Course has potential, but awful pace of play

This course has potential but the layout on the front 9 leads to horrible pace of play. #2 is a drivable par 4, followed by a long par 3, followed by a short par 5, followed by another long par 3.

It took 2 hours and 45 minutes to play the front 9.

The back 9 has a lot of good dogleg holes, but a 5+ hour round for 6,000 yards from the tips isn’t ideal.

Nice place to play. We had some severe rainstorms the day before so, some of the bunkers were full of water. Other than that, the place looked great, we had a great time and the staff was fun! I’ll definitely come back.

Great Day Always

I will start with is the course great shape. This year I had a Golf outing, Family Day Outting of 70, ending with a birthday outing small but great. I was able to park my RV in the back for the extra travelers. The staff I rate 100%,

Local Course Keeps Getting Better

Booked through GolfNow website. Staff was very friendly. Allowed me as a single to head out early since they were not super busy. Course was in good condition and being improved during my round - new sand being added to bunkers on the back 9. Not a super difficult track, but will keep you on your toes and honest. Greens were firm, but fair. Will be back again
