Didn’t get to play

This was a terrible experience. I play here at least once a week. When I got there they confirmed my teatime. I told them that I should be getting a card as well and they said well not today. I said why? He replied that they don’t have any and if I wanted to play I would have to walk. I am 69 years old and paid for a cart. My teatime was for 11:49 AM. At 11:25 AM the starter told me that my group was teeing off right now. I still had no cart and was not going to carry my clubs. And a huff the starter said let me go talk to the pro shop. When she came out she said that you will ride with one of the members of the foursome that was already teeing off. I explain to her that I have COPD and that riding with somebody else it’s not an option. She said what is COPD and there’s nothing she can do. I asked if I could wait until there was a cart available and she replied yes you can but there are at least three groups of four Ahead of you.

I ended up forfeiting my money and went home.

This whole episode makes me rethink of ever playing here again

Great exec course

7 of 9 greens are very good. 2 not very good but getting better.

Couple of challenging holes. A par4 and 2 par 3s.

Elevation changes and a water hazard. Really more than an executive course.

Started playing here this year and keep coming back.

No restaurant:(
