Slow play

Love this course! I played on a Sunday afternoon at 2:44. The play was so slow, it took 2 hrs and 20 min to get to the 7th Tee! At that pace, I'd reach the 11 hole at 7pm.

Gave up on the 8th. No more Sundays for me. Most other times I've played, the pace was acceptable.

A good course in a poor cart

Only problem with the layout was that the clubhouse was distant from the turn.

Our carts were very difficult to steer.

I also disliike "nanny carts" that are GPS monitored, as if I don't know how to drive on a golf course.

Overall a good experience,, though. I'll play the course again.

Good value, but need new carts

Nice staff. Course was in better condition than last time we played. Good value and an enjoyable play, but round took 5 hours. They need some new carts too. Great that they have GPS, but carts are a bit beat up and hard to steer.

Poor service

They use to bring a cart to your car when you parked and load your bags. Not anymore. Had to carry bags to the cart. Offered no help at all. You had to switch carts to use the driving range and then switch back to play. 5 hour round. No rangers. They came out on the 14 th hole and told us the pro shop was closing at 7pm and we would have to stop playing regardless of what hole we were on. The previous owner was awesome. The new owner is clueless. We felt like they were doing us a favor to pay to play there.

Actually the service has never been better. We have 3 cart attendants at the bag drop for your convenience. You do not have to carry anything. Not sure why you chose to bypass the bag drop area. Additionally I have purchased 7 range carts for our customers so that they no longer bags to the range. They are at the bag drop for everyone to use and the customers love them. The course is in it’s best condition in it’s history, and the play has tripled since our new team has taken over. For anyone reading this, see the other recent reviews for a better understanding of our conditions and service. Best deal in town, friendliest staff.

Course was fine

Course was just fine for the price. The thing that irritated me was being told to have the cart in at 7 when the sun didn’t set until 7:44 today. I’d understand if I was the only person on the course, but i wasn’t. I worked at a course for years and you just knew on a nice day, you were there until dark. So payed for 18 played 12 cause the cart guys wanted to go home on a Friday.

Fun and fair

First time playing this course and really enjoyed it. Course condition was very nice and it is a fun layout. Very playable for the average hacker and the island green was a great touch. Pace of play was horrible on the front nine with 3 elderly ladies in front of us. Fortunately they only played nine, so the pace on the back nine was much faster. Overall I would look forward to playing this one again.

Slow

The pace was slow, had people in front taking way too much time and people in the back who didn't want to wait. They also would not let us check in until 10 min before our scheduled tee-off.

Again, for anyone else reading this we have a restaurant, bev cart and halfway house open 7 dates per week. Not sure what this customer’s issue is. We are not short staffed, and I am not being defensive. Just making sure the truth is known by anyone reading this. Tony

The day we were played there was no one in the bar area to get food from. We checked in early and tee off early, 8:10

We asked the marshal, THERE WAS NO BAR CART AND NO HALFWAY HOUSE!

AND I am sorry if whoever replied to my reply is short staffed, but no need sensitive and defensive!

For anyone else reading this, we have a beverage cart on course 7 days per week, and the halfway house is also open 7 days per week. Smart. And additionally, we have a bar area by the clubhouse where you can buy coolers full of drinks and food before you go out on the course 7 days per week.
