Slow players will not allow faster players to play thru. Marshals should be riding around telling slow players to pick up the pace.

DON’T USE A CREDIT CARD

So the course is actually fine, especially for the value of your teatime. However, do not use a card in the clubhouse. About two months back I used a card there in my last purchase was in the clubhouse, then my card was used for multiple online purchases worth hundreds of dollars. I didn’t think anything of it, although I was suspicious. I went back yesterday, and of course, late last night, my card was attempted for more fraud purchases in the middle of the night. They either have a scanning machine on the credit card or employees are using customers numbers. I called to speak with someone but was blown off & never received a call back. Be careful.

Fun use-friendly course

Loved this course. Not too difficult, but enough sand and water to keep your attention. I happily recommend this course to others

Fall

Greens and fairway were not in a good condition. The club house also didn’t tell us there was a full blown festival going on right next to the course. Bathrooms on the course were closed too.
