It shouldn't take nearly 5 hours to play a round of golf. There were no marshalls anywhere to be found to speed-up play and some golfers were trying to skip in front of us even though we waited on every shot

Very nice shape and character

Very nice course with fairways, tees

boxes and greens in good condition. Big backup at #2 holes caused immediate concern but seemed to open up after that. We completed round in 5 hours. All in all, a good day at the golf course with family.

So so course

Have been playing here now for over 30 years. Things have changed, and not for the better. Tee time got pushed back, first because of a shot gun tournament earlier in morning. Of course you’re not told that when you book. Then a 4 some shows up, glad handing the the man in charge, and next we know, they tee off in front of us. When we asked what was their tee time, his smug answer was “ before yours”.. Turns out they’re residents and simply got fit in. 1st three holes took 1.5 hours. Some greens were in horrible condition. Over 5 hours when said and done.

This may be my last time here.

Sorry that you had a bad experience.. This is Tony the new owner. I’m told daily that the course has never been in better shape. We are doing our best to improve conditions and keep prices reasonable. If there is anything I can do please call the pro shop and ask for me.

Zzzzzz

The 18th hole is fantastic. The 16th was really really good. Other than that it’s just okay. Had to play by myself because I couldn’t get my own cart in a foursome with three others I didn’t know. Would have loved to walk it but it’s so spread out it would probably have been a 10 mile walk.

NOT Customer Friendly

Most unwelcoming. Multiple pointless rules made for a bad experience. NO coolers allowed. I was "too early to check in ... come back later"?! . No carts yet. Separate loaner carts for the range [none available] Haul your own bag back/forth to the range ... etc. Ridiculously slow pace of play... didn't finish a round in almost 5 hours... NO help from invisible marshal

Sorry you did not enjoy your hot deal from golf now. If you had read your email confirmation it clearly states that we cant check you in before our paying customers. You were sent off at your actual tee time. No cooler policy is clearly stated as well. We cannot allow people to bring outside alcohol on course for obvious reasons.
