Mid Week Golf

Thinking Wednesday would be good to play booked a tee time for 1016a. Conditions of the fairways and greens were good considering mid August times usually mean drier conditions. Greens were soft and playable. Always enjoy my round here. However, today was horrible due to slow play. Tee time at 1016a didn't finish until 245pm. 4.5 hours to play with no Marshall in sight in bad. Yes it's Wednesday but the ones slowing up play wasn't new players or hackers. It was the old group, walking, waiting to hit until the greens clear and not even getting close to GIR. They weren't even trying to set their shots up until all clear. What a waste.

A bit fuzzy

The course is remote. However, it is laid out well and is in great shape. Not much difference between the tee selections. 200yard drives leave you with a mid iron to most par 4s while a 250 yard tee shot puts a wedge in your hand. Regardless of GIR the putting surface is extremely slow. I would like to see it mowed and rolled to take advantage of all the contours.

Nice Day for Golf

Pace of play was good. Course conditions were O.K. Greens a bit slow. Fun course to play. My only recommendation would be to put some water jugs on the course. Water is available in the clubhouse.

It's hot!

The greens were in good condition and most of most of the fairways were good too. The heat is hard on the fairways. I like the course.

Slow greens

Our tee time was 7:20. They didn’t open until 7:00. Bland design. Thick grass so your ball is likely to sit up in the fairway. Decent bunkers. Slow greens. Excellent pace of play.

Very slow greens

Overall the round was good. Nice course and layout. However, the green were unusually slow relative to many other courses. They seem to be “fuzzy”. First time playing the course, perhaps they were soon to be cut/rolled. Because they were so unusually slow, I did not adjust my putting stroke for just one round, which cost me serval strokes. I will likely play the course again, and then determine if the slow green are normal. Other than that I recommend the the course.

Nice course

The greens and fairways were well kept. The course was fairly wide open but the lakes and sand traps do provide a good challenge.
