Good course that could have been better

Condition wise course was good except tee areas which need to be resodded. Staff was unfortunately not pleasant(pro shop, starter and rangers).. Beverage cart was only seen once, but at least she was pleasant and professional. Not worth the $130 price tag. Would go back if there is a change in staff

Slow round

Have played here a few years back and had a great experience so was Looking forward to todays round. Unfortunately the pace of play was so slow it took the enjoyment out of the day. Round was about 4:40. Two of my playing partners quit after just 10 holes due to pace of play. Never saw a ranger. Nor a beverage cart. Just barely finished the round before before the sun set. The course itself was in great shape.
