I Recommend This Course
The course is well maintained.
It took about an hour and half to play 4 holes. Was not able to finish the round. Started at 1:15

Good course but overcharged me!!
I booked this course through the GolfNow app and paid $76 online. When I arrived, they didn’t check my online reservation or ask for any confirmation number. Instead, they charged me $100 at the counter.
After checking my credit card statement, I realized I was charged twice — once by GolfNow and once by the course. I emailed them about the issue but haven’t received any response, which is really disappointing.
The course itself is nice, but the way they handle bookings and customer service made the experience feel like a scam. I hope they fix this for future players and refund my 100$.

Pace of play not under monitoring!
Pace of play seems to go nowhere as no Marshall was not seen anywhere around. A 4 men team ahead had in fact a sort of lesson practice holding our play back too long!
