Maintained well.

Course in great shape and layout very nice. Just need to find the right process to maintain greens in better shape. Sand top dressing not fun to putt on and grass not completely covering green.

great course, needs a marshal to monitor pace of play

I like the course and have not had pace of play problems before, but today it was insanely slow. It was taking so long that we ended up leaving after 16 holes. Overall I would give the course 5 stars, but the pace of play really is a downer and should be addressed.

The Manley Cup- Round 2

The course is well maintained and definitely has some great drainage. We had to wait about an hour due to a thunderstorm on the turn, but was still able to finish the back 9. We will definitely be back on one our next annual golf runs.

Course conditions are terrible.

Ignoring the last couple of wet days, the course has a lot to improve. Fairways and rough are exactly the same you can tell them apart. Lots of dead patches along the entire fairways on all holes. Green have a lot of dead grass. You go here to work on iron play that’s about it.

Beside getting stuck behind a group of six that took an hour to play five holes and wouldn’t let me play through the course was great. Ended up just biting the bullet and skipping a hole so I could get ahead of them and enjoy ot more. Once I did that it was nothing short of great, great views, great fairways, and great greens. Very happy with it!
