Best course!

I’ve played many courses here and Canada (where I’m from) and this course was by far the best. I loved the challenge and I ended up playing one of my best games. My husband and I can’t wait to play here again. He also loved playing here as well.

Watch where you park

Parked my just cleaned car in the parking lot left of the bag drop and close to the Pro Shop. When I got through playing the car was covered with reused water spray from the sprinkler system. It dried on and was very difficult to remove. Why is it necessary to run the sprinklers on customers cars? Can’t that wait till evening or early morning??

One of the most irritating rounds of golf we have ever played

I like this course but yesterday was beyond frustrating. We were behind 2 groups ( ok, I’ll say it…women) who were playing some course vs course match. We waited on every shot. The posted pace of play is 2 hrs 7 minutes per 9 holes. We were over 2 1/2 hours for just the front 9. I understand playing a match but they had no idea how to be ready to play. At hole number 6 a ranger came by. He said he understood our point but said there was nothing he could do. We did not understand his point. He told us they were only playing 9 holes. On the greens they would stand and watch one putt before they would even begin to contemplate their own putt. Additionally, they were 2 carts of people who were watching them but from far enough back that we could not tee off until the players were on the green on par 4 holes or near the green on Par 5s. The only reason our round took 5 hours was because they finally left the course after 16 holes. Had they not left, we might still be out there. Likely the most irritating round of golf I have ever played. I play about 80-100 rounds per year. I’ve been a golfer for about 40 years.

Great Course for good players

Enjoyed the course. The greens are fast and true. Play was slow. This course layout requires strategic placement of your tee shots. Not for beginners!!

Very nice golf course in good condition

I have played the course before and the Oaks is a very challenging 9, while the Marsh is a really nice layout. The only learning experience for us, is we teed off at 1:00 and they put a lot of twosome and threesomes behind us and we had two fairly high handicappers with us. We felt bad, so let several of the twosomes and threesome go through, which just adds a fair amount of time to the round and a couple of members (twosome) were very rude when we were waiting for the threesome that we just let through and asked if we jumped in front of them and used very inappropriate 4 letter words. I might recommend if they can to let the twosomes and threesomes that come out to play a quick round to start on one of the other 9's. It took us 3 hours on the front, due to letting people through and an hour 45 on the back.
