Enjoyable Round
The course overall is in nice condition, the Fairways and Greens are in good shape. The only negative is the Tee boxes which were very thin and uneven, also always amused when the Tee box markers are placed on a slope.

Pace of play
The course itself is in good condition and is fun to play. The pace of play, was horrible! Took just under five hours to complete 18 holes at a par three course. There is no partial in the staff did not do anything to move groups along. Make sure your schedule is clear if you play in the afternoon. They should do a better job of moving groups along and keeping a better pace of play. Other than that, the course is fine.
