Disappointed this time

Booked a tee time with my buddies. Arrived early and no carts available. Not a big deal since we were going to the range to warm up anyway. Less than 5 mins to tee time and still no cart.

Finally got a cart but didn’t get to tee off til 25 mins after scheduled tee. There was a line of carts at the first tee box. Groups ahead also were late. No marshal the whole day.

It was busy and the staff should’ve had somebody out there keeping the pace up. As we were playing we saw several 4-person groups in single carts. Not usually a big deal but on a busy day... I’d expect better planning or something.

To start the back 9 was a 2-3 group wait. I mean c’mon. Again lack of a marshal on a busy day.

I’ve played here several times and had great experiences. For me today was a shocker.

First Beautiful Fall Like Day

Greens were in great condition with very few left behind divots! Roughs are treacherous so stay on the fairway or 1st cut! Shot an 87 with 8 pars and 0 Birdies :( other than that it was a Great Round...

Locals might creep up on you

Greens in great shape, even after being punched 7-10 days prior. Locals in their own carts can be a little pushy if you're new to this course..

River oaks

Tee to green, course is in good condition. Greens are really poor, it appears they were aerated two to three weeks ago based on sand still on greens, however still very, very bumpy and unbelievably slow.

They should still be offering aeration discount.

Green aerated

Love this course, but today Greens had been aerated and sanded. No notice on golf now of these conditions. Putting was impossible.

Fun open course but price is getting outrageous

I love this course because it has wide open fairways but still challenging enough. Pace of play is great but the price just keeps going up. Used to play here a lot but now only if I can find a deal through golf moose or Groupon, non deal is price is $35-65 depending on time. Staff hasn’t been very friendly either when I’ve been lately.

Alright

The greens were in pretty rough shape, it looked as if they are trying to fix them but every green had deep brown spots the had a ton of sand on them. But really the rest of the coarse was pretty forgiving. All the sand traps were pretty wet, made it difficult to hit from .
