Golfed today and it was awesome!! The course is looking good. New groundskeepers and it shows. Front desk staff friendly and welcoming! Give it a try this year…. You won’t be disappointed.

Played 18 here today for the first time in decades. I felt it was a great value to walk for $20. Ultimately, I think this course is underrated compared to other courses in the area based on overall listed rating.. Hard to find a more picturesque layout. Fairways were in great shape, greens seemed recently aerated, but otherwise were fine. More interesting holes than most courses in this area at this price point. I’ll definitely be back to play this more often next year.

This course truly is beautiful! The staff is friendly, the greens are well maintained and the driving range is the only one in town. The front nine holes are challenging but not too hard for a beginner like me who got a birdie on the 7th hole first time there. The golf carts come with a ball and club cleaner attached with 4 cup holders. There is a collared shirt policy for the course so be mindful of that. Can’t wait to go back!

Usually well-manicured and usually easy to get on without a tee time. Darleen and Darla (the Border Collie in the pro shop) are always glad to give good customer service. Also, good price if walking 18 holes.

It's an unplayable golf course. The lowlights:
1) The trees are so overgrown that you are supposed to hit through windows that the far majority of golfers are not capable of hitting through. They can call this a "challenge" if they want to, but the fact is that it's just trying to get away with no maintenance. Keeping trees trimmed is expensive.
2) The tee boxes are in terrible shape. They use solo cups that were filled with concrete for tee markers. They only have 2 sets of tees which are not much different. They are lumpy and unkempt.
3) The bunkers have been converted to grass (again, maintenance). That would normally be no problem, but they are some kind of half sand/half grass. If you are playing real golf you are going to play it as it lies and you have no idea how to hit the ball properly out of them.
4) There's ground upheaval everywhere. Some of it is marked GUR, some of it is not. The area between hole 4 and 5 in particular is awful.
5) It's expensive. Almost $40 to play 18 with a cart. That would be an acceptable rate if it was in good shape - it is not. If you want to see a course that is working on their course and charging $40, look at The Ridge. It's worth it in that case. Anything locally is better: Elk Valley, Erie, Scenic, Venango, just go anywhere else and you will be happier.
6) They have a range, but the range balls have to be literally 40 years old. Cut up, beat up, not even worth hitting.
The good in fairness: The fairways and the greens. But considering the above, it doesn't help matters much. A complete avoid under the current ownership - they simply think it's worth much more than it really is.
