Challenging course when windy

This is a nice course that can be challenging, especially when there’s wind. The pace of play was really good until a bunch of groups caught up with a high school teams that was walking the course. That backed everything up for the last 4 holes. But the course is in good shape for now.

Greens were perfect. This course is known for windy conditions in the afternoon which makes it challenging. Great condition overall for early spring.

Staff greeted us~easy to talk to~it's what all golf courses should do`THANKS. The course was nice but we think it will be really nice in several weeks. One request, the course needs to put in yardage makers (150) would be good. We know that there is some sprinkler heads with yardage on them, but not all.

See Ya Soon.

Great Condition for Early Season!!! Tough Greens!

Grass is green, fairways great condition/cut to perfections, greens were very good condition throughout course. Greens have quite a bit of slope to them and were fairly fast. Some of the pin positions were very hard given the slope and speed of greens. Saw quite a few puts roll by hole over 5 feet when given barely a touch from above hole. I know your not suppose to hit the ball there, but there was little chance unless you holed the putt. It is not a major complaint, as the setting is beautiful and the conditions were great. Just think a few pins could have been set in different positions.

Slow pace of play / double occupancy carts

11:30am tee time on Friday, April 1st. Arrived at the tee as a single and was told that I needed to ride in a cart with another person. No big deal, but why didn’t they tell me when I checked in at the Pro Shop. 5 hour plus round of golf. Course was in good shape.
