Great Course

This was a great course well kept. even it was busy, still play went well. Only things i did not like is if you not in the fairway it was hard to find your ball.

The people running the place were Great.

Sunday Early Afternoon

4hr 40 min round, which is right around the average for a weekend afternoon. Dozen unrepaired ball marks per green. Bathroom by the 14th tee is out of repair (and very smelly). Everything else about the course is above average.

Unplayable

Course was punched, sanded, and soaking wet. Nobody mentioned any of it. Did not know conditions until the starter told us as we teed off. We were told to take automatic two-putts as greens were unplayable. No discount, no option, no notice. GOLF COURSE AGOYLD HAVE BEEN CLOSED.

You owe me a refund.

Fun Track!

Always a good round here. Friendly layout but also challenging on some holes. Conditions are really good right now and greens roll very true. All in all a good, fun, long track where it’s always a good time!

Slow but Plush

The rains made the course look better than I've seen it but the pace of play took the gloss off of it in a hurry. 3 groups on one T-box should never happen.

Pace of play slow when cart path only

Played on Friday 2/23/24 tee time at 3:00pm and only finished front 9 at 5:50pm. (2 hours 50 minutes for 9 holes) had a couple groups in front of us that could not hit the ball off the tee, but just looked like a slow day overall. This is a very nice and fun course, just didn’t like the slow pace of play. Think the cart path only had something to do with it.
