Hills and Vistas

Loved the layout of the course with winding cart paths and creative t box shots to the fairway. Carts were well maintained but noisy and gas powered. Practice areas are well placed and beautiful.

Cart return

Unaware when booking that the carts needed to be returned by 4:45 we never had a chace to finish with a 1:56 tee time. We still had three holes to go at least enough light to play 3 more but we were directed to return our carts.I will never again take a later tee time.

Fun layout, beautiful views.

Fun layout beautiful views, nice weather. Course in reasonably good condition, except that it looks like the club has given up on bunkers completely. Fairways were not as good as earlier in the season, greens were a little better than earlier.

The staff at this course is poor. I believe that the customer service culture is a result of poor leadership direction and awareness or recognition of who really is the customer here...

Treated Like 2nd Class Citizens

Don't bother to arrive more than 15 minutes early if you purchased a Hot Deal. They won't let you check in before 15 minutes of your tee time because "they aren't making any money off of your tee time:". We arrived 20 minutes early to have to wait 5 minutes to check. Once checked in we went to the starter box and we were again told... sorry --- can't let you off early even though there was no one on the 1st tee. So, we waited and the tee time that was 24 minutes after ours arrived and because they used a Golf Now regular tee time, they went off before us. How cheap and I believe that the hot deals are how Golf Now is compensated for their service. We paid $84 to play golf whether it went to the Golf Now or to the golf course. How rude and they treat you like your a 2nd class citizen!
