First Time Playing

Great course!!!!

First time playing this course and it's in great shape. Greens are nice and firm and many undurations and slopes and mostly elevated so you have to land the ball in the green. Would love to play this course again.

Tee time discrepancy

I booked the course for 9:48am, but the course had me booked at 10:20am, with no explanation for me and my buddies. I guess their non-member players don’t mind standing around an unexpected extra 40 mins before playing. If they had a restaurant or bar, I suppose we might have indulged, but they do not.

Hot weather
Used cart

I have never been on a course that needed a marshal like this one did. Foursome in front of me constantly blocked the front of the green with thier carts. Then after putting would walk back to carts clean clubs etc. then drive away after a 5 to 10 minute time period. I would never return, and I sure as %$#* would recomend it. no matter how nice the course, ifthe locals as #$%&&^^ I don't need to be there.

Nice course...just not for me though

Greens are ridiculously fast.. Never 3 putted so many times in 30 years of playing golf. Fairways are in good condition but on many of the holes if you're not dead center in the fairway you're hitting on a down slope, up slope or side hill lie.

Slow Day

Started as a group of 4, but 2 of us broke way because we played at a faster pace. No body was really in front of us and the other 2 behind could play at a relaxed pace. Course was pretty empty after 1300 and we took our time, slow day.
