We Had to Cancel

We are 4 senior men who were surprised to find out when we arrived that they were no longer allowing single person carts. EVERY other course that I am aware of in the same area are still allowing single person carts. So we canceled through GolfNow and played at a nearby course. It is MUCH too early to make this kind of decision and I will not be back.

I'll be back

Course was in great condition. Greens were fantastic. Pace of play was great until hitting a bottle neck on back 9 with no rangers to get the slow players up to speed.

Close to home, so definitely will be back.

Busy, but Fun

Absolutely gorgeous weather. With everyone off work play has increased, but everyone seemed to enjoy being out there and taking a leisurely pace.

Good course for the price paid. Nothing spectacular about it but nothing bad. Greens in good condition but a bit slow. That’s ok.

Management is extremely rude and berated us as players.

Management drove up, did not introduce themselves as course management, accused us as playing as a 6some and continued to yell and harass us. Completely inappropriate way to address paying customers

Course in Need of TLC but Challenging

Fast check in and low golf traffic. Very informal course, nestled in a residential community where you weave through the neighborhood. Course is dated with tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and greens in need of some serious TLC, but course was very playable and surprisingly, somewhat challenging. We golfed 36 holes, no marshals, no beverage cart service but this was not a problem as we stocked up at the on site restaurant at very reasonable prices. Very pleasant bar staff!! Locals we encountered on the course were friendly with good golf etiquette.

Greens were in very good condition. Fairways were at times sparse with adequate grass coverage.

Never saw a beverage cart. Heard afterwards there might be an issue with their liquor license since the course recently changed hands. Whether thats true or not, it would have been nice to buy a Gatorade and a candy bar on the course
