Nice course with great pace of play. Course was in good shape other than the traps which were quite hard probably due to winds.

Stolen club and not enough carts

Waited an hour to get a cart. Hoofed to and from range, longish walk. No water for cleaning clubs at range. On 4th hole where there is a homeless camp under bridge, one of group had their driver stolen. Water stations on course were empty. Not a great experience. Course itself is ok.

Pace of play poor

Need Marshall to improve pace of play. Took 5 hrs to play due to groups not keeping up, searching for golf balls in ponds and ignoring waiting groups behind them. Called clubhouse and were told no one could come out and get the group holding up play to move up in vacate the course. Ruins enjoyment of the game when no one cares to fix the problem. Cost of tee times has gone up every year with less care as to how those paying these rates are treated

5 hour rounds

If you want to start 15 to 20 minutes after your tee time and take 5 hours to play after you start, this place is for you. We played there 5 times this year January to March 2024, was always 15 plus minutes behind. The first 3,rounds took 4:40 the last 2 took 5 hours. The only reason we went back the last time was because of a hot deal, plus I want to give them a last chance before I never play there again. No luck 5 hours.

Was told by the pro shop that they considered the course to be a resort course and 5 hours is not unusual for a resort course. So if you like 4:45 to 5:00 hour rounds, this place is for you.

Need more Carts!

They don’t have enough carts. We had to wait 45 minutes at the bag drop for our cart. Which made us start 20 minutes past our time tee. We were able to catch up with the group in front of us, but then waited at every tee box.

With that said the course was nice and we would play it again. It would be good if they got more carts.

Slow pace

Wish the marshals had been out on course. Group in front of us definitely slowed us down when we started the back 9 there was 3 open holes in front of them and they were not interested in letting us play through.

Typical Public Course

Overbooked with long delayed start time. They had a large tournament in the morning and not advised at booking, otherwise we would have gone elsewhere.

Greens in poor condition, covered with unprepared ball marks. Many sandtraps not raked, fairways not too had. Overall a fun course layout if properly maintained.

Old golfcarts, but we're told new ones arriving "next week".
