Staff Ruin It

If it wasn't for the unfriendly staff here, the course would be alright to play at. At the turn, the guy behind the counter cursed at us and blamed us for going slow. Mind you, we had to wait at every hole for the group in front of us and at no time did the group behind us catch up to us. The rangers are constantly driving around to make sure pace of play is going well and never stopped to say we were going slow. If they are so worried about pace, they shouldn't have tee times be every 8 minutes. Won't be back.

The green are slow and balls bounce around, the cups looked like they had been in the same spot for 2 weeks with the edges completely rolled over and grass growing downwards. Most tee box's were lacking grass but the fairways were decent

Not worth the trip

I had higher expectations based on the reviews I read on GolfNow. This course disappointed in all areas except pace of play. Perhaps the pace was good because people avoid it. Boring, flat layout, generally abysmal tee boxes, greens that don't roll true and are slow as molasses. Cart paths full of potholes. They made us play "cart path only", but why if they don't take care of the plalce?

Getting Better

First off, I got out for a hot deal which influenced this review just based on the fact that the round was only about $25 w/ cart at 6:45 AM.

It poured the night before and the course was wet. The greens were definitely slow and very hard to give a fair assessment. But from what I did see I could tell they were getting better. Much better than last year. No giant patches of crabgrass on the 3rd hole par 3 green. But still not great, I could see decent amount of patchier spots but it looked like they were on the up and up.

Fairways were great, some boxes needed a lot of work, most were okay, everything else on the course wasn’t bad.

Fun layout for anyone who hasn’t played, shorter course so it’s fun for beginners and high handicappers like myself.

Course was challenging and in good condition especially for the amount of rain we received the night before. Green was slow, but the condition remain wet in the early morning.
