Course is fun but they need a starter that can organize the first tee a bit better.

Not again.

Fowho the price I thought it would be good. Wrong!

Pro-shop service less than wonderful.

Pace of play real bad. Foursome ahead had a player who needed to go to practice range. Kept hitting mulligans every hole seemingly without asking anyone.. Never hit a fairway. I was sorry for the two players who had the bad luck of joining his twosome.

I blame his playing partner for bringing this 100 handicapper to a golf course. Even this one.

Nice 61 par course

Layout very convenient for good pace of play - greens very near next tee box. Some challenging par 3s.

Finished in the dark.

2:04 start time should leave plenty of time to finish before dark. Starter could've done much better job putting twosomes and singles together. Nice job otherwise.

Get what you pay for but not really

Very small pitch and put course, great for kids. Pace was so slow that I almost lost my mind. For me it was not enjoyable. My son was playing for the first time as where many other kids in front of us. With direction from their parents the kids all did well in keeping pace but the guys in front of them where aweful. It’s such a tiny course all the tee boxes and greens are literally next to each other. I’m not trying to bomb 200 yard green landings with people standing right next to it. We got 8 holes done in 2 1/2 hours. Remember these are all par 3 holes with one 312 yard. It’s hard to even play when you are cold and not swinging most of the time. Bucket of balls is better, $9.00 on GN would be good value if you could at least play in peace and not have two groups behind you waiting at every tee. People just roll right past you looking for an open box. It’s comical and won’t be returning even for $9.00

Fun Course if operated properly

The guy at the front desk seemed to hate his job/life when my group was checking in. The course was backed up pretty bad even with a 5:45 tee time. Good course to practice your short game but I won't be going back due to how poorly ran this course is now. Lesson here is you get what you pay for.

Slow play with rude golfers

Price drew me in and then I knew why fivesomes hitting multiple balls and no course Marshall to assist

Poor food and surly cook cashier

5 +hours rounds probanly considered fast play

No range practice area and in my round spring break made course even more crowded

Very friendly pro shop did not make up for the above

Worst Day Ever

The pace of play was unacceptable. We spoke to the golf manager after the first hole because he scolded us for playing the first hole twice but disappeared. It was backed on the second hole. On the 18th, there were three groups backed up when we arrived on the tee. Everybody was angry.

Rude staff and inept marshalls

The women who check you in are extremely rude and the marshalls are completely inept. They were not keeping pace of game and allowing people to blast inappropriate music from their golf carts that was very distracting. I will never return.

Slow...Exec Course

Note...this is an executive course, par 60. Was packed when I played on a Friday afternoon but that's probably a given. Long waits in between holes. Course/fairways/greens were in fair condition. This is a good course for beginners and folks looking to learn the game, not the serious weekend golfer. Everyone was friendly, would go back but only if I were looking to save $ on a round or help teach friends/family.
