Great $50 walk. Fescue is overly penal. Impossible to find the ball even if it’s six inches in, despite the fescue being only a couple inches tall. I don’t need to be able to play it but I’d like to at least find it when i know exactly where it went

Very solid track. Played it in a tournament and had a great mix of short par 4’s and hard holes. Punches above its weight for a public track.

Great conditions and some cool holes. However, thought some of the holes were very basic as well. I’m from Illinois but if I come in to the area, I’d rather play Hawks View for a similar price. Some may disagree with that but I think it’s the better layout

I think would be higher if played during the peak season and not mid October. Still a great track with some challenging holes. 1 and 2 are probably the hardest starting holes I’ve played. Great set of par 3s and some long par 5s. Going to need to revisit

Great public course, great conditions and fun course. Staff is incredible and provides an awesome club house experience. The cart paths and bunkers need major upgrades.

Layout is great besides one dumb par 5. Easy to get around the course. Condition has declined steadily but I still like it here. Finishing hole makes for a good end to the round.
