First timer and knew I was in trouble when at check-in the woman confirmed we were walking and then said "God luv ya". I quickly learned the sentiment behind the comment. Long holes and steep hills - I would take a cart next time. Still, it was a fun course and good condition. Interesting holes with a few blind ones.

Really fun course. Just the right amount of challenging holes mixed with generous forgiving holes. Don't let the run down clubhouse, beat up carts and unorganized parking lot fool or deter you from playing this scenic course. Well worth the $72 for 18 holes & cart. Friendly staff!

Haven't played the course in a while and today I was pleasantly surprised at the overall condition! Fairways, greens and tees in great shape! Pace of play was perfect. 18 holes in just under 4 hours teeing off at 7am on a Saturday. We will be back !

One of the most challenging courses in the area. Greens have improved over the years and are rolled and true. The crew has been working on irrigation this year upgrading what seems like all the heads. Some holes are low lying so drainage is naturally an issue like any other course. I hope bunkers are next on the list for rehab? Over all great shape for a muni that has a lot of play. Bruce and Sue and the entire staff is doing a great job with this old gem. It should only get better and better.

Great fun on the course. There are too many wet areas that do not drain well. The course looked good, but they obviously had a cavitation issue with their green mower blades. The ball bounced. Breakfast was not that appealing.
