It’s okay

One of the cheaper courses in the area but the pace of play was the worst I’ve ever seen. Didn’t tee off until 15 minutes after my tee time and it took almost 2.5 hours to finish 9 holes. I didn’t feel like playing a 5 hour round so I left after 9. I’d go back but only on an early morning tee time

Not worth it

Horribly slow pace and was insane. 3 hours and 50 minutes to play first nine holes. Back nine was a bit better so ended up with 6 hours 40 minutes. MLK day golf… there was a tournament there so every hole was backed up and literally it was waiting game. Only thing I liked was a green condition and it is good enough to give 4 stars.

6:20 Pace of Play!

Took 3:10 mins to play the front nine on a Sunday.

Did not finish the back because it got too dark, despite having a 12:30 tee time (with sunset at 530 pm).

Won’t be returning on a weekend or maybe ever until they switch to 10 min intervals.

Jamming the place too full ruins the what could otherwise be an ok course.

Horrible booking

Showed up on time before my tee time , only to wait another 47 minutes to tee off. They refused to refund or compensate for their double bookings of tee times. There was a literal 10 cart wait on hole number 1 and throughout the entire course. It took us 40 minutes to play 3 holes. I strongly suggest to play elsewhere. I have not seen this level of incompetence when it comes to teeing off when you’re supposed to. My original tee time was at 148 I didn’t tee off until 237! Completely unacceptable!!!

Fun round in the strong wind

Other than slow playing behind a group that’s super slow it was a fun round.

Saturday back up

Course is undergoing a new system, so tee times were backed up. Great staff, always friendly! Good course to play.

Nightmare Golf!

On a Thursday, and very excited for our first time at this course...showing up to a see golfers everywhere. From the the practice grees, to the driving range, was already feeling uneasy and dissatisfied from the mere presence of overcrowding. With a 12:30 tee time, we arrived more than an hour early, and couldn't even get onto the driving range. Golf carts were 8 to 10 deep at the 1st hole (No exaggeration). Groups of 4, and sometimes 5, were going out every 4 minutes. We started 50 minutes late and took almost 3 hours for the first 9 holes. We decided to leave...would never complete before dark. Nightmare!!
