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 !!!

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.

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.

Great course

Course itself was in great condition, greens are very fast, tee boxes fair, fairways are great. Only complaint is the lack of balls at range and also no use of facility after round of golf. Went to hit some chip shots after playing 18 and I was asked to leave. It’s most certainly a members course and it shows.
