Very well kept course
Didn't realize it was in a neighborhood but the course was in immaculate condition. Probably shop staff was awesome. Went to restaurant between rounds to get a quick sandwich and they said they would be with us soon and then 15 min. Later hadn't waited on us so we left and finished our 2nd 9 so not sure about that part.

In great shape
I really enjoyed playing this course. I played from the red tees and have an index of 16. Fairways wide and in good shape. Rough a but long but playable. Greens slower than I’m used to so practice before starting your round.

Nice Day at a Nice Place
Lots of Sand on the Fairways and around the greens. Condition of sand was inconsistent, Fairway and greens were well maintained and played well. Dave, in the pro shop, was helpful and friendly.

Great bones, lack of care
Played PDCC often over last 3 years. Great layout, length and overall challenge potential. However, course is NOT well maintained. No sand in traps, boxes and greens not mowed. Pace of play was 2hrs on front and then 1.5 hrs for holes 10-12 so we had to leave early and after only 12 holes. Service at front desk is great.
Come on guys, get a pace of play policy in effect and you will be ready to go!
