"The pool here is great, though expect lots of kids and a very energetic environment. The golf course is well maintained, and they have nice staff. Overall, the community is very nice and it’s a great place to spend a hot afternoon, just be wary if poolside seating."

"This course lost all my respect after how they treated a group of respectful 15 and 16-year-old kids. Instead of guiding or giving a warning, the staff chose to yell at them, take their golf cart, and kick them off the course without a proper explanation. These young players were just trying to enjoy the game, and this kind of treatment is not only unprofessional, but completely inappropriate. A golf course should encourage young people to get into the sport—not humiliate and punish them. I am extremely disappointed And will be telling my friends not to attend. NOT PROFESSIONAL, DO NOT RECOMMEND THE GOLF COURSE"

"This is a private club and part of the National Elks organization. Good news is that this is a private club that only cost $500 a year. Includes a friendly lounge, restaurant, swimming pool and discounts on their nine hole golf course. And on top of bargain prices they do a great deal of charitable work for local youth activities."
