I now live out of…read morethe area and haven't played there in a couple years, but I was really impressed with how far its come along when I was there this morning to play a round with my brother. The course was in amazing shape and they are in the process of adding a lot more to the practice area and they are working on running a cart path along all 18 holes. It's a little pricey, but seeing how they are doing what they can to make the course better, makes me feel like it's worth it to play there. They even have a PGA professional there now offering lessons and other coaching. I feel like they are doing a great job at being a great, more inexpensive option than going to Ivy Ridge or Arrowhead nearby. The course itself is beautiful and not too challenging. It offers a few challenging holes and there are no bunkers so it's honestly a great place for all skill levels.

Great course to play on however our Father's Day was almost ruined when a worker came to tell us we…read moreneed to play faster!! Now let me set the stage, we were behind a 3 some and every time we got to the next hole we needed to wait for them to finish. (Rightfully so as they were booked back to back) A gentleman rolled up when we were on hole 4, just finishing up, and proceeded to tell us to play faster, when I told him that we needed to wait every time we got to a hole for the gentlemen ahead of us to finish he was rude and told us we needed to just play faster and he said there was a hole between us and the next Players. We proceeded to finish that hole and got to hole 5 - a PAR 3 130 Yards!!! We finished that quickly and proceeded to hole 6 where we ended up waiting to once again play again!!! There was a twosome behind us that never caught up and had to wait for us so if we were delaying the game I think it would have been apparent if they were continuously waiting for us! I don't think this is acceptable behavior and will most likely never return! I get it's a busy day but as a worker know your audience, know what's happening and don't be rude to customers who have paid a good penny to play a round with 4 people on Father's Day!!! There are many many other courses to play that will appreciate business!!

We payed for 18 holes , but pace of play was so slow we only played 9 before dark , asked for rain check for other 9 , instead of giving us rain check they gave us 10 dollars back . Drove an hour to play here but couldn't finish because of 2 slow 4 somes in front of us. Will definitely not be going back . Layout was great , views are amazing , greens were destroyed , no Marshall to keep things moving . Whoever came up with the rain check system deserves money to be taken from his pocket.

The guy working the club house said it was in the best condition of all the area courses, and he was not kidding. He also said "in general, don't miss right" which was also partially true... but really, he could have just said "don't miss" and it would have been just as palpable. The course is not very long for the most part, but is well protected by hazards. These manifest as natural reeded marsh, ponds and creeks, large pot bunkers, and just general woods. Accuracy is at a premium over distance, I think I only hit driver off the tee three times, opting instead for 3 wood or 3i hybrid in the majority of cases. The greens were immaculate, true rolls and good speed. In general, the course was very well maintained, the staff kind, bathroom breaks convenient and clean, and the drink cart girl showing up right when you needed her services! The starter let us go as a twosome without having to wait and be paired up, yay! We also hit a small bag of balls on the practice range before the round, and found it to be in good shape as well. We would absolutely play this gem of a golf course again.

They are a part of the Tan Tara Golf Club. The venue is amazing. They say there are 3 things people remember about a wedding, the bar, the DJ and the food. As a non-drinker I can't give a personal observation on the bar but it did look busy and I thought the DJ was a bit loud and he did seem to keep the room jumping. I just want to review the food here. I don't know how familiar you are with wedding food but although good it usually isn't their best effort because they need to make so many meals at one time. Serving 172 dinners at the same time could be a problem. I'll start with the pluses. Between the ceremony and the dinner service, they set out "appetizers" that I could have made a meal out of. I actually had to restrain myself so I wouldn't fill up before dinner. There was shrimp, (always a favorite), broccoli balls, a cheese platter with a generous assortment of Pepper-Jack, Smoked Gouda, Swiss, Cheddar, and Provolone freshly cubed and served with assorted crackers and pepperoni, stuffed mushrooms, and other things I didn't have room on my plate to try. What I had was very good. After a short bit of socializing, it was dinner time. I had opted for the fillet for dinner and it was amazing. I chatted with Robert (?) the Executive Chef and told him how amazing the fillet was. He said the wedding party had upgraded the fillet to choice. Believe me it was worth it. When dinner arrived all my food was at the right temperature (a frequent problem at banquet halls). My wife got the chicken option and she said it was so tender she could cut it with a fork. I also had the vegetable medley and roasted red skin potatoes. There were also salad and rolls and butter. Overall it was a good meal with the meats holding center stage. What could use a little work were the vegetables that lacked pop that could have been easily provided by a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and the potatoes that were just that, potatoes. They needed a bit of flavor that could have been provided by a shake of garlic powder or Italian seasoning. Overall it was a great wedding and if anyone is going to have their wedding there, I will open up my schedule to attend. As a Banquet I give them an 8 out of 10 and will have to return for a private dinner soon,
