3.6 out of 5 from 235 golfers.

Left by people who booked this tee time through us and played it.

Course was wonderful! Friendly staff. I highly recommend this course

Hudsom, Lynchburg

Course conditions were poor with tee complexes having little if any grass. Rain checks were extremely hard to acquire after rain forced us to give up the round.

Ashworth, Union

A good challenge, creative layout.

Joe, Solvay

Unfortunately a rain-out day but staff were great and helped us get rainchecks which we used later in day under slightly better rain conditions for 9 holes

William, Whitinsville

Good course but not on a level with others.

Ken, Salisbury

Funky layout through neighborhoods. Liked the course though.

Andrew, Oxford

Very nice course. The folks were nice and helpful.

Gordon E, Lake Ronkonkoma

Course was not in best of shape, again maybe due to weather, but it was okay. Of the 4 courses we played, the 4th best condition wise.

Kirchner, Salisbury

By far the nicest of the 4

Uitermarkt , Tiffin

Loved the course, and layout. Course was in great shape and the staff were awesome!

Keith, Lakeland

Great course. Layout was fun. Only downside is the 3 spot hitting mats into a net as a range.

Mark, Leesville

Exceptional staff. Great, beautiful, course. Tim and Larry exceptional to deal with. Great team - Great course

Warren, Fuquay Varina

Booking us a course in that condition was pretty outrageous. In other circumstances, I’m sure it would’ve been a great course.

Zach, Bowling Green

Initial booking of the trip we were told that the scheduled dates for aeration were already determined, and our courses would not be affected while we were there. A week out on Instagram I saw that this course got punched. Craig said that he was going to look into it and let us know if we would need to switch courses reach back out to Craig several times and never got an answer. The course was also running a special at reduced rates which we did not get to take part in because we already paid full. These greens were in very questionable shape and would’ve been nice to be able to play a different course considering we flow down to play top courses.

Laytart, Maumee

Pretty good condition. Good golf course. Would recommend.

Eric, Marysville

Nothing fancy, just ok.

Burbank, Melissa

Great playable course and good service.

Jordan , Port Hope

Enjoyed the course

Joseph, Vienna

Very dry and hard to play

Christopher

Had afternoon tee time and a little backed on the box so maybe over booked. Good course, not great.

Eric, Wilmington

Enjoyable course

Pitts , Wilmington

It has a great layout, but the fairways are too sandy! I wouldn't want to play it in the future!

kenneth, poland

Course received a ton of rain the night before we played that stopped about 30 minutes before tee time. But midway the front, the course had drained very well

Charles, Roanoke Rapids

OK condition, not as good as past years

George, Maysville

Condition of course fringe areas could be in better shape. Lots of hard pan.

Alan

Some very unique and interesting holes. I was told the switching over of seed explained some thin spots, but we liked this course.

John, Gilford

a pathetic excuse for a golf course that’s like playing in a hard-pack dirt field with a bit of grass thrown in. horrible!

Rick, houston

Worst course conditions I have played in many years. A lot of dirts spots around the fairways, greens were sandy, hard pan around the greens on many holes. Mats at practice area decaying. Sand traps not maintained.

Michael, Massillon

I'm sure this club has it's supporters, but they are mostly farmers.

Jack, Marietta

Terrible course cow pasture

Glen, Fayetteville

Challenging course with lots of waste bunkers. If they aren't to your liking.. don't hit there !

Mike, Brampton

Not in as good of shape as Willbrook Plantation or True Blue, but still a very nice outing.

Burt, Amherst

No range and worst green condition we played.

Mark, Pembroke

Did not play, got rained out

Brian, Cape Coral

Average. So many players. Hard to keep it up.

Albert

Wasn’t crazy about all the waste area but overall it was really good

James

Moins bonnes conditions que la dernière fois que nous l'avions joué. Décevant.

Carol, Beaumont

Disappointing, the waste bunkers get tedious

Robert , Old Orchard Beach

People talked down this course. It was a pleasant surprise. Several character holes that would be hard to forget.

Brent, Abingdon

Course in general was in very bad condition

Steven, Fallston

Very nice course , everyone on staff is friendly.Course in great shape

Tony, Selden

Great place! nice layout and people!

Mark, Durham

Very dry conditions.

Joseph, Canp Hill

Course condition was good. Staff friendly. Course layout, with driving over multiple roads to get to next hole is biggest negative.

Tim, Mechanicsburg

Shot my best round here. No complaints.

Edward, Thornhill

Most of these courses were in rough shape, one really bad - all sand and one was nice - I forget which ?Avocet maybe.

Marc, Guelph

Fun course to play a 2nd 18 at. A little lacking on the maintenance side.

Andrew, Suffolk

from starter to finishing in the grill, everyone was exceptionally nice. course was in excellent condition tee to green

Geoffrey , Elkton

This course was dry with too many hardpan surfaces. Our group is very unlikely to choose this course again.

John, Grand Rapids

Too much sand and dog legs as well as tight fairways. It would be helpful to provide distance to the turn on the dog legs from the tees.

John, Chambersburg

Greens too slow

Thomas, Chambersburg

Grass wasn't fully grown in

Andrew, Palatine

Not in same league with other 3 courses. Waste bunkers for cart paths. Limited and confusing signage. Dead-pan grass on fairways. Carts in disrepair. Grooming around and in pot bunkers was poor. Like the architecture of the layout, but would never play again.

G Paul , Perkasie

Was not happy with this course. The people were great, but the course was not in good shape.

Michael, Brookfield

Course was not in good shape and a little gimmicky for my liking.

Patrick, Cincinnati

Conditions below average and cart routings on public roads was concerning

Joe , Hoffman Estates

Not in the best shape and a little too narrow. Hard to use driver.

Arun, Barrington

Average course, in good condition

Tom, Myrtle Beach

Too many waste areas

Patsy, Charlotte Hall

Needs a little TLC
