantastic day. mid 60's temp and just rained in the morning. This course is a true back to the past experience. Don't think fancy, think rural and empty. Played 18 holes on Sunday and the clubhouse wasn't open. About 4 cars in the gravel lot, had to pay in a locked mail box. The green fees were $5 each. What a great place to take a new golfer. The community of Minier is 3 miles away and the course is nine holes. It is impossible to get off the fairway. It is all fairway. That doesn't mean it is Agusta. The Spring time and Fall time is great. The forward tees are perfect for someone who wants to learn to play golf. For the 9 handicap I have there is pleanty to challange me. The beauty is in the eyes of the beholder here. I recommend the place to anyone who wants to show a begining golfer how to play. There are sufficent trees and creek to spice up the round.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
