My fourth time playing the front nine of this course over a span of several years. The course itself is challenging enough for a serious golfer, offering water hazards, some tight holes, thick rough, and sand traps. It is generally quiet given its proximity to The Country Club and a major parkway. All that said, I would not describe any of the staff as friendly and the course seems to be in a constant state of repair (the par 4 9th hole was turned into a “par 3” today with no warning at the clubhouse before teeing off). The walk to the first tee is particularly uninviting; it is long, not shaded, and borders the driving range and maintenance equipment. This place is so close to five stars, but I’ve yet to have that experience.

Update course is still a work in progress for the 9 holes under construction. The greens were awful for end of May and it took 2.5 hours to play 9 holes with carts. Please increase start times from 10 minutes to 15 minutes! I really like this course because you can tell they’re putting effort into improving it with ongoing construction, but overall the experience fell short. The biggest issue is maintenance. The course conditions just aren’t where they should be for the nine holes they currently have open—fairways and greens felt neglected. I understand construction can impact upkeep, but it still needs to be better cared for in the meantime. Management was also frustrating to deal with. There was a frost delay the day I played, which is understandable, but communication around it was poor. We weren’t properly notified ahead of time, which led to unnecessary waiting and confusion. A simple heads-up more than 1.5 hours before a tee time is needed—especially since the grounds crew is there early anyway. I constantly had to go up and ask when our tee time had been changed to. There didn’t seem to be any clear system for notifying players of updated tee times during the delay. The

Winter only: open for XC skiing and other snow fun. Groomed 2 mile loop for both classic and skate. Snowshoeing is also available and dogs are allowed. The clubhouse is open with restrooms and rental shop. No admission cost for 2025-2026 season, but also no snowmaking abilities. An excellent little spot to have nearby. Reviewed Feb 2026

The course isn’t bad for a local municipality but the conditions can be a bit hit or miss, in think. When we played I thought it was in pretty tough shape with a lot of ball marks on the greens and beat-up tee boxes. Luckily we played early in the morning and managed to get around the course in a reasonable amount of time. Nice clubhouse terrace for a beer and wings after the round.

This was my first time playing this course, and the conditions were quite good. It looked like a tournament had been held yesterday, which caused some delays with the tee times. The front nine was crowded, and it took me about 2 hours and 30 minutes to get through. Two of my playing partners decided to leave—one after hole 3 and another after hole 9. The group ahead of me was playing very slowly, but they left after hole 10. Suddenly, the back nine was completely open, and I finished it in just 30 minutes. What an interesting experience! It would be better if the pace of play can be faster.
