Long day
The course was in mediocre condition and the pace of play was ridiculous. We saw two Marshalls during our round driving along the course, but the pace of play was excruciatingly long. It took well over five hours to complete our round. I won’t be back and I don’t recommend this course.

Houses
Houses on all 18 holes. I personally don't care for that. Location of the course is not good ie travel time. Good value through golf now. Course layout was good, challenging. Greens were aerated when I played. Course condition was above average. Negative for me were the houses and Location.

It’s a fine place to play. Relatively open. Not a lot of tricky holes a great place to learn to play from the blues.
