Mission Fails

It's a nice course to play with some difficult greens but the entire experience in heavily impeded by the slow play. Finished 13 holes in about four hours. The course would be much better if there weren't so much waiting.

Twilight Rates!

I like down the street from this course and have probably played it over 50 times. A ton of short par 4 holes. Reachable par 5's for the average hitters.

But here's the reason why I love this place. Granted this is determined by what time it gets dark, but during the spring/summer time they have a $15 twilight rate after 5:00 pm. Some would think there's no way to get 18 in that late. Monday-Thursday teeing off at 5:00 is no problem. This last round I played hole 1 to18 by myself with only having to pass 1 group....An hour and forty minutes and I was done.

Fun little course with great twilight rates. However, spending $40-$60 on this course on a Saturday morning is probably not worth it.

Pro shop personnel: nice.
Cart attendants: awesome.
Ambassadors: Super friendly.
Starters: My favorite people on the course.
Guys on the grill after the 9th: Great!
Bartenders: Meh

Great course to improve your game on!!!

I play this course as a pick me up before I play more challenging courses. This course is perfect for an avid golfer looking to improve their game. The distance on most holes are fairly reachable. The greens were just punched so 1/2 of the green was playable & all the t boxes were good. I played @ sunrise so didn't have to wait on any holes.

Only 1 issue with this course........

I have played here probably 6 to 8 times and I really enjoy the course. The only real issue I have is that it has extremely slow play. I don't really know what the problem is, but it happens every time I play. This time, when we got to the 11th hole, there were 3 groups waiting there. Two in their carts and one standing on the tee box. And I could see another group on the fairway waiting before they could hit. It was slow up to that point, but something happened at the 11th that created this jam and I'm not sure what it was. Then it was slow the rest of the way in, causing our games to really suffer. A couple of holes later, we saw a marshal/ambassador and it seemed he was not doing anything. And we were just standing waiting for the group ahead of us to tee off. Something similar happens every time I play here Nice course, terrible waiting. Probably wait another 8 to 10 months before I play here again.

worth the $$$

The Fairways need some help !! But for the most part they were fair to play ! The greens were in good shape and a challenge to read the puts !! with creeks and rivers and elevated tees to deal with the only way to score good was to play smart !!! If you think being a big bommer from the tee this course will humble you !! Play smart keep it together and you will score . Clark Nelson SR.

Good course right now!

2nd time playing here. I was hesitant to play here from last time because I had a bad experience due to bad fairways, slow play and banged up greens. I probably caught it at the bad time. Decided to come back again with a friend, and the greens are currently freshly aerated and grew in very nice. Greens are nice and soft and in great condition. If you could get out here in the next month you should. Got paired up with a another duo and they was nice and friendly, cant' say the same about other people. Most people here are loud and disrespectful to the ettiquette on the field and I politely corrected them.

Guy at the desk was slow. Decided a phone call was more important than the line of 6 people in front of him. Food was fresh off the grill very excellent.

All holes are great except the 18th which made no sense in its design but aiming left to have a level 2nd shot with the hole instead of going up a 100ft hill.
