I Recommend This Course
Unfriendly Lady in Pro Shop
We booked our tee times ahead of time online and arrived early for play. We had a couple questions about the course and play, starter etc. The lady working there was very grouchy. She took our money, but didn’t want to give us any other info. There was not a long line behind us. We usually buy shirts, merchandise when we play at different golf courses. Instead we said we aren’t giving them any more of our money.

Staff not friendly
Lady in pro shop very unfriendly. Did not give us any info about course. We asked if they call us for tee time. She told us to show up at tee time. Starter told us we should have reported in earlier. ??

Beautiful
The course is very nice!! Someone in the proshop needs to tell the starters they aren't in charge and theirs is to be polite and get the groups off on-time period. They need to drop a tee time each hr and monitor the play on course with an employee educated about pace of play. The course is in great shape! The bar and food super plus a watering hole for your drinks of choice plus usually a beer cart (have cash). Overall excellent. Just need to fix pace of play and starters.

Pin placement
Putting was very difficult for the average golfer . Pins mostly were on side hills making it hard to score normal.
