Eleven bridges span the many small streams running through the golf course, protecting natural waterfalls and wetland habitats.

Absolutely horrendous service.

I am a somewhat new golfer and usually shoot high 80’s to low 90’s. I made a tee time first thing in the morning for a group of four and everything was fine at first until the course Marshall came out. Being that I’m a new golfer, it’s obviously going to take us longer to golf than some others, my group was playing through every hole and was keeping a normal pace. On probably the 3rd hole, the course Marshall drive past us super slow not saying a word and proceeded to just sit behind us and watch. This kept up for the rest of that hole and the next before I approached him. After asking what he needed he tell me “your group needs to be playing ready golf”. I shrugged it off and said okay thinking it was just a reminder. He continued following us up to about the 8th hole just slowly driving behind us. As you could probably guess that doesn’t help with pace of play, it’s much worse trying to play with someone staring at you waiting for you to move. By the time we were at the 8th hole he approached us again and told us we needed to hurry up and play faster because “they were booked for the day and there were foursomes behind us”. It was 9 am when we were told to hurry up on the 8th hole. We were even ahead of what their pace of play said and it seemed we were the only group being followed by this Marshall. I will not be returning and would never suggest this course to any of my friends/ family. The fact that your going to patronize paying customers and follow them around a course that is supposed to be nice and relaxing is bullsh*t. I’ve never had an experience like this anywhere else.

Well overpriced for the quality.

Track has great potential with narrow shoots and lots of water, however for the price of admission the course was in horrible shape. Tees and greens were bare in places or riddled with craters. Most of the cart path was dirt or sand and full of potholes.

Spent $70 for what was a $25 experience.

I hope they get a good super soon, the course has lots of potential, but we’ll not be back for that price tag.
