Nasty Ranger

The course was in fantastic condition however that was overshadowed by a ranger who pulled up to us on the 7th tee and without any warnings “Guys we have a big problem here. You are 18 minutes off the pace (we were maybe 10 if that) and if you don’t step it up we are going to have you removed from the course.” Never in my life has this ever happened. It’s a shame because the course was fun. I will not return and I will make sure to tell all my friends who golf of this experience as well and recommend they play elsewhere.

Nasty ranger

The course was in fantastic shape however that was overshadowed by the ranger who without warning “ Guys we got a big problem here, you are 18 minutes of pace (we were 10 minutes off) and if you don’t pick it up we are going to have to remove you from the course.” Never in my life have I encountered that before. Unfortunately even though the greens were great and the course was fun I won’t be returning and I’ll be sure to let everyone I know that golf’s about our experience!

Pace of Play

Very nice facility my only comment is the pace of play can be very slow. Started at 1:05 finished at 6pm. 5 hours is too long

I've played here quite a few times. The course is very challenging. The greens are fast and smooth. You may not score as well as you do at other courses, but you will enjoy your round.

Great course

Great course In great condition! The only downside for me is the course is not marked (distance) very well. If you are not using a laser you have to search for ground markers, but if that is the only issue you are doing very well!
