Not to bad golf course, but it will most probably not meet your expectation. Allot of maintenance required. Good enough for a fun day out.

This place is so pristine it feels like Augusta and Disneyland had a baby, then hired Michelin-star janitors to raise it. Sure, it’s a bit pricey, but honestly, I half expected to be handed a Rolex at check-in, so no complaints. The golf carts? Basically luxury sedans with cupholders. The bunkers? Forget sand — they’re basically trimmed fairways sprinkled with angel dust. The staff are so knowledgeable and attentive I’m convinced they’re secretly trained by NASA and the Ritz-Carlton. Customer service? Through the roof — I wouldn’t be surprised if they offered to babysit my kids, walk my dog, or do my taxes mid-round. Honestly, I pray the PGA Tour never discovers this place, because then we’d all need scalpers to book a tee time. My golf clubs have never felt more at home. In fact, I think they’re filing a change-of-address form.

I’m not sure what I played, but it wasn’t golf. The fairways are overgrown and full of molehills, not just a few here and there, I mean actual mole housing developments. The greens (if you can even call them that) are basically just more molehills, slightly shaved down. I’ve seen smoother terrain on gravel driveways. The tee boxes look like something you’d find in a war-torn country. Patchy grass, exposed dirt, and a general sense of despair. I’ve been on hiking trails that are more level. Bunkers? Pick one: they’re either filled with weeds or hard as concrete. I tried to hit out of one and nearly broke my wrist. The ball bounced further than my drive. Would not recommend. Unless you’re a masochist.

For a municipal course it's well looked after. It could use some TLC but it is still very playable. The staff are friendly and it is very safe to play.
