★★★★☆ 4.0 Ellen Goodall · Feb 2026

Winter only: open for XC skiing and other snow fun. Groomed 2 mile loop for both classic and skate. Snowshoeing is also available and dogs are allowed. The clubhouse is open with restrooms and rental shop. No admission cost for 2025-2026 season, but also no snowmaking abilities. An excellent little spot to have nearby. Reviewed Feb 2026

The course isn’t bad for a local municipality but the conditions can be a bit hit or miss, in think. When we played I thought it was in pretty tough shape with a lot of ball marks on the greens and beat-up tee boxes. Luckily we played early in the morning and managed to get around the course in a reasonable amount of time. Nice clubhouse terrace for a beer and wings after the round.

This was my first time playing this course, and the conditions were quite good. It looked like a tournament had been held yesterday, which caused some delays with the tee times. The front nine was crowded, and it took me about 2 hours and 30 minutes to get through. Two of my playing partners decided to leave—one after hole 3 and another after hole 9. The group ahead of me was playing very slowly, but they left after hole 10. Suddenly, the back nine was completely open, and I finished it in just 30 minutes. What an interesting experience! It would be better if the pace of play can be faster.

Best Muni i think I've played in over a decade. I'm currently a 12ish handicap and this back nine was tough but fair. Probably will do better next time as a lot of shots were blind. I hit mainly a mix of 3 through 6 iron off the white tees and was about 130-160 out. Not excessively long. But fun with doglegs, bunkers, elevated greens, challenging landing areas, etc. Kept me on my toes and forced me to get creative a bunch. You'll find a few areas that are being repaired, especially after big rains. Don't fret. Pull out your Texas wedge, kick the ball 10 feet, and go back to dominating your friends. The rest of the group was a 25+ handicap and they had a blast with no issue still scoring in line with their abilities. Beautiful views, greens rolling well, cart girl visited 3 times during

Hidden gem, and working on renovations. This place isn’t gonna blow you away but it’s like old reliable. The clubhouse also has incredible food
