No way on a nice day

I get it... Mid November and 60 is going to bring out the golfers, but 4 carts waiting on each hole of the back 9 is awful. tee times are 8 minutes apart for every group.

no ranger in view at all today.

SLOOOOOWWWWWWWWW

tee boxes are beat to heck, fairways are ok, not good... not terrible.

My biggest issue is with the placement of a few trees. and no, not because I hit them (one i did)... because they're in stupid places.

the back 9 has two holes that are identical dog leg left holes.... IDENTICAL!!!

Very little water, kinda boring looking course. One tee box is located on a platform with a range matt to hit from, its odd.

I'd go again.... but not on a warm day.

Patience

Nice course for the money. Back nine a lot more challenging than the front nine! The only problem I had was getting stuck behind two senior citizens women that could not hit the ball more than 30 yards!! They should reserve certain times and certain days for people who have a very high handicap. I’m not prejudice everyone should be able to play just not on a very busy day it takes the fun out of the game when you’re waiting a long time to hit every shot. The back 9 was no problem because no one was in front of me. Give the course a try I’m sure you will like the course!
