I went to this course twice in the past year. The first time was during February the course was in horrible shape. The greens were rolling slow and the fairways were all brown. The thing that made this visit most uncomfortable for me was the staff. They all seemed miserable at their job including one lady who checked me out in Pro Shop. She was a short pregnant lady and she could not be more rude. She barked orders at everyone around her and she barely had a smile when she checked me out. It was most uncomfortable to be around her. I vowed that day to never return to play golf there. However a buddy called me about a week ago to go for his bachelor party. I accepted hesitantly and returned to the course. But things had changed dramatically. The course looked a thousand times better and I was greeted by a much friendlier staff, I guess that had new managment there because it was a great improvement!

I got my rounds comped from the Casino and I would have to say it still was not worth the money. I did not really like the casino either. Other than they took care of my rounds with my dad. Course is boring. Flat. Greens were not in that good of shape. The Club house Sucks with no foor just a vending machine. They said that there would be a cart coming around with food and drinks but we never saw it, With all the great courses through out the state I will not be coming back here!

The course was fun overall. DO NOT go unless you are paying the twilight rate or just won hundreds of dollars at the casino. $120 is CRAZY to pay for this place. $45 is very worthwile and I would love to play here again. There are fancy amenities found everywhere and the layout is great. Plus, what a great name.
