Gorgeous Course

This is a gorgeous course. Played on 12/5 (Saturday) using a $65/golfer Underpar cert and we received more than our money's worth. The layout was great, the fairways in pristine condition, the greens almost perfect (as it was still just after maintenance), the staff friendly, the range beautiful. I would love to play this course again!

Cart Path Only Stinks

Called 2 days prior to verify that it was not "cart path only" and told no, carts will be on the fairways. Arrived to be told "cart path only". Should be a disclaimer in tee time reservations.

Entire Staff Needs To Work on Customer Service!

Not one person we encounter the entire round greeted us or said anything to us from check in where the gal was talking to another worker, to the marshal who drove by four times and didn't even nod, to the cart return station. No one said "have a good round", "how are you doing?" or "goodbye, have a nice afternoon". Yes - we did address all of these folks with "good morning", and "hello" to the marshal, and when we returned the cart we said "here you go - have a nice evening" and we got nothing in return.

The twosome we were paired with said, "Good luck getting anyone to even say hello here - it's always like this".

No way we would ever live in this community and join such an unfriendly club.
