Very Enjoyable Place To Play

Played weekday late morning round as a single. Was paired with a twosome. Course was almost empty. Greens slow but pristine and true. Some tee boxes a bit thin. Fairways in OK condition. Sand traps needed to be groomed. Staff (especially Mike in clubhouse) very friendly and accommodating. Recommend this course and look forward to returning soon.

Really Nice Course

The course was in really good condition with even paced greens that were well prepared and presented. A decent challenge for golfers of varying standards with a good choice of tees available.

Pristine Conditions, Excellent Staff

Hadn’t played IMG for a while and was very pleasantly surprised at the overall improvement of the course. Greens & traps were top notch. Fairways & tee boxes in good shape. Very friendly and accommodating staff (especially the starter: Tim). And best of all: The place was almost completely empty and we were able to play at our pace without being pushed or held up. Looking forward to playing here again soon.

Pace of Play Frustrating

Pace of play was hurry up and wait! Slowest I've ever experienced here. Was very frustrating, took us 4 hrs and 40 mins to complete a round.

Great course and in excellent condition. Staff is also great. But the long waits and backed up T-Boxes was a little much today.

A constant

Img as always is in great shape. Practice area before the round is always nice, and the guys working are great. Today there was a large group of out of staters playing and it dragged the pace to a crawl where 5 groups were on the par 5 7th. Unfortunate break today with that, but play here often and will keep doing so.
