First off the staff is amazing, very friendly with a good amount of knowledge. Getting us set up and working with what works best for us on vacation. I will absolutely be returning and recommending this place to anyone that asks. The greens and fairways are maintained at the level you would expect. 10 out of 10.

The course was great. The starter… fantastic. Cart guy was awesome. The pro shop attendant was super nice. The tall blonde bartender/server… not so much. Rude. Slow. Not the nicest. But the rest of the experience was stellar.

Early Start

Starter let us of 15 minutes early. We got stuck behind a group of 4 golfers on the 2nd tee box…. They finally let us thru on the 12th tee box. Miserable round. They definitely should have paired us up with two more golfers.

Rude check in

All the staff was amazing except for our check-in. The young lady that checked us in was rude, and we even noticed that when we were done with our round that she was rude to the players that were checking in at that time….
