Fun layout. Fast true greens! Visiting from out of state so had no awareness of the course, just the reviews.

The ladies enjoyed it too!

Played in right at 4 hours. Had a great time!

Would recommend to anyone!

GHIN: 5.0

Not a great experience all together, they pack people together so insanely tight that you are three groups deep on every tee box. Hit into a couple bunkers and everyone I hit out of had a concerning amount of glass. Course was fine but our 1pm tee time was cut 4 holes short because it got too late

It's a great links course. Fairways and greens are in decent shape, fun challenging designs. My only comment is tee times are too close together. I will definitely come back next time I am in town.

I have been here a couple times with my husband and a few friends. I was willing to put up with the microwaved meals served in the clubhouse because it’s a local spot with reasonable prices and a decent course. However, I would recommend caution if you plan on interacting with the woman who works at the front desk. Unfortunately not only is she rude when doing something as simple as requesting a refill, she also refuses rain checks when there is adverse weather. They tend to choose what is most convenient for them at the time rather than sticking to standard policies. For example, my husband was told on a previous trip that they did not do cash refunds and only provided a rain check. This time, we asked for a rain check when unexpected rain hit the area, and we were told that we had to pay the full cost of 9 holes and they would give us a refund of $11 per person. However, if we ever choose to come back (I won’t) we would have to pay another $30 each to play another 9 holes. The math ain’t mathin. I guess we’ll just have to take our business to the Preserve - we have always felt respected there and the food is way better!

I really liked this place and the price was right. The training facility of the Pittsburgh Pirates was adjacent to it so maybe you can get a few sightings in spring training?

I was first off so three of us got around in 3.5 hours.

I gave it a 4 stars because some of the greens had bare spots, but don't let that stop you. It is a full length course with plenty of water and sand.

This place is great. Greens were a little quick bc so dry. It's tough getting in 18 b4 dark with a slow foursome ahead of us, but we did it. I've never closed a golf course b4😅

Course has been improving. Wish they would consider gps on golf carts. May help speed up some of the slow play.

Course is reasonably priced and super fun! Staff was friendly and helpful, kept us hydrated during a hot summer round, and told us exactly what to expect with the course and conditions. Would recommend this to any skill level golfer
