Thanksgiving Golf

Played on Thanksgiving day. Shotgun start on the 11th. Pace of play was great. Only waited to hit a couple times. Conditions on course were better than just about any of the other 6 public courses I’ve played in last couple months in Sac/Folsom area. Will be back soon for more.

Pace and Marshal

The pace of play stared EXTREMELY SLOW but the Marshal spoke with the group ahead of us and the pace improved. Thank you it saved my game.

Good conditions

I have played this course about 10 times in the last 2 months. Both fairways and greens are in good shape compared to most courses in the area.

Solid course

Like the course and the layout . Good conditions . Only complaint the entire course was soaked like kill the sprinklers once in a while . Tee shots rolling like 5 feet and some balls plug in green . Green speed decent They look faster than they are . Would recommend for the money . Pace of play was fantastic we played a 4 some in just over 4 hours which is awesome for weekend play.

Really Slow Play

A tournament backed everything up. There was a 2 hole gap that we closed up after 3 holes and then from then on it was a 5-10 minute wait at every hole. Super slow.

Perfect Weather

Nice round. Course is in nice shape for this time of year. Able to get off early completing the round in just over 3 hours. No one in front of us until 18, and no one behind us. Felt like a private course.
