Nice place to golf

Nice place for golf. Some of the fairways are narrow. Better be a straight swinger or you can lose some golf balls.

Rambo

I always enjoy playing this course. The course was quite wet due to recent rains; however, still in pretty good condition considering how early in the season. Cart path only made for some extra exercise.

We had a fun day with friends who played it for the first time.

Great Value

For mid March the course was in pretty good shape. It was very wet from rains, so it was cart-paths only, which is never fun, but worth it. Staff was great and restaurant is excellent.

Great value on golf now.

Really enjoyed the day. Was paired up with a couple but since it was not crowded, I was allowed to go out as an individual. Started at 11:30 and was finished at 2:30.

enjoyable golf course

Have played this course twice last year and once this fall and have enjoyed it each time. The Tee boxes were in pretty good condition, the fairways pretty good and greens pretty good - a few bare spots in each here and there. not pristine but in pretty good shape. you could play the ball down and not be in bad shape. The holes are fun with lots of elevation changes, trees and a little water.

the driving range was closed and is irons only. the practice green was in good shape and fairly well representative of the greens on the course. Hole 16 with a huge drop off for a par three was fun to play.. Don't even think about walking this course-the elevation change is drastic, and the distance from green to next tee is frequently crazy long.

would be happy to play here again when back in the area.

Tight course, many trees, target golf

Even though the area had an inch and a half of rain the night before, the course was in very good condition. However, we were cart path only. Very difficult course to walk. A lot of hilly terrain. The greens were in very good conditions with moderate speed. Great value for the money.

Pace of Play

I understand that anyone who can hold a golf club plays on the weekends at resort area golf courses. I wish courses would tell all golfers to keep pace with the group ahead of them . At least have Marshals helping out in keeping foursomes moving with the group ahead of them. We were a twosome and started over 30 min after the foursome went off ahead of us. We caught them on the third hole and that foursome was already a hole behind of the foursome ahead of them. We stood and waited all day and never saw a Marshall or anyone to help out the situation. So, what could have been a great day if golf wound up being frustrated and sloppy play because of no consistent tempo of play. The views were great and believe me we had a lot of time to take it all in. Ha
