Usually better

I expect IMG to be in top notch condition because it usually is. Today I was a little disappointed. There were some bad spots on some fairways and some thin areas in the rough. The worst part was that the greens were all brown colored. Yes, they were receptive and rolled true. But the brown color made them even more difficult to read. Hopefully it is just temporary and I caught it on a treatment cycle or something. Next time….

On a positive note, I love the extensive practice areas. Also, the cart GPS displays have been upgraded so you can touch to get distances AND they have a nice green slope map - that I had never seen before.

Don’t know why conditions were inferior since we are coming into peak season. The weather has been fine. I will go back in a while and expect to see things great as per usual.

Great course, mediocre experience

Not a friendly staff. Came with wife and two teen kids and we are all golfers and belong to a nice private club. Staff was best cold and not at all welcoming. Pace was slow. We waited on every hole and didn't see one ranger. At the end, two guys jumped ahead of us and caused further delay.

The course itself is a fantastic layout and in pretty good condition. Wish the people side was better. Play if you get a chance but don't expect anybody to roll out the red carpet.
