Pace of play and 5some in group in front

There was a 5some in front of us and we had to wait at least 5-10 minutes at every hole. The GPS said that we were at least 15-20 mins behind pace. We didn’t get to finish the round due to not enough light. Please have Marshall to monitor pace of play.

Wouldn’t play here again, it is super overpriced for what you get. The course layout is very fun and challenging but it is all dead or overgrown. The greens a were pretty beat up and the pace was pretty bad for a 80$+ round in the afternoon. Wont be playing here until the grass improves or they lower prices.

Better Fairways

It’s taken decades, but the fairways have finally improved from poor to average - Not far to go to good. Keep up the good work!

Crowded Course

I used to play here a lot many many years ago. First time back in about 10 years. It is even more crowded than ever and the play is slooooooow. The geese are still there and so is their poop. haha
