Houses
Houses on all 18 holes. I personally don't care for that. Location of the course is not good ie travel time. Good value through golf now. Course layout was good, challenging. Greens were aerated when I played. Course condition was above average. Negative for me were the houses and Location.

It’s a fine place to play. Relatively open. Not a lot of tricky holes a great place to learn to play from the blues.

Horrible Experience
The staff does nothing to improve pace of play.
There were groups staffed 3 deep on holes 2-7 with no one concerned from the staff to move groups along.
After 3 holes our GPS alerted us that our group was already 17 min behind schedule. We were on pace for a 5 and half hour round.
I'm probably not saying anything new.
HORRIBLE STAFF...HORRIBLE STAFF!!!!
Will not play here again as every time I try it's always the same result..I left after 7 holes!!!!

Very good !
The guy handling the bags and the starter were super. The guy in the pro shop could have been a bit friendlier. The fairways and greens were in great shape with the greens have good speed. Will play this again!!
