When did sand stop being used in bunkers

Although it worked out for me I’m fairly sure that my ball was not meant to roll right through sand free bunkers. Apart from this I think that this course is a most enjoyable golf challenge.

Slow play

Took some visitors from Iowa here for an afternoon of golf and every hole was 20 minutes long. Signed up for 18 holes and played 10 before it got dark. Used to really love this course but having real concerns about ever returning. The bunkers are really bad the fairways were moderately maintained and the greens are pretty rough this year. Really sad it's a beautiful Golf Course otherwise

Pushy Starter, Horrid Traps

Canoa has seemed to have fallen off in the last 4 years. The traps are unplayable, completely unplayable. This isn't really new, so if you choose to play out of them it is hard but most times you just do the locals thing and drop your ball outside of the trap.
The thing that really was irritating this time was being told to start 20 minutes before our scheduled tee time just because the other twosome was there and available. We had barely had 5 minutes to warm up and felt rushed and it completely wrecked the first hole or two. Do better, the times are there for a reason, no need to rush people. Truly unfortunate, Still a course I like, just seems the shine is fading from it being a fave.

Bunkers

The bunkers need a lot of work. Currently they are hard as concrete.

Dangerous and no bathrooms!

Every time we go someone gets injured. Elderly golfers are tripping on sidewalks and paths. No club washers. No bunker sand. No grass. Greens don’t roll smooth. No key to bathrooms so 2 hours till available! Takes a long time to get a beer at the bar.

Fun layout.

Six par threes, 5 par fives and 7 par fours. Not your cookie cutter layout. Holes were interesting and somewhat challenging. A shotmaker's course but fair.

Canoa

A surprisingly good course layout. Lots of elevation changes that I did not expect. Very challenging course, particularly the 18th hole. Fun course to play. In good shape when we played. Highly recommended
