Well-maintained course. Greens are tricky but true. Clubhouse folk are friendly. Get an early tee time, grab a big sausage egg and cheese on a roll, a coffee, enjoy a great morning and be home for lunch -- even on Saturday! A little frost only postponed a great round by less than an hour....

Very beautiful course to play. Nice fairways, beautiful green, well maintained. Its really fun to play here, staff is very nice and helpful. Beacause of coronavirus, they display safety messages all around, hand sanitizer and they cleaning the carts after the player finish the rounds. Definitely will go back.

Played this daily-fee track more than 2 years ago (05/14/2022) as part of APT Golf Tour's annual leg.
Scored an 85 (+13) on a Par 72 course, good enough for a win in my division.
My round included a memorable hole-out Birdie from the rough 40+ yards away using a 52 degree wedge on hole # 13.
Fairways were in good shape with no wet or bare spots.
Greens ran true.
The course is walker-friendly with no obstructions (ropes, stakes, etc.)

The Tee Boxes and Fairways are in great condition. Greens were aerated within the past week and were excessively bumpy and unruly. The rough was in good condition. Bunkers were in good condition, but the sand was pretty shallow and rocky.
The back is more visibly inspiring, but also more challenging.
Swan Lake is nice public track close to the split between the North and South Forks. It features wide fairways, but trouble in many forms keeps this course at an honest challenge.

My daughter and I visited this course today as beginners, and unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. When we arrived, I explained that my daughter had clubs but no bag. The staff at the counter kindly lent us a bag, which I appreciated, but they failed to mention that I would need my own set as well.
Once on the course, we were immediately met with hostility from an older staff member who scolded us for taking too long because there was supposedly “a long line of people waiting behind us.” Wanting to be considerate, we skipped the hole, only to discover later that there were just four people waiting.
Soon after, the same staff member confronted us again, this time criticizing us for not having a second bag—even though we had already explained that we were beginners and unaware of this requirement. Instead of offering guidance or helping us learn, he chose to berate and embarrass us until we felt we had no choice but to leave. His tone and remarks toward my young daughter were especially inappropriate and unacceptable.
Golf should be a welcoming and encouraging sport, particularly for beginners and families. Sadly, our experience here was the complete opposite. If you are new to the game, or a woman seeking a supportive environment to learn, I would strongly recommend choosing another course.
