Cart Path Nightmare

The course is great but the cart paths are so violently bumpy that a can of soda will be empty by the time you reach the green and you’ll be on the phone with your chiropractor. This course would be a true gem if they ever fixed the cart paths.

90 yr old Fivesomes!!

Fun course, decent conditions for winter, great price, good staff. Round was ruined by a fivesome of 90-year-olds ahead of us that would not allow us to play through. When we went around them, they yelled and screamed at us. Pretty sad that a nice course like this would allow that to ruin the day for everyone.
