Slow day

Pace of play was very slow and at one stage we were three groups waiting on the same tee.

Considering the amount of rain we had the course was in good shape although we did get a few plugged lies on the fairway.

As a first time player at the course I found it quite challenging where to lay up and there are many blind shots.

It might be easier the second time around but I think there are more interesting courses in the area to explore.

Favorite Course

This golf course is absolutely awesome to play on. Very creative course and very nice greens. This course is maintained very well. It has now become my favorite course to play on. They have a cool boardwalk that the cart rides on from hole to hole and the course creates a very peaceful atmosphere to enjoy a round of golf.

Like 2 courses in one

front nine is tight, cramped, and common to hear "fore". the back is sprawling, long cart rides,and peaceful.

For 23 dollars, I'd play again... for anything near 30? probably not.

I liked the layout overall, lots of different shots, water rarely came into play but the sand traps certainly did. At least 2 greens had tire tracks and dead grass but for the most part it was well maintained and clean.

The star of the course was the ranger. He was on it, trying to shuffle speedier players to the front when he could, came by and asked if things were good several times. Made you feel like your round mattered.

Good course,worth it for the bargain hunter like me ($23 for 18 holes)

Before you go ...

I recommend it because it’s good for the cost. I have regularly found this course to be less expensive than others in the area. It’s a nice layout but it’s often in rough shape. The greens run well when they are in good shape, but there are too many ball marks and dried out areas to make the greens run true all the time. There are way too many places in the middle of fairways or rough areas that should be well maintained that are ground under repair. A word of warning about tee selection too. Almost all of the extra yardage for black tees is on holes with forced carries or one par 3 that’s 220 with little room for error. Check the course with a GPS app before you decide.

Slow

Threesome in front of me was not very good or smart. Waited on every hole for green. To clear. Even par fives. I waited on every shot.

Quit after 13 holes. I could not take it any longer.

Really Solid Layout

The back nine is fun and challenging with the exception of the artificial island tee box on the long par 5. The front nine is pretty wide open and tough to lose a ball on. Bunkers and rough were well maintained but there were diseased spots on multiple fairways and greens. I personally thought the greens were tough to read properly .

The amenities are pretty basic. I don't like how they have the practice green all the way between #1 tee and #2 green. I paid $46 on Sunday morning which was $6 too much.
