Wow what fun. No to easy not too hard. Challenging in some spots. Appears to be well maintained. With the heat the greens were a little rough. But will definitely will be going back before we leave.

This was a beautiful course, the staff was so friendly and the facilities were very clean. We had a great family outing golfing.

I played with my son and really enjoyed it. The staff was friendly. The cost was very reasonable. The course was in decent shape considering the climate in south Texas. The multiple tee boxes actually challenged you from the gold. From the other tees it took some of the trouble out of play, which is what it is supposed to do for the weekend golfer. The indexing and handicapping on the scorecard seemed spot on. I hope the locals will come and support the golf course to keep it around for years to come. If you are from out of town come and check it out, it is worth the drive. I hope to get out there again in the future. If you are a walker, you will definitely get your steps in. Thanks for a fun day.

Absolutely love this community! My grandparents lived here for over 20 years and just loved the activities at the clubhouse and the fun with others people in the park. My grandfather golfed this course until he was 94 yo and then they named the tournament after him. We loved coming to visit them and going down to see the river and swim in the pool.
