Terrible rate of play- otherwise good

Took 4 hours to play 9 holes. Our fault for trying to play on a Saturday but that is egregious.

Staff was really friendly and helpful. Conditions were good not great.

Chucky cheese of golf

Young kids there with no golf edict or care of others. Went there on a Saturday late afternoon to have groups of kids out there chunking the course up with no remorse of anyone waiting behind them. Multiple groups playing with one set of clubs per foursome. In flip flops even on top of that. I am all for kids playing but the course is not a playground.
