Cart person

Need to have some sort of cart person out during the week and weekend. Just to hot 🔥 not to have someone The fairways were semi soaked on some holes, but greens were slow due to water or rain but still good. Enjoyed but the hydration issue is paramount.

5 hours for an early morning time is just too long. The greens are in good shape but the fairways were a little thin in some areas. The layout is nice and affords the ability to play recovery shots from the woods. But the pace of play is terrible, and that seems to be a reoccurring issue based on the comments of others.

Great course

Challenging, yet fun! Tight fairways, but even if you're out of the fairway, you can still find your ball and play it just about every time. The wildlife on the course is awesome to see, really friendly staff, and maintained well. Not to mention the cart girls who are awesome and make great drinks!

Wet day

Course as always was in good shape, and challenging. I was only able to play 9 holes before the rain started to come down in buckets. However, the staff was more than helpful in giving me a rain check for the nine holes I was unable to play. .
