Much Better than Expected

Jordan checked us in and was very friendly and informative. Later on the course Steve drove out to introduce himself and ask the 5some in front of our 3some to step it up. The wait had been minimal up to that point, on the busiest day of the year. After that we never saw another person. Had a great time! We loved the layout; the greens were fast and in great shape and could see clear evidence of improvements in progress. All workers were more than accommodating and shut down their machines as we approached. We loved our experience and will certainly be back!!

Course is in good shape and the greens are a tad sandy and slow but rolling fine. The course could use a little more water but otherwise fun to play. Pace was right around 4 hours so that was great.

Poor conditions and horrible pace of play

A 5 hour and 45 min round - horrible! And even after complaining to the starter, all he could say is that they are busy. They never thought to have a marhall go out and monitor or consider spreading out the tee times a little bit. The greens were like the fairways, like crabgrass - nothing was consistent and un- fixed divots littered the green. Bunkers were not raked and bare spots all over the fairways. A great drive is rewarded with hard pan. If you don’t mind those conditions then this place is perfect for you!

An interesting course

It was my first time playing this course. For being in the middle of a city, it had more hills than expects. Then I learned the hills were train cars that had been buried several decades ago.

Poor Greens

Historically, always had good greens. New owner, bad greens. Different type of grass has grown onto the greens and the ball bounces and goes all over the place. You’re better off on temp greens.

Played fast but greens are horrible

They lost most of their greens to Kikuya Grass. They are also very slow.

But we played in less than 3.5 hours.

Poor management of tee times and check in’s

Was told the tee times were running on time and that was completely not the case. My tee time was for 10:17 and didn’t get off the first tee until 10:45 and freaking weekday. The pace of play was a joke. It took 5 1/2 hours to get in a weekday round. I never saw a marshal or anyone out there speeding up the pace of the groups.

Course was in good condition but the very slow pace of play means I won't be returning here.

Painfully Slow

I started my round 25 minutes late because they ran out of carts. After 3 hours and 9 holes, I decided my patience point had been reached so I never finished 18 holes. I know this was a holiday but I will not give this course another chance.
