Missed holes

Course was very nice. Clubhouse breakfast was great. I was disappointed that there was no mention of the 2 holes that were not being used.

Only 16 holes open, but they don’t tell you that before booking

The 16 holes that were open were in pretty good condition, but after paying over $300, we were not very happy to find out that two of the holes were permanently closed until further notice. Also, of course, Marshall was very rude, and when we went back to eat, they took our clubs off of the carts and just leaned them against the wall so we had to carry our very heavy bags and other stuff back to the, drop off area, then walk way out into the parking lot to get our cars. Do not plan to play there again.

16holes

Disappointed when we checked in to learn 2 holes were not open. We did not know this and would have played elsewhere if we had. Otherwise the course was in reasonable condition and has a good practice area.

2 holes closed not disclosed

The course itself was in good shape and I liked it. However, when we showed up they informed us that holes 4 and 5 are closed. They had some flood damage which I understand however, had I known I would have played somewhere else until it was back to an 18 hole course. The pro shop staff stated "that's why we gave you the twilight rate". How would I know that it's the twilight rate and I feel like I should be able to decide if I want to play 16 holes at a "twilight rate" of $92. There only water for drinking on the course was hole 17. At the turn the only place to get drinks is the restaurant. So you stand in the busy waitstaff area next to the kitchen and have a server get you drinks. This seems to be a poor set up. Why not get a cooler/fridge and put it in the pro shop? I feel the course could have been great with some basic fixes and in the future give Full Disclosure at the time of booking. I feel bad for the staff as I am sure they receive an earful from people showing up for their tee time only to find out then that it is not a full round of golf.
