Views were amazing, course was difficult, but overall it does not look like the course is being well kept. Par 3 tee boxes are absolutely decimated, bunkers have less than 1/4" of sand plus baseball size rocks, and the carts are slow as hell. Absolutely not worth $140.

The only defense of this course seemed to just be growing the grass out weirdly long to protect pretty basic and repetitive holes. The highlight of this course had to be the greens. I think that uncle Donny did a good job crafting creative fun greens.

Really fun neighborhood golf course with solid pace of play and always has open tee times. The greens are always roll pure and the course makes you shape the ball multiple ways which is fun.

Fine golf course. I’d say it has 6 great holes, 6 average holes and 6 bad holes. Biggest knock on it is they overbook tee times leading to a lot of backup. Even with it being overbooked the greens and fairways are always in good shape

the course design is weird but in a fun way. probably could do a better job of mixing weird holes with more standard holes. if it is your first time playing it can be tough with a few blind greens and hidden creeks/water. overall the course was fun and the greens were challenging…

Like most of Ohio the land is incredibly flat and the routing does little to add life to it. Straight forward green complexes that lack much contouring or collection areas. The course has an artificial feel throughout and the routing feels forced at many places.
