Great shape and course. Have played the blue and the white course. Both challenging.

Beginners have no chance on this golf course. If you can score 89 from the gold tee box markers you're within 20% of the top golfers in the state. This is a real golf course that challenges you in every hole. I love this course

Waited in line for one hour to get my child’s hand waxed just to be declined by the rude employee. Other than that occurrence we had a great time at the family on the fairway event and had a blast!
