Good course layout

Overall, I'd say they're a little above average, and the course layout is quite good. The only minor point was that the pace of play was a bit slow.

Too Tough For Seniors

The golf course is just too long for Seniors. There are too many long Par 4/s, where I have no chance of reaching the green in two. The yardage on the scorecard does not reflect the length: it says 5900 (roughly) from the Red tees; it probably plays 6200 at least. No can do at my age.

Good Course, Pace and Challenge

The course was in good shape but the greens had not exactly been plugged but there were vertical lines on a lot of the greens that affected the roll of the ball. We finished in 4 hrs and 5 minutes. Enjoyed the long par 4s. There is no beverage cart on the course.

Good Course

Before I booked this course, I read the other reviews. They are very accurate. Fairways, bunkers, greens, and fringe areas are all good. Only issue is tee boxes are a bit chewed up. Also, it is a walking course, though can get hilly in some spots. I didn’t walk, but the 76 year old I played with did.

Good Track

Nice course with fairways that are in good shape and most greens as well. Agree with another reviewer that the tee boxes need some love. However, not an issue teeing off on them. Will play again.
