About the course
Moderately Hilly and Lightly Wooded. Great course, with fairways and pathways regularly maintained. Additional signage added at each hole in Fall of 2023, includes map of tee-box and layout to basket. Currently no concrete tee-boxes, but hopefully some in the future.
For first time players unsure how to get to the course:
You will not be able to drive up near the course as it is restricted access by car. However, it is just a short 3-5 minute walk. Follow the road in between the Mellinger Residence and The Loft, and go past the yellow gate (it might be closed for cars but you walk around it.) The path should go past a sand volleyball court on the right, and simply follow the road all the way up. Once you get out the wooded area, on the right side there is a large graveled area, and the first tee box has a sign and is near a large shed. Following along on the UDisc app would be helpful if it is your first time.

Course could use better drainage and some real tees. Otherwise it's a solid course, just with a very open and pretty easy design.

Good open course. Meadow style golf. Rough could be bad in the summer. Will play again.
