DO NOT GIVE THIS COURSE YOUR MONEY.

Unless you are one of the first groups off the tee, or enjoy 6 hour rounds, I would steer clear of this course. They are always about 15-20 minutes behind on the first tee box, so your "8am" tee time ends up being 8:20. They also stack up the tee times every 7 minutes, so you will become best friends with the groups in front and behind you as you wait 10-20 minutes on each hole before you can tee off. The golf course designers must be laughing hysterically, as each hole also seems to be designed for the maximum amount of bottleneck possible, providing no relief to the pace of play. They have "ambassadors" roaming the course, but other than carry water for you on a hot day I have no idea what they are there for. They are certainly not there to help the pace of play. For some reason, they also like to start watering the course at 10am as well, so have fun getting wet while you see them waste water by doing it at the wrong time of day. I'm sure the course would be in better shape if they actually watered at the correct times...but the conditions were what I'd expect for a $46 course in one of the most expensive areas of the country. If you decide to play anyway, you have been warned.

Good as ever

We had a nice quick midday, midweek round. The greens are usually good here and it's a good bang for your buck.

Great Course!

Had a 8am t-time. Check-in was excellent. Nice practice putting green behind the 1st T. Starter was friendly. Caught up to three-some including 2 older gentlemen who play every Monday at this course. They were an absolute pleasure to play with and we had great conversations! Greens were beautiful, fairways quite dry, but a beautiful fun course to play on!

So slow

I booked today because I live near by and was excited to get out and play. In 4 hours I got 13 holes in. The pace of play was so slow and no one from the course was out to help.

245 golf now tee time. Didn’t tee off till 315. Looked like the starter let walk ups play in front of booked tee times slowing play dramatically ... almost 5 hour round.

Greens were a great surprise!

Having played Trails for decades but only about twice a year, I never know what to expect on each visit. This time was a really good experience. Not only did we play in 3 hours, 45 minutes in the middle of a weekday with walkers in front of us! (Maybe we just got really lucky) but ALL of the greens were in excellent condition and rolled consistently. Not sure that I’ve see all 18 so uniform. At least not in a long time. Fairways were patchy as always but nothing too bad. Just a really enjoyable experience and good to see the course being kept up well. For the price, don’t think you can beat it.

5.5 hour round

They definitely need to either space golfers out or have Marshalls that can move slower players along. We waited on every shot for all 18 holes.

Great tune up

Played this course off ,& on for years. Even though it is a Holiday week they seem less concerned about the pace of play. Today it was 5hrs +. They just keep sending more golfers out to satisfy completed tee times. A couple of Marshall's could help greatly. We waited on every hole today and was able to see gaps between groups and some open holes.

Decent course

Great place to work on a few things. In decent shape. Pace of play wasn’t the greatest but still a good round. I’ll play there again.
