3&1/2 hours and only 12 holes played. Seriously?!

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful pre-round.

We started a few minutes before our tee time, and the first few holes went normally, but then things started to slow down. It wasn’t the group in front of us, but rather the group in front of them.

Absolutely horrible, slow, inconsiderate golfers, with no skill whatsoever. The end for us was after making the turn we had to wait almost 1/2 hour to start the back nine, as that group waited for the group in front of them to leave the hole before playing.

No marshals to been seen at any time. The first one we saw was at hole 12 when I asked him to move that group along as we had been on the course for 3hr 15 minutes at that point. To show how clueless he was, he asked if it was the group directly in front of us. We explained that it was the group in front of them, but when we finished 12 and got to hole 13 that group had yet to even reach the green.

We left.

To top it off, people NOT golfing were using the course as a neighborhood pass through as they rode scooters and jacked up golf carts with little kids down the cart paths, so we had to wait to hit our shots so we wouldn’t put these pedestrians in harms way.

The greens appeared to not have been cut for a week, and it felt like shag carpet while putting.

I would NOT recommend this course at any time, for half the price.

Unacceptable course management and upkeep.

Nice course but chewed up a bit. I

The course was good and the staff was great. The tee boxes were in rough shape and the yardage books and lack of gps made play and distance difficult. For 170/ round no gps was a disappointment. Place was okay but the ground was hard and the grass was so short putting around the greens was easier than chipping.

Faded glory

Clearly this was a top course years ago. The layout and tee box options are still great. The greens roll well too. However, for the amenities available and overall condition, I’d say it’s about double the cost that it should be. $50 with carry would be more appropriate when compared to the competition. I won’t go back at current pricing but would in a minute for half price. Cash infusion needed for sure.
