Fun course, but…

This course was a lot of fun. My buddy and I played a round on a Sunday at 9:15. Wasn’t crowded at all. No one in front of us or behind. I thought the layout of the course and surroundings were awesome. They charged us $65 to play which in my opinion should be the very highest price you should pay. I don’t think it’s worth the 95 or whatever price they normally charge. Greens were very sandy, grainy, and slow. And the lies in the fairway were good not great. Which is why I can’t give this course 5 stars. All in all though I would recommend trying it out.

Need to upgrade the golf carts

The course is pretty nice, fairways/bunkers are very nice, greens were really sandy and slow. Leaving this place 3 stars because they need to upgrade or maintenance the golf carts. Our first cart died on us on hole 6, then the next cart barely make it past 18! Also the gps on the second cart didn’t even work.

Nice Course

Enjoyed taking advantage of the wide fairways. If you are right handed and a slicer you have no water (very little anyway) to worry about. Greens rolled good and accepted the ball well upon hitting the greens. Nice course but still think its a little overpriced for the area.

The course was sanded

I have played this course several times before but today the course greens was all sanded and not ready for play. If the course would have told me all greens was punched and sanded I would have not paid to play this course. It was not worth $72.00 to play on sanded greens.

Greens bad.

The golf course did not tell us they sanded the greens before we paid to play. The green was horrible and full of sand like a beach. If I knew the greens was sanded I would have not played this course today.

Everybody knows the rules….

Overall great course but how am I suppose to sink putts without any birdie juice? They don’t sell alcohol inside. Yes, beer cart was running but not fast enough for the average alcoholic golfer. Also, no fireball on that cart? How am I suppose to keep my game under 100 without fireball?

Better greens at a muni

$100 per round, the greens had 3 different types of grass growing on them. Possibly the worst greens I’ve seen on a resort course in May.

Contraband best

Played the course with my wife and we loved the course

The staff were top notch, and made you feel like it was a

country club you belonged to. Pace of play was under 4 hours and the course was in top shape. Can hardly wait to go back and play it again.

Love it

Best course I have played all year. Great staff that make you feel welcome. Good course layout that makes you work the ball left, right and straight. Greens on their way to perfect and I will go back this year.
