Slowest round I have ever played

At times we had four groups at a tee box. Other than the slow play I didn’t have any complaints. It’s just impossible for me to enjoy a round that takes over 5 hours.

Good condition

Good condition. Friendly, responsive staff. Decent rate, but will get too expensive for me in season, so I’m playing it while I can. Interesting features since it was rebuilt and renamed, especially rhe sod walls along the waste areas. Fairly forgiving, especially since there are no bunkers…just cart path/waste areas. Long distance from green to tee on the back nine with criss-cross cart path makes it possible to get lost. But I still like this course. One of the better public courses still available in the area.

Golfnow is a scam

Their hot rates cost more than booking direct, and they wouldnt give me a refund. Total scam!
