As others alluded to below, it's mainly pace.

Country Club Conditions

The greens play like any country club in the area; they were FABULOUS. It's also fun playing on this course due to the fact they cut their greens so wide. The two nine's play very differently from each other but both are great surprises. This is the first course I will continually look for when booking.

Maintenance

I think that the superintendent and his staff does a wonderful job of maintaining the golf course. The need to continue to level tees is obvious

Love the layout

I love how this course is laid out and it’s in great condition. Slow pace of play is the only downside here. In my opinion this course is only playable early morning mid week.

Tough and interesting

Very hard and long golf course especially with afternoon wind. I would not bring in any friend has 15 or higher handicap to play this place, especially players do not know how to read those large, fast and adulated greens.

Less for more

I’ve been playing here for years. I truly think this course is a real test of ones game and patience. It’s just hard. The greens are maddening and you have to play here many times to learn them. That all being said, I’m tired of them making the course harder than it has to be by putting the pins in tournament places. Maybe it’s a Wednesday skins thing (they have a weekly game) but they make an already difficult course impossible and not enjoyable.

Also, the course was in horrible shape. Granted, they punched the greens and it was totally sandy, but you would think they would ease up on you and put the pins in accessible locations given the condition of the course. Nope.

With the influx of new golfers due to Covid (that is another rant for a different day) and all the money that comes with it, I want to see that reflected in course conditions They raised their prices, Covid has reduced the services thus less overhead so you would think that would translate into better course conditions.

Great layout

Fairways were a bit rough. Transition between cart path and natural paths has a lot of holes, uneven ground.
