course in good shape.... but need to make sure early groups keep pace.....we had 0700 tee time on Sunday....but 3 groups teed off ahead of us who apparently have unofficial tee times....we had to skip the 3rd hole to go around them....we finished 18 with the slow 4 some 4 holes behind backing up the course!!!

Nice course, getting better every time I play

Course conditions improving every time I play it. It has a great lay out but a few greens have bare spots they are working on. I am looking forward to playing it again come Feb./Mar. Much harder course from back two sets of tees.

Overbooked Course

The course was double booked for our twilight tee time which caused poor pace of play. Beware, it is not possible for finish 18 holes for their twilight rate.

Not worth it anymore

This place has gone down hill. Used to love playing this course but over the past year it has gone down hill. Pace of play is absolutely terrible. The ranger(s) don’t do anything to help move things a long. You’ll find them camped out by a restroom playing on their phone. The starter is a kid on a power trip who always has an attitude. The guy at the counter and cart girl are probably the only good things this place has going for it. The owner has started to let this place go and that’s evident. I can’t justify playing here anymore when it takes close to 5.5 hours for two people to finish a round.

Horrible pace

Typically I'm not bothered by a slower pace of play..but this course is always overbooked so you end up with 2 or more groups at every T box. It's so slow it ruins your game. 5 1/2 hours for a round of golf just ruins it.
