    Had a good time here. Reviews almost scared me away. We finished in 3 hours. The greens were nice, as well as the fairway. Yes - it wasn’t the typical “beautiful” course. More like a park. But for the price $35, including the cart, I feel it was a pretty good value. It was honestly not that bad. I have been to a worse course that should not have been a golf course.

    Been playing here for 19 years very historic you can just imagine Tiger Woods playing here during his high school years. Very walkable and most times as quick as you want to go. Greens are kept in great shape. The staff is friendly has the neighborhood feel. Wonderful bargain.

    It was One of those last minute decision sort of thing; got on the course about 5:15pm, was still able to finish 18 holes. Even though it may not have the most leveled tee boxes, the greenest fairways, the truest greens, the nicest views, or just simply to the cleanest looking surroundings...what it does have are the greatest prices for a round of 18, on grass driving range, a chipping area along with 3 practice greens....that's by far exceed my expectations...
