Quality course, slow play

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Green fees come with range balls, definitely a plus. Rates are reasonable. Course is in good shape, greens roll true and fast. Only one complaint is pace of play, with no rangers in sight.

Hope to be back

Got a good deal as a single on GN, otherwise IMG is a bit pricey. Played the course last year and remember it as being excellent. Was not disappointed.

Conditions are excellent. Only negative was pace of play. Almost 2.40 to play the front, it did pick up in the back.

Classless operation!

Unfortunately there isn't a zero star so one it is! Horrible customer service. AJ actually drove out on the golf course and harassed me?? Where does it end. Instead of harassing me why the starter moved me up a half hour, why don't you harass the slow play. 2.75 hours for 9 holes?? What a joke! I'll never be back and I let everyone else I know and see about the horrible customer service and attempts to overcharge me! I booked online for $45 for 18 holes and they tried to say it was only for 9 holes. Harassment about bringing a cooler full of water on hot day! The course needs to reconsider letting young punks run the proshop!

Enjoy our round. The course condition is the best I’ve experienced in 10 years.

We didn't know we were signing up for a shotgun

At the course we found out were in a shotgun that took 5 hours. We definitely would not have paid the money and played had we know that!!
