Super dusty

Tee boxes, fairways, and greens are all in great shape. Everything else is dry and dusty.

Awful

We quit after eight holes and two hours and 45 minutes. The staff in the pro shop was defensive and belligerent when we asked for a nine hole refund. He said repeatedly well, it's this time of year. That's no excuse when they have teetimes every eight minutes and no Rangers paying attention.

Course was OK but we had a 10:11 reservation through Golfnow for 4 players and the course had NO record! Luckily, I had a copy on my phone. They did honor it & we started about 30 min. late.

Not happy with Golfnow...

Nice Course and value for February

Clubhouse hostess is very friendly at check in. Course was in decent shape. Fair value for the money for February play. Pace of play in early morning was fine. Course was very busy.

Frustrated

Very frustrating to book a T-off time jam packed and they allowed a couple who showed up 40minutes early to T-off in front of us causing a larger back log

Very slow pace this day.

The course is busy all the time, but my group was stuck behind a threesome consisting of an elderly gentleman and a young couple. They just didn’t seem to have any idea as to golf etiquette. We waited on them on virtually every shot, and the never once considered letting us play thru. To make matters worse, the young couple was playing out of the same bag, which not supposed to be allowed. Seems like the starter should have caught that. On guy in our group couldn’t take it and left after 5 holes. When we finally finished the front 9, my other partner decided to leave but I wanted to get a few more holes in. I thought surely that group would quit after 9 but there they were lollygagging around on the tenth tee. At that point I’m by myself and they still didn’t offer for me to play thru. I finally just went around them to the next hole while they were standing around chatting on the tee box.

I like the course and the fairways and greens are in good shape (off the fairway is another story). They really need to get a Marshall on the course to monitor pace of play.
