Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Favorite Course; But Bad Experience Today

Showed up on time; course was like a zoo at feeding time. People everywhere; except the pro shop. Finally went to the bar and was told that they were real busy and someone would be with me a few minutes. Checked in and was told to check with starter. No where to be found for about 15 minutes; meanwhile more and more were showing up to play. Some were heading out in front of big groups, some on # 10. Very slow pace of play. Was told by someone that they had a group of 124 players earlier in the day.

The pace of play was slow. The course could have paired

peopler up to inprove the pace of play. We ended up paireing up with two very friendly guys and had a blast.

The course was in pretty good but a little wet because of the weather over the weekend. We would play again.

Excellent Value Great Layout

Absolutely Enjoyed playing this course. Offering a variety of challenges, first time around. Plenty of water throughout course, so ball placement is key to satisfying the scorecard. Hazards as well as distance markers are clearly marked. Only drawback was bunkers retaining water, other than that this is a must if within a 45 minute drive. I look forward to playing here again.

Winter Golf

Course was wet, to be expected though since it is in a swamp and h played during the winter. Pace of play was somewhat bad, but it was very busy with the weather being nice and I was riding by myself, so I was playing quick. Course was tough and challenging. Tight fairways and semi-small greens make you really place your shots. Will come back again

Tired old course with many forced carries

Diamondback is a tired old course in much need of some TLC. Cart paths are rough, sand traps of very poor quality. Many blind shots, several hidden ponds and a number of forced carries. I am a low handicap golfer and found the course very challenging. It was not a good choice of play for my high handicap wife. We will not be returning to this course.
