Really nice course

I booked my tee time at 9:30a, but arrived earlier. Lucky for me It wasn’t busy and the staff member was nice enough to allow me to start without delay.

The course was in beautiful shape, only confusing part was some temporary construction on 17 and 18 that wasn’t disclosed at the start.

Otherwise really nice course, was nice to play at a quick pace.

Perfect weather

Walked

Holes 17 and 18 are Under Construction-not playable

No mention of this anywhere. No chance I pay $50 to golf in march, midweek on a course missing nearly 10% of it's holes....and the final 2 at that. I would like a refund but golfnow makes it really hard to contact them so I will air it out in the review portion of their website that is easily navigated to. Thanks

Early Spring

Played an early morning round early April. Course is expectedly still in need of more rain and maintenance this early in the season. 17th and 18th are Par 3s now due to construction but overall nice public course with good food.

2 holes are shortened and under constriction

No mention of this anywhere and the price doesn't reflect a course missing the final 10% of golf holes. 17 and 18 both unplayable.

Great day but

No food and only drinks in the clubhouse. A beer cart and or some simple food would have been nice since weather was so good.
