No starter too slow

Couldn't finish 9 TO 18 as pace too slow. 12 people put on hole v 10 start. Grass taken out and lots of sand replaced. Not nice viewing.

Real nice course.

Arrived a little early, putted a bit and warmed up. I was paired up with 2 real nice guys. Course was in great shape. Greens were near perfect rolling quick and true. Bunkers actually had sand in them, unlike the other courses I had played. Played in just under 4 hours. Good variety of holes, plenty of water. Everyone was nice, and I really enjoyed. I will play this one again, for sure.

the course is overbooked and no starter.

Had to wait in long lineup of 8 sets in front of us. No starter, so long wait.

Also we paid for 18 holes and they started us on the 10th hole.

Wide open fairways, decent conditions…bunkers need sand on the bottom

Typically plays very slow here but this was our best duration yet at 4 hrs 20 min. Nothing tricky on this course, decent shape. Bunkers look better than they play….almost no sand at the bottoms, where you need it.

Had to beg to get service in the restaurant/bar area after the round. Once we got it the meal was good….great onion rings!

Time and money we'll spent

Played the course in assembled foursome of vacationers. Surgeon from TN, retired English Teacher and Lawyer from NB ... and me. Course exceeded my expectations. Electric carts, range balls and putting green included in fees. Support staff encountered were delightful and knowledgeable.

Golf course good, Golf Now very deceptive and unethical.

Challenging day

Cold, wet and windy day but the course was in good shape. I like the layout, enough of a challenge but not too difficult for the average golfer. One of the courses I try to play every time I'm here

Well maintained & fast greens

The course is well maintained and pace of play not to bad considering time of year and other courses in the area. The greens are more than half the difficulty as they are very fast and not easy to stick as they are quit hard. Only knock might be the fairway grass is a bit to tight for my liking but maybe it was just cut…

Good for the Money

Staff were excellent. The course was in very good condition. The only down side was pace of play. There was a backup on the 11th hole and this is were the pace of play really stalled out. Other then that, it was very good.
