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.
