This course is a nice little track that has potential to be much more than it is. It's definitely a fun little test for your irons since even a well struck tee shot doesn't necessarily mean an easy approach. Tee shots need to be absolutely precise. The fairways are well manicured for the most part. The tee boxes, however, are in desperate need of some TLC and nearly every green has multiple gouges that look like someone chunked a wedge. Also, and not necessarily the fault of the course, the location does not make for a great experience. I would much rather have the sounds of nature rather than traffic, construction crews and industrial plants. If you live in the area and have nothing else, it's a nice enough course but unfortunately, it's not quite worth the 30 minute drive...

I think the longest par 4 is around 350 yards, so the course plays about 4700 from the blues. Obviously is not long, but every hole is lined with large mature oak, hickory and ash trees, so there is plenty of trouble to get into. I like this little track, and it's always in decent shape, and like the small greens as well. Given all the par 3's it lets you work on some parts of your game that you don't often get to. Never had a bad experience here, and it's never too...
