Course History:

This course was founded in 1952 and was designed for golfers that prefer a shorter game that is fun and not incredibly challenging. Most of the players here are women or seniors, but it is still well suited for a professional that just wants to brush up their game. The course has very narrow fairways so accuracy is definitely key.

What You Need to Know:

You can book your tee time by calling the number above, but at this time they do not have online tee times. However, they do offer specials on their website so we do recommend checking there first before you call. Although the prices are already quite low, you can save even more money.

This is a municipal course, so the dress code isn't as severe. However, we still recommend traditional golf attire and no denim. The course does not state whether they are a soft spike facility but we recommend these spikes just in case.

The pro shop is fantastic and is a licensed Titelist and Ping club fitter. The onsite grill has terrific food and can even provide a boxed lunch for your game. The clubhouse is a great place to relax after a game.

Playing Hints:

Although this is an easier course than some, you'll still need to be on your toes. The greens are very short, so working on your putting game is a good idea before you arrive. By the end of a round, you'll probably be a whole lot better at it since these do offer a bit of a challenge.

The first hole looks very easy, but you'll be shooting over the trees to make it to the green. We recommend a very strong tee shot to get the best results on this hole. The eighth hole is a double dog leg, and can be quite a fun challenge. Try to stay as close to the center of the fairway as possible. The tenth hole is considered to be the most challenging one on the entire course and has the reputation as being the narrowest fairway in the area. You'll really want to get a good tee shot to avoid getting stuck in the rough here.
