First Time Playing

Course Closed

Made a time for a Saturday foursome, paid the upfront fees, and we made the pilgrimage to the course only to find it closed. No notification from the course, nor GolfNow. So yeah, not a great experience at all.

First Time

Course was in excellent shape. Layout was interesting enough and it didn’t “bore” you. Like the doglegs on the course. Greens were slow though but I guess it’s that way with blue grass greens. Only gripe I had was that we started over 30 minutes after our tee time because supposedly Ladies groups who played the Back Nine first had “priority” when teeing off on the front (?). Apparently that’s the way it is according to two locals I played with.

Great course, slow greens

My only knock is the putting greens are way, way too slow. Almost impossible to transition from other courses that have normal green speeds.
