Really gone down hill

I've regularly played this course since several years ago. It's really gone down hill since I first played. The staff are rude, the pace of play is slow, the greens are mediocre, and the bunkers are mud half the time. I am constantly losing balls because people are grabbing them and there are random people walking the course half the time (don't leave your stuff unattended). The staff seem to think it's everyone else's problem but their own that this place is garbage. Might be time to reassess where the problem areas really are and start making corrections. Will never play her again thanks to 3 bad experiences in a row.

A Great Course at a Snail's Pace

I'll start by saying the course was in beautiful shape. The greens were great and quite tricky. You could see that the recent rain had helped fill in some of the dry spots with lush green grass in spots on the fairway. The rough was a little long but made for some fun and challenging shots.

We had a 10:24 tee time on a Saturday so I knew it was going to be a slow round but it was worse than I thought. We teed off 20 minutes late and the round took... wait for it... nearly 6 hours! The sun was setting as we finished. Quite insane. So I went at a bad time and that was that but again, very nice course. I'd love to play it again on a weekday morning or something but you wouldn't catch me out there on a Saturday morning again. No sir.

Do not play here

This course has really gone to crap. The fairways are all bare. The greens are the only thing that’s somewhat decent. The sand traps are in terrible shape. This course is for beginners. If you have a decent handicap, do not play here. When I got to hole 16 some random people jumped in front of us just as we were finishing up putting. I ah e no idea where they came from. No rangers to even watch what’s happening.
