Perfect weather
Used cart

We enjoyed it so much that we booked another tee time for September 21st at 11:08 am. I purchased the tee time protection for $4.10. The weather forecast did not show any rain expected. I booked the tee time on September 19th. It was raining, unexpectedly, during the morning of September 21st, so I cancelled the tee time on-line to Golf Now and contacted the course. Although the course was not closed due to the weather, it was raining and it was expected to continue all day. I would like to request a refund due to the weather. I would appreciate your consideration of this request. Thank you very much.

Nice course

Really enjoyed the course. Just enough challenge offered on most holes, with a bit of a break on others. Five hour-plus round, so it would be nice to get that shortened, but not sure what could be done about the groups of hackers that were playing at the speed of mollasses.

Good course for the fee

Nice course but pace of play very slow, 5 1/2 hours to do 18. Practice range was a little rough. Overall, fun to play.

Not much to complain about (besides the two duffers who spent nearly 5 hours whiffing at half their shots in 94 degree heat!). Course was in good shape besides several bunkers, which were in awful shape. Fairways, rough, and greens were all above average. Plenty of water coolers on the course, and signage was good. I’d def play here again and would recommend it to others.

Hot day on the course

Nice enough course. Greens consistent and mostly true Very warm day with less shade on the back nine. Lot's of water on the front less so on the back. Had a beverage cart which got to us 4 times on the front but must have gone home because there was no cart at all on the back. Staff was great! Arrived a little late and the staff took me to the second tee to be with my group and let me play the first hole at the end. Rangers were noticeable throughout the round. Some tee boxes a little worn. But still overall a nice day.
