Golf Now and Course computer glitch

I showed up for my tee time and the pro staff informed me that Golf Now screwed up. The course had a shotgun start scheduled and Golf Now should not have made the tee reservation. The Pro Staff was very accommodating and allowed me to select a new date for golf. I did this and will play later in the week.

Nice course

The weather was perfect and the pace of play could be better. The course would also benefit from more frequent watering and fertilizer. Greens where very fast and running very true. Like this course!

Pace of play ruined this round. They let a walker go ahead of us causing a 4 1/2 round and waiting ion every hole. Greens were ok, but fairways have many bald spots. I would not recommend this course.

Disappointing

Played this course 2 years ago and was expecting similar conditions but was very disappointed .The course has deteriorated . Bumpy sandy greens , many burned out ,some with weeds , fairways are terrible as are tee boxes. There was one fairway on the back that could be called lush . One.

Nice green grass but on virtually all the other holes this was not the case. Nothing but tight lies. Some rock hard

Pace of play was brutal. Our three some was behind a slow 4 some. It was just shy of a five and a half hour round .On the plus side-

Good practice facility. Nice friendly people

Nice layout , helpful staff but grounds were tired

Walked in to the pro shop and was greeted by a very helpful and friendly staff member

Nice practice areas, and a good course layout, my only concern was the grounds were not in good shape. Even when compared to “lesser” local tracks.

Needs some horticultural love .

The Greens are not green and need work

The course itself is OK. The design is fine. The boxes are in pretty good shape and the fairways are OK. The greens are not in good shape and are like putting on asphalt.
