First Time Playing

Awesome Course, Slow Pace of Play

This was my first time to this course and wow was it ever a treat. The dramatic elevation changes, strategically placed bunkers and risk/reward shots make this course a welcome challenge. There is plenty of length for the long hitters off the back tees, so I would say this course is anything but tight.

Now the downside that has to be mentioned is the pace of play. Like most people, I’m no fan of most starters or roving rangers, but this course absolutely needs both.

Groups teeing off 20min early, 3 solos going off one after the other and not being paired together and a 2some playing 9 going off on the back leading to congestion are just a few things I witnessed. This caused my round to take 4hr50min on a Friday afternoon.

Overall I would say the course is an amazing track with spectacular views, just get a little structure to keep pace of play organized.

Front 9 was great back not!!

We had a great front 9. No one in front of us and we let a twosome go ahead of us then no one else directly behind us. We made the turn and there was one guy in front of us. He waited until the group in front of him were on the green to tee off. Then he hit 2 balls on every hole. We sat right behind him as he hit 2 balls a leisurely took off to find his two balls. It became so slow we quit after the 17th hole. We did report this to the clubhouse when we were on hole 13 and asked them if they let someone go out ahead of us and they were not helpful at all. Too bad they let someone start on hole 10 when people were making the turn.

6 hour round

Love the scenery. Nice layout. This course has plenty of challenges. But when I played there was a buildup of 8 carts per hole and it took 6-1/2 hours to get through 18.

Rude grounds crew!

The rude grounds crew following my group mowing from tee box to green for 3 consecutive holes was inexcusable. Extremely unprofessional!!!! Whatever I liked about the course was overshadowed by my experience with the 2 gentleman mowing the grass. Thanks for ruining my round of golf.

Great course for all

This course was so much fun to play. Truly a hidden gem! It’s a course that is fun for all types of golfers because how each golfer chooses to approach the hole. The skilled golfer has a good chance to achieve a great score by playing with some risk whereas the beginner or weekend golfer can have fun playing the hole the simplest and most straightforward way. Personally I shot one of my best scores here the first time I played it with a 79!
