Great condition

I've played this course quite a few times in the past 7 years. Friday was my first round at this course this year and I was very pleased to find the best conditions of any course I've played this year. The fairways were perfect as well as the greens. If you miss a putt at this course it's your own fault. I must say that I found the greens to be pretty fast this year but still in perfect shape. I hardly saw any ball marks. Only one negative thing happened to me...I got stung by a bee or wasp on the 3rd tee box. I was washing a couple of golf balls and gut stung on the finger of my right hand. Maybe that improved my game because I hit 90% of the fairways after the sting. All you golfers, look out for the bees on the ball washers.

We were told originally to play our round behind a 4 some of walkers, but at the turn we opted ourselves to play a different 9 than originally expected to make things faster and more efficient for our group

A little confusing...

This course has 27 holes and the staff didn't tell us which 9 to start with and which 9 to play after the turn. We had to research online to figure out where to go. Other than that, nice course.

First time on the Course

Great time on this course today. The fairways are tight but are in great shape. The starter was very friendly and my playing partners were very helpful in me navigating through the course. The course isn’t the longest and the layout isn’t the most difficult, but the rough will punish you for wayward shots. Greens were super slick but rolled true; it felt like putting on glass. The only negative is that the bunkers are more like dirt than sand. Would definitely play this course if you haven’t given it a try yet.

Very good course

This is a good course - the greens were fast. The course itself was good. The golf course needs to work on their driving range and practice greens. But overall good value for money.

Great course

This place has 27 holes. I played there on Father’s Day with my wife and 11-year-old daughter. We teed off at 7 AM without any pressure from behind. Everybody was kind and friendly and the course was in great condition.

10th hole

We are in overall satisfied with the experience at the course we played for the first time.

After having played 9 holes each of Valley and Prairie,
we were ready to play10th hole, which is Prairie's 1st hole
but they make us wait and let a new group of players in front of us.
Usually we look forward to a speedy pace for the last 9 holes to
make it in time for dinner.
The pace was not too but after that fortunately.
I guess this is a problem of a golf course with 27 holes,
