Slow play

The group in front lol forever on the greens. You would think they were putting for a milllion dollars. Foursome that kneeled and walked around and measured every putt for all four , even laid down to view putts

No Marshall to speed up. We actually timed their putting. 8 minutes on green average greens excellent shape. The rough no good lots of unkept areas

one of the best in the area

I have played this course 3 time and each time was a pleasure. Great layout gives you a challenge on each hole. You don't need to bomb your driver to play, but can. Water on several holes, but easy to play around.

too wet...

We don't know if it rained the previous night or you watered on top of the rain, but the course was really wet. Fairways good, greens very nice, but everything else was kinda of tough. It was the first time playing there this yr, would like to play a lot more, but we both work part time in the mornings so we usually play around 12:30 -1pm, but we've noticed that you don't run specials often in the afternoons. Your rate is $55 in the afternoons. I have family n friends coming soon, we plan on playing there. THANKS.

PS glad to see the repavement!!

Course in great shape and the cost through Golf Pass made it easy to enjoy a round with my family. Wind in the afternoon did affect the game but we were smiling at the 19th hole and the bartender was enjoyable to talk with.
