Wonderful conditions
The course is in fantastic shape - greens were smooth and quick. Pace was great and kept moving. Staff were really friendly and helpful as it was our first time out. Will definitely be nack
Great course (still early in season)
Played the Lake course, met very nice players - another single, and a father-son double). Was advised not to walk, but walking might have been strenuous but not prohibitive.
Still early in the season, tee boxes and fairways haven’t greened up yet. Pace of play was great. Parking lot about half full, but course was almost empty - only saw a couple behind us once. Played in under 4 hours. Only disappointment was the grill room - no real grill room on Sundays. I get that things are still opening up, but having more than cold dry pre-made sandwiches would have been nice. Round ended at 3:30ish and the grill and bar were closed - had to run home to watch the end of The Players. Overall, a very nice course and great day. Hope it’s all open on Sunday next time.
RTG Sr. Course
First time and found the course layout to be excellent. Conditions were fantastic at this time of the year (March). Greens were excellent and can’t wait to see how fast they can be during warmer weather. Love the terrain as it was hilly and several holes along the lake.
Tiny elevated greens
It might have just been the conditions but I wasn't overly impressed by this track. Course was very wet and they don't overseed so it was all brown. Windy, overcast, 50 and cloudy probably didn't help. Most approaches are uphill to small elevated greens. About 6 of the holes are great. I might give it another shot in better conditions.
Great layout!
Great layout! Challenging, but fair. Definitely makes you think about each shot. Can’t wait to play it again in the spring after it greens up!
Nice course, super fast greens
I would give this course 5 stars but the two drawbacks for me were 1) no starter and we had to wait 20+ minutes after our tee time to begin the round. And the round took 4:45 hrs 2) practice area is very small and due to the time of year we needed to hit off of mats.
The layout was nice, the course was in great shape and the greens were slick. It's worth a trip.
Beautiful course in great shape
We thoroughly enjoyed our round on the Lakes course. The staff was exceptional and the course was in great shape. We’ll be back!
Tale of Two Nines
Having played the Creek course, I was anxious to try the Lake course as I'd heard it was even better. During the reasonably mundane although pleasant front nine, except for a couple of par 3's with water, I wondered what the fuss was all about. Well, I found out on the back nine. The holes on the lake were picturesque and the other holes were imaginative, hilly, and tough. Unless you hit it 240 plus off the tee, you probably don't want to play from the Blues (found this out the hard way). Course in great shape for mid-November. Pace of play was excellent except for a couple of members who decided they were entitled to play slow as mud while not waving anyone thru.
Signs
The course is great to play! The only thing that I found to be an issue is directions. The signs need to be brighter and more apparent. Its very confusing and frustrating as to where to go. I ended up on creek side on the 4 th hole when I should have been playing lake side. My score card was for lake but ended up golfing the creek.
Everything else about both courses is Fantastic !.
Maybe a map would help.
Awesome course
Everything was awesome. Just got stuck behind a slow group.
Fivesome slowed play
We were welcomed and directed to the practice areas. We played the front nine in one hour and 40 minutes and were enjoying the course layout . As we made the turn we were surprised to see five players on the 10th fairway. Since there were no players behind us , we assumed that we would be waived through . This did not happen . After 2 hours we called the golf shop and were told that the five players were most likely members and "they can be very difficult " .We expressed our displeasure to one of the five players who retreated back to our tee box in search of his golf towel. He seemed not to care about making us wait for every shot on every hole on the back nine , let alone acknowledging the inappropriateness of playing in a group of five . After the round , I stopped in to the Pro Shop to express my displeasure . I was informed that this group had not checked in.....This is no way to encourage outside play. What had started as a very enjoyable round ended with 2.5 hours of waiting for no real reason other than the rudeness of supposed members and the lack of response from the golf shop .
The course is a class act
Beautiful scenery, well manicured, greens immaculate, bunkers strategically located, white fluffy soft sand, fairways perfect. I played the blues and found them challenging for a 70 year old 46/44.The Championship tees look very intimidating. Amazing course will definitely play it again and tackle the big boys tees eventually.
Peaceful traditional course
I played the course on a weekday a day after a rain. There were not many other golfers out.
The course is long enough and has enough tees so you can control the challenge level. However, not a lot of time wasted looking for golf balls if you miss the fairway.
The course is traditional in layout, but has some interesting holes too. Especially because of hills. It is a beautiful place. This is my second time here and I'll be back.
Great experience
The Lake course is in great shape although a little rain would help. Played as a single mid-dayand didn't wait a second!
