Greens were very tough but looked great

Had a great time playing out here with family and friends. The greens looked good, but were very fast. So I'd like to come back out soon and take on the challenge again.

Fun Course to Play

This course is a little rough around the edges. But, under new managements expect to see considerable improvements. The layout is excellent. Greens are very fast which makes it very difficult to putt with many severe slopes. Course is very dry from lack of rain and watering.

Slow going.

The course is nice with interesting challenges. There was a very slow foursome in front of us with no ranger to speed their pace. So, the round was 5+ hours. Normally it is just around 4 hours.

Nice shape

Pace was 4.5 hours. There was a fivesome in front of us. Front 9 was slow. Back nine it opened up. Greens were in good shape but not consistent in speed. I would play here again.

Great course

We caught this course on a great deal, the course was amazing for the price, greens were good, and fairways were good, not much grass in fairways this time of year and it was wet but bang for the buck i've not played better.
