The Starter was the Finish.

The associate inside the clubhouse was great! Very nice, warming and welcoming. We get outside to get a cart to hit the range for a quick warmup at 9:05. The guy ACTING like a starter, TOLD us, "I can't give you a cart till 30 minutes before your tee time (we were scheduled for 9:40). We stood there, 5 minutes,till we were within the window to get the cart. So, we met his requirements, it's now 9:10. 4 people walked up behind us and they are directed to carts. Then he says to us, "put your stuff on that one", pointing to a cart. There's no key! I ask if I need to go inside and get a key, he says,"no, I give it to you." He grabs his clipboard, walks back and forth two or three times looking at it. Then comes over and sticks the key in. Then says, "there ya go." That guy is DEFINITELY THE WRONG GUY to be in that position for the golf course! Put him on a mower! No excuse for that kind of behavior for the PREMIUM money being spent "in season "!

OVER PRICED

This is a very short executive course. Like many of the courses in the area they take advantage of snowbirds and ridiculously overcharge. To their credit they do have a range, but it is off mats only. Staff were friendly enough and greens rolled nicely, OVER PRICED!

Overwhelming noise

The course is positioned right along I-75 and half the holes on the front nine are so noisy you can’t concentrate on your game. I mean on a couple holes you actually are hitting your ball along the barrier fence for the highway with no buffer at all The course conditions were pretty good and the staff was very friendly, but seriously we won’t be back. I like golfing because you’re out in nature enjoying a quiet time. Not here! The highway is really my only complaint, so if you don’t mind overwhelming noise you’re gonna be fine.

Not worth your money if you would like to have a full golf experience!

The total yardage is for 18 holes not for 9 holes! Very very short course! You will get done in less than an hour!

Pace of play

They changed the front and back nines this year. Front goes fast the back slows down a lot. Not sure if they should switch back.
