Great Experience

Pleasantly surprised with the conditions of the Course. Staff was very professional and helpful and pleasant. The Hot Dogs were tasty. Couldn't beat the price . It is a beautiful setting. We will definitely be back.

Pace of Play is Awful due to Recent Tee Time Changes

They recently moved the tee times to 7 mins apart and the first tee will have no less than 8 groups waiting. You will see multiple groups waiting on every tee box. I assume they did this due to Daylight Saving time but it should be 9-10 minutes apart for the course layout. After 4 hours we had played 11 holes and left.

Fun layout and friendly staff but the changes have made the course unplayable. Photo attached was at our tee time of 11:19, we ended up teeing off at 12:24.

First Time Playing

Over hated

I saw a lot of bad reviews but I can’t see why, granted it wasn’t crazy busy. The layout is really enjoyable even for beginners. Course was in pretty good shape. A few greens were getting patched but nothing that impedes the play.

Expect 6 hour rounds

They stack tee times every few minutes. If you come on a nice day you can expect to tee off 20-40 minutes late and wait for every shot. The course layout is fun but condition is mediocre at best. If they didn’t stack tee times the way they did it would be worth it

Maybe they forgot they're in hospitality

The started went out and brought me in with 2 holes left and 20 minutes of daylight left. I get it. You want to go home.. I am in hospitality as well and we never rush anyone out even when they show up as we are closing. With the course in just barely ok shape I would think they would cater to every customer to go above and beyond. I could have just finished and it would have taken the same amount of time as it took them to get every other golfer in.. I usually get done just fine before sunset. I'll take my business somewhere else

Course's in geat shape

Although I hate car path rules only, seeing the need for reseeding was evident. Every water drug was full and every ball cleaner was filled with soap and water as well. This is much unlike Buffalo Creek where the water jugs are dry and the ball washers are either empty or have no bristles.

Just watch the Southwest wind prediction. That plant will knock you out on the back nine. lol.

Won’t be back

Today I’ve seen something I have never seen before and it was a tensome playing! That’s right, a tensome! A group of 10 with 8 golf carts playing together on a Sunday at 3pm when it was busy. So obviously this backed up the entire course and had to skip 2 holes just to make it move. Who let this happen?! Course is also in terrible shape. A lot worse than last year that I remember. Won’t be back.

Pace of play is always an issue since they don’t have rangers. But, it’s a great course and the staff are fantastic

Vastly improved fairways...

.... but several greens still have rather large spots and patches of sand.

Driving range is open again all day long.

Great muni. Love the layout. Some greens are not good. If you avoid the Sandtraps on the greens. It's good.
