Father and daughter

We had a great day and played well. I made the island green with a 110 yard 9 iron but my daughter went in the water. The greens were just sanded so the putting was not the best.

Great course

Front nine and back nine are completely different. Had a local in the foursome for tips and hints which made a big difference. Cart gal was around steady. Greens will improve hopefully with better weather

Course was overall good.

Course layout, staff, condition was good overall. Only complaint was greens were bumpy with tufts of grass sticking up scattered around on the greens. Similar to putting on freshly aerated greens. However, I would play this course again.

Poor Greens

Greens were terrible - practice green was not puttable. On course the greens were better, but not much.

Avoid this course for several months.

slow play

There were some high school boys in front of us and they played very slowly. The pace was so bad, we quit after 12 holes. Greens weren't in that great of condition.

They are overbooked. It took 3and a half hours to play 9 holes. Backed up on every hole. We went to the back 9 and the same.. finished 11 and left as wi would definitely not completed til dark.

The greens are in very poor condition and the fairways brown straw.

The starter was a very nice gentleman and the gentleman in the proshop was nice. A threescore before us we asking for a reimbursement and he gave a rain check for 9 holes,so we asked for the same.
