Slowest greens of my life
Greens in good shape but running at a 6 MAX on the stimp. Everything else not bad except a really slow back 9. Fun layout for match play though.

Greens are hurting.
Fairways are fine, not great.
Greens were really disappointing this time.
Love the challenge of the layout. Some tight fairways with lots of elevation changes up and downhill. Longer par 3’s.
No driving range. Putting green and separate chipping area with bunker.
Pace was solid. No long waits.

The course has a nice layout
The fairways could use a little more over seeding.
Greens are in good shape and fast. Overall good course to play.

Course needs some rain
Enjoyed the course but not much grass in the fairways. Area is down in rain and not much grass is growing. Greens were a little sandy but rolled pretty well.
Would definely try it again provided they had more grass

Played the course approx 8 years ago.
The course layout was great, the greens were excellent except for a few that were bumpy, but playable. The majority of the fairways were a bit sparse. The areas around the greens were very good. The cart paths were exactly the same as eight years ago, and that is not a good thing....that requires a lot of work....overall, it was worth the fee.

This course has come along way over the past couple years…a few of the greens still need work and some spots on the fairways could use some more attention…BUT it has greatly improved over the last couple of years and it is a fun track with lots of elevation changes.
