Golf course is fun while being challenging. Probably should have taken the marshall's advice and moved up a tee box. Still it was fun. Greens were very very fast but in great condition. Will certainly play this again.

Reviewed By davebU933VU - Seguin, United States

Amazing family friendly time. This is a family run business. The owner, his wife, and their kids are all amazingly friendly and pleasant. The experience they provided couldn't be better. My 7 year old was able to ride his own horse led by the trail guide and my 8 year old daughter was able to ride her own horse by herself. The horses are all very calm and it was a GREAT time.
