Palmetto bushes

Too much distance between holes, palmetto brush close to playing areas, lost balls 4 yards off fairway leaves you frustrated. Good condition, friendly staff, get rid of the brush and let people make recovery shots

University park play

Golf course immaculate as usual . 3rd or 4th time signed up to play as a foursome but went out as a two some on a course that was fairly full . Makes for a long day and the starter I found made no effort to find us a better situation. Special thx to Marshall Daryll who helped navigate us around the course in a timely fashion . He definitely saved the day and should be commended .

Hitting better

I expected to be alone but had to partner with a guy from Colorado. He was better than me but good about it. It was a hot day with a slight cool breeze. My partner managed to Par most greens, and let's just say I wasn't too far behind. My drives had improved but my chipping was still terrible. I definitely need some coaching in that department. The course condition was very good along with the course layout. All in all, a good golfing day.

Additional comments

I was pleased with the surroundings.. The hole course was nice to look at with its grooming. The course bathrooms were very clean and not smelly at all. We had a beer with one of the members we met golfing and the setting was nice.

Great course would recommend highly

Great experience from the time we were greeted at the gate until the gentleman helped me load the bags back in the truck. We were pair up with a member who was a pleasure to play with and the course was in exceptional condition.

Good, not great.

Nice course. Staff mostly OK. Ranger not so much. Had 1:15 tee time. Delayed. Finally teed off at 1:31. Play 1st hole (Par 5) in 12 minutes. Two of us made pars. Walked off green to find ranger waiting for us pointing at his watch. Didn't set too well with me, We basically waited on the group in front of us the rest of the day only to see this guy tailing us. Pace of play was fine. 4:15. His hassle was unnecessary. I rented clubs for $60 and they gave me a set with a ladies driver. Oh, no cart beverage service on the course. I suppose they thought it would slow down play. I don't drink alcohol but a water or iced tea would have been nice. I would not go back.
