Good time!
The course is great shape! Hot day and the pace of play was excellent. Would have enjoyed a Happy Hour snack and beverage but the restaurant isn't open in summer- sad.

Great Place for a round
This was my second time to play. The pace was fast and the course lay out is really nice. There's GPS in the carts and they provide range balls included in the round complimentary. Everyone is very friendly. Don’t pass this course up

To make up for air-raiding the greens, they discounted our fee for a round of golf. Thank you & it’s much appreciated.

range and nice putting green included, by the 1st tee box. course was in good condition, fairly wide fairways and rough not too long. greens are good size and were cut for a nice speed. there are a few holes with water cutting thru a couple fairways to be aware of and some nice views. i was paired up with someone and had a good round.

Course conditions okay for this time of year - greens are in reasonably good shape
Overall a good experience, but we were stuck behind a painfully slow four ball. Course is in pretty good shape, compared to other local courses which are typically let go this time of year

Great Course
Had a great time playing IMG. Best greens I’ve played so far in the area. True and fast. Fairway are gorgeous also. Interesting layout. Bunkers great. Practice area great. Can’t find one thing I’d complain about except maybe pace of play. Very slow. Other than that 4.5 out of 5.
