Poor Staff Scheduling and Course Play

This is second time we played the course. The pro shop and starters allow 9 hole groups to start at hole 10 when there are several groups of play coming off hole 9 and this creates 20 - 30 MINUTE DELAYS for golfers who make the turn at 9th hole. Pro shop should not allow afternoon golfers to start at hole 10 if they have groups of players playing 18 and making the turn at 9th hole. Golf pro shop needs to make changes and be cognizant of this as it is frustrating to golfers to wait and have other golfers cut into the course of play....

immaculate

The course is in very good shape. The greens in particular are near perfect and I only found one or two ball marks per green that hadn't been repaired (kudos to the resident golfers). The starter at the turn (hole 10) is a bit of a character...all bark, no bite. She's on a bit of a power trip, but take a second to chat with her and she's actually quite pleasant albeit quirky. Pro shop staff and the starter on hole one were extremely friendly and welcoming.

The course is fairly easy and in great shape. Most of the people you see here are rather stuck on themselves and the staff seems to be more worried about your proper attire than whether you enjoy your round of golf.

Lush green course

For RV resorts style par 3 courses it was a lot of fun and challenging enough with some long threes 170-195 yds, you could get by with every other clubs in your bag and leave them home along with the driver. Beautiful fairways leading to somewhat thick greens and slow rolls. Add reasonable rates and hot deals teetime I really enjoyed it!

Getting better

Much better than a few weeks ago. Both nines are open and practice facilities are set up.

Only real issue is the slowness of the greens, but that should resolve itself in the new year!

The course should not be opened

We drove 50 mil to get to the course. The weather was perfect and we look forward to the game. The course should not have been opened. The greens were totally unplayable!1 Fairways unprepared! Second nine was closed so we played first nine twice. This course might be very nice to play within the next two wks and never should be opened now. None of these deficiencies have been mentioned while booking through Golf Now. Had we known that we would never drove such a distance to play.. Golf Now should do a better effort to provide adequate information about course condition to their members. Huge disappointment, total waste of time and money!1

Unwelcoming, inappropritely rude resident on a verbal outrage.

A local resident rudely confronted us on the course., The staff were very kind & professional when we informed the Marshall & golf course staff after finishing our round... but the incident has deterred me from wishing to return.

This is a nice par 3. Bring your pull carts. No alcohol sold on course.

Greens and tee box could be cut more often but rough and features are nice

Don't waste your money

We paid for 18 holes but only played 9 because the staff put 3 walkon foursomes in front of us at the turn. We didn't want to wait a half hour to finish our round. The course is managed by older people who must be volunteers and know zilch about how to run a course. Happens every time.
