Course Description
This links-style course features water hazards, sand bunkers, and moguls incorporated throughout its entire design. The fairways are narrow, and the greens are multi-tiered. Overall, water hazards (lakes) come into play on five holes. A computerized irrigation system ensures plush fairways and greens. Holes 9 and 18 share the same lake hazard, and both are great finishing holes. The beginning par 5 hole finishes on one of the highest points of the course with a great view of the surrounding countryside. #13 is a 165-yard, par 3, featuring an elevated tee that drops fifty feet to a creek on the semi-island green highlighted by the woods in the backdrop. The finishing par 5-hole number 18 presents an interesting dilemma on the second shot. Go for the green in two over 180 yards of water? Or try and follow the very narrow strip of fairway around the water, which is bordered by dense woods? As Clint Eastwood once said: "Are you feeling lucky?".

Great value, great conditions, and a nice layout with some pretty views. The owner is also extremley nice and makes it a pleasure to come there. One of my top 5 favorite places to play for sure.

Great value course. Course and greens are kept in good condition, and the staff is very friendly every time. Good luck on #5, #8, #10, and the tough 18th. Nice views. Just a nice course for the price. Better values than both Wildwood and Lima if you are headed south at all.

For the price, you cant get any better. Very nice, challenging course. Along with the 9th and 18th hole being very tough holes, the uphill slight dogleg right Par 5 10th, is the hardest hole besides the 18th on the course. Great value, and an enjoyable 18 holes of golf.

The 9th and 18th holes are a couple of the hardest holes you'll ever play... I'd recommend you play with someone who knows the course the first time, as there are some blind shots and hidden hazards. If you're a decent golfer, give the blues a shot. The course layout is fantastic! For 20 something bucks, it's a winner!
