It's an okay course.

Play this course often, but each time the condition has gotten worst. The fairways were wet and some were bare wet dirt We played behind a fivesome, and they were really slow. we waited on almost every hole. In addition, there was a threesome constantly up behind us.

Don’t play here

Course was in terrible condition. Tee box was terrible. Fairway grass was very long, no difference then the rough. The bunker had no sand. Use to be a nice course but unfortunately it has fallen to this terrible condition.

Hurry up and golf

Although it was still a little dark when we teed off I was having fun up until the turn. My group was the first one out and we were on pace for 15 min per hole. As we made the turn someone from the front desk asked us if we could pick up the pace a little. Keep in mind the groups behind us we're barely teeing off on the ninth hole. My friend and I were unable to get drinks and snacks at the snack bar because there was a line and we now felt that we had to pick up the pace. We picked up the pace and I was playing a little more decent then around the 15th hole the Marshall comes around and says you guys got a hundred plus golfers behind you you might want to pick up the pace there's two wide open holes right in front of you. I asked myself if this guy's ever played golf before because of course there's holes open in front of us we were the first group out. Keep in mind we are still making a faster Pace than 15 minutes per hole. Again the group behind us is barely getting to the tee box while we're on the Green. This kind of ruined our day and our round. Had fun for the most part but the staff doesn't know diddly about how to manage the course. Unless you're a speedy golfer or professional that birdies every hole, don't golf here.

SLOWWWWWWW

Greens are horrible for putting (basically just extensions of the fairway which are great as long as you’re not putting)

Slow golf carts with no good

Course water fountains had stagnant water sitting in them

Staff was super friendly.

If there’s no other tee times available, go for it but it’s not worth the cost IMO

Fix your ball marks

I don't know why there are so many people that do not fix their ball marks! Then their the first to complain about conditions.

12:29 tee time. 16 played by 6:00pm

Was hopeful for a good day of golf. Starting at 12:29pm you expect to finish the round. By 6:00pm we had been fighting dark and decided to call it off having played sixteen holes (16). Groups in front are way to slow and don’t get sped up. Heard that the 7:20ish group finished their round at 12:29 what gives.

Overbooked

It seems like every time we play here there’s a long wait as if they have overbooked. It takes us an average of 5 hours to play a round here. We waited on every hole and the par threes usually have three groups waiting on the tee.
