Unfriendly for women

My wife and I played here for the first time. Conditions were good on the fairways and OK on the greens. A little dried out but putted true and a little fast especially downhill. The tee boxes definitely need work. /played the senior tees and they were fair for distance, but the womens tees were only 15 yards up in most cases making a very long course for my wife.

Pleasant course

Layout of course is good, upkeep maintenance could be better. Seems the course gets a lot of play. I liked the risk and reward opportunities, and not too many water hazards. Greens were pretty fast and rolled well. All in all, pretty good value.

Women Beware!!

We waited all day behind a 4some of macho hacker guys who would not let the 2 of us play thru. Frustrating!!! We saw a ranger once towards the beginning of round who said that he had told the group in front of us to speed up a bit. They quit at the turn but then the bigger problem was then the foursome in front of us. No one in front of them... always in the trees. Ugh!!! 5.5 hours!!!!

Really loved the layout of the course and it was in great condition!!! Sad our experience was ruined by these guys!!!

Nicely maintained course for the money

We found this course to be moderate in difficulty and well maintained for a public course. Rough was very sticky so you have to swing though with speed to get the ball to travel the required distance especially around the greens! We had an enjoyable time.

Not all that guys

So first off you are located in a big tourist area and are a public course. You don’t have to act like you are a PGA Championship course; on the cartsmen driving the course like it’s Fort Knox and the starters loading the bags and acting like they are the local sheriff enforcing the rules and policies. Like I said it’s a tourist area not everyone travels with a set of clubs and a polo shirt. When threatened to just get a refund and go down the road a mile or two all the attitude changed. Funny thing is they were on our radar for a company travel of over 50 employees for a golfing vacation. This course is off the list because of the staff Lost out on some big money fellas. Definitely mistaken the book for its cover.
