Great greens, challenging layout

I haven't played this course in years since I moved, but I decided to go back on a whim. Glad I did. The course is in really good shape, the greens are excellent, smooth, fast, and true. Bunkers are so-so, but that's typical for muni courses in this area. The tee boxes are also pretty well kept, but the ones on the par 3's are a little beat up. Again, pretty typical. Fairways are pretty good, a few thin spots but the main areas are just fine.

The layout is as challenging as I remembered, a lot of trees lining the fairways, a few forced carries over the creek, and several water hazards you have to maneuver around as well. If you drive it straight you'll be fine, but be prepared to lose a lot of balls if you're having a bad day.

A very walkable course, essentially flat but with a few mounds and humps & bumps. I got around with 3 others in just over 4 hours, and we were waiting on pretty much every hole.

Definitely will be adding this course back into my rotation, especially for the price.

Need to hire better golf Marshal

Arrived at course 11:40 for a 12:06 t time. I didn't tee off till nearly 1:00pm. No carts, finished in dark. Course was overbooked. Once again, Marshals are an absolute joke.

Slow play

I’ve never waited so long to play. Course was backed up so much we barely finished the 6th hole in two hours before we left. We will go back but hoping the start times are farther apart to avoid this.
