Nice greens - terrible pro shop staff

The course was in great condition considering all the rain. The greens were smooth and fast. The pro shop staff is very unprofessional with no customer service at all. The terrible and unprofessional proshop staff service needs to be addressed by management.

The course needs some TLC

This was my first time playing the course and the fairways were in horrible condition. They were hard and had far too many bald spots. Players should be rewarded for hitting the fairway and have a good lie. The greens were in pretty good shape though. Pace of play was actually really good. The 45-50mph winds causing me and ither golfers to end the round early are not a part of my negative review as that's not at the fault of the staff. I may consider playing again if they work on the course and lower the green fees a little.

I wished the greens were as smooth and fast as the practice green. I didn’t get my wish. The actual greens were softer and slower.
The bunkers were very good. The tee boxes were patchy and uneven.

This course is an embarrassment!

The fairways are in horrible condition. If you hit a shot to the middle of the fairway, don’t expect to find your ball on grass. If I ever play this course again, I’ll bring a small 2X2 hitting mat. To be fair, the greens are in good condition, if only players would bother to fix their ball marks. Pace of play was 5 hours +.

Light Challenge and Fun

Not a bad golf course. The only complaint I have is the group behind us that did not have patience and would play right at us. Even when waiting for the group in front of us to finish on the green or leave their approach shot we were told by the group behind us to "hurry up". Had another group ahead of us that picked up my golf ball and never put it back in the same spot and stole it. I do not knownif thats how the regular's play at this golf course but after those incidents my attitude towards the rest of the round killed my game as all I was thinking about is hurrying up and hoping I don't get my golf balls stolen. Anyway, greens are challenging and the ammentities from the range to the clubhouse are excellent.

Greens are well maintained

Played during lull in rain. Sloppy in fairways was expected. Overall enjoyed round with only 1 lost ball due to rabbit hole. Not inclined to reach down under. Putting pretty good as all were firm.

Need work on fairways

Course is in decent shape. Need work on fairways. There are too many bald spots with dirt/mud. They have cut back some. “Trouble” rough area which makes the course easier to play.

Greens are in decent shape and shots will hold the green if hit properly.

Tee boxes also need work. Brown spots as well as uneven lies. The tee boxes should be flat and have grass

Good course, winter conditions didn’t help.

A couple tee boxes were uneven. Fairways and rough have seen better days but the greens were fantastic. Pace was slow. I think they set people up 8 minutes apart so the round lasted almost five hours. Don’t play this course after 3, the wind can be brutal

Fun course

Real fun course with some beautiful views. Although it had rained the night before the course was still in good shape and greens were well kept. Can’t wait to play in better weather.
