The weather was perfect on the last day of the 2020 season. The marshal was super helpful in detailing some of the hole directional issues and that made our round very easy to navigate. The course was in good shape for November except for the bridges over water, which need replacing. The price was very reasonable. We had a great round!
This course is great bang for the buck. Generally not busy but starting to get popular. Greens were in great shape all season!! It's not a course for long bombers but you need to be accurate off the tee to score well.
Surprisingly fun course. Very friendly staff. Great prices. Tends to be very soggy in the morning, but worth trying out. First time we had excellent flow, second time we had a lot of problems with slow golfers and overly cranky older men being overly aggressive behind us. Marshalls could have been more focussed on keeping golfers moving.
The course is difficult to follow if you have never golfed here before.The bridges across the Jock River are sub-par and although there are steel beams across the river the wooden structures with rubber mats are very primitive and do not give you a confidence factor. Fairways and approaches are pretty rough .Greens are very well maintained and in excellent shape. The green fess are very well priced! This course has potential but needs 1- functional watering system for the fairways ,2- Redo the bridges both functionally and aesthetically 3- better directions from Fairway to fairway.
The course is undergoing some construction but they've lowered the prices considerably to more than make up for the inconvenience. Fairways are dry and brittle, but given the lack of rain this is to be expected. The greens were actually green, and in very good shape. Staff are super friendly and the beer cart came around often enough. There's a new golf pro this year, which I think is making a difference. Also noticed really cool new hand carved tee boxes. Nice touch! Hope to come back soon.
