Need a Marshall

This is a very nice course and was in better shape than most around the area for April. Unfortunately it took 5 hrs to play a round due to a foursome holding up play 2 groups ahead of us. Nothing worse for golfers than having to wait on every tee-box. In fact there was one hole with five groups, three of which were waiting For that reason alone, I cannot recommend this course to others. Fortunately it was not an extremely hot day we played so it was tolerable.

pretty good except for the bunkers

I like this course except for the bunkers. They day I played the bunkers were like dried out mud. On the front 9 they were as hard as a rock! It didn't even look like sand. The back 9 was different, They had white clean sand and were easy to work out of. Everything else was great!

Excellent shape right now

Haves played this course many times and the course has made many improvements since the last time I played. They have put PGA tour sand in the bunkers on 9. 16 and 18 and hopefully will continue that on other holes. Greens look great and putt very well. Forgot how big and sloping they are so one can have a lot of long lag putts. If this course was closer to where I lived I would be playing it every week. It is in that kind of shape and good challenging layout.

Disappointing

This used to be a well-maintained course, which we played often. In the past year or two, the course has deteriorated. The fairways were so dried out and rock-hard that you needed an iron to "junk" out of those dried-out fairways. I'm glad I got this on a GolfNow Hot Deal, because if I had priced their full price, I would have asked for my money back. Sadly, we won't be going back again any time soon.
