Course is in good condition

Some holes are close together, cart paths intersect with each other. Starter was great! Range uses mat’s. 19th hole closed when we finished.

Office and Range Staff ruined the experience.

Man behind the register with the glasses treated us as if we were a burden to him. Gentleman working the range tried to inform us that we shouldn’t have grabbed a bucket of balls from the chipping range even though we were told to do so by another employee there. Range was bone dry and had zero golf balls available. Once he was informed that we were instructed to grab different golf balls by one of the other employees, he attempted to change his tune and say that he was just kidding (he wasn’t). Made it quite clear that I didn’t pay $75 to go and do his job for him. Would have loved to show up to a driving range that already had balls set up. After this experience, it’s quite clear why this is one of the cheapest courses in the area. You get what you pay for. Lesson learned. On a brighter note, the cart girl was phenomenal.

First Time Impressed and Will Return.

I was very impressed with the course design. There was plenty of room to keep the ball in play, and that was a good feature. The tees, fairways, and greens were all in good shape. There were several water hazards that were not noted by GPS, or the score card. This is a disadvantage for a first time player. Being snow bird season, the tee times were fully booked, and I was only able to complete 16 holes. Overall, I had a really good feeling about the course and the staff, I will try it again after Easter - when the snow birds head north.

Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Decent Layout with good greens

Our first time playing the course. The pro shop staff were not friendly at all. Didn't even bother with a Hello, appeared annoyed we were there; I advised our tee time, and he printed the chit handed it to me without even looking at me or "enjoy your round". Starter on the other hand was quite friendly and informative.

The layout is a decent challenge. The greens are what makes the course as they have some good undulations and run ran true at a faster pace/speed than most local courses. The bunkers have heavy beach type sand making shots more difficult. No marshal or ranger on course to keep things moving. Luckily, for us it wasn't more than a 4:30 hour round. I would play it again with a hot deal.

No Logo Ball Available

We collect Logo Balls so we were very disappointed at checking when we were told they were out of stock.

Great short game practice area and the course was challenging and in good shape.

Terrible pace of play

Course is in good shape , true greens, tough pin positions, which made u think about your shot. Pace of play was horrendous, had to wait on every shot. 3 foursomes waiting on tee box at same time. Unacceptable !!!

Nice course

I thought it was over priced (especially talking to the guys I play with) but I would recommend it. I don't find the course memorable.
