Public Golf course it has a driving range. It also has hey chipping range and also a petting range right next to the proShop. It has a nice little restaurant with some specials on the weekends. And they are available for private parties.

My sons love this place. We stopped in the Pro Shop and bought a gift card for driving range balls and it was a great deal. People were nice too. And they have a cool cat in the Pro Shop. 😺

Great 18 holes, not so difficult but a lot of trees along fairways. Fantastic location and city prices. It was a par 70 a long time ago, but a donation by a wealthy player allowed the extension to a par 72. A lot of birds and a very nice setup. Enjoy.

Every hole is a straight-away with very little variety. This wouldn’t be so bad if the course was in better shape but sadly this city-owned course has seen better days. No cart service, no drinking or smoking allowed, and restaurant was closed. Make sure to grab waters at the bar before heading out.

It's hard on a hot day like today because there's not much shade. The second shot is not easy because the fairway condition is not good. But the condition of the green and the area around the green were not bad. The speed of the golf process was not bad, so it was completed in four hours. Gulfkart had a hard time moving because of its weak battery. It is not easy to change the cart in the middle, so I recommend you check the battery once.
