Good round of golf

Had a good time golfing with friends, deal was good for hot deal. conditions were wet and soggy, no fault of course. The pace was a little slow due to beginner golfers in front. No Marshal checking on the pace.

This course was very picturesque and could be a gem but would have benefited with greater maintenance. Talking to regulars there they told me the course was closing in May and hence the lack of upkeep. The staff at the course were very friendly and helpful.

Good bones but needs TLC

Just the right amount of challenge for the average golfer but fairways weren't in great condition owing in part to winter rains. Played in just over 4 hours and did not have to wait on any hole except #1. In its current shape I would not pay more than $50 to play it.

Four singles

Hoooked up with two separate single on the first 3 holes. Another single join us on hole #4. Actually played good until the 18th hole where I lost a ball on my 3rd shot to the green. Still walked away with a bogey 👍

6 hour pace, food takes 30m+

Never playing here again.

6 hour pace, maybe longer but left on the 15th hole.

Food took 25+ min at the turn, didnt have that much time and they wouldnt give me a refund.

This course is managed as poorly as any course I’ve seen. They dont even try to pretend to do a have decent job. Terrible range that needs to be leveled.

This place would be better off closing, and using the space for new homes.
