Very nice course a bit easier than the South corse

Enjoyed the round, course was in very good condition in spite of lots of earlier rain was cart path only which I respect in order to keep the fairways is such nice shape. Greens were just punched so they were terrible to put on, but I am glad to see such efficient maintenance being done.

I look forward to coming back soon when greens fill back in

First Time Playing

Very nice track in very good shape

First time playing the South course here. Was in nice playing condition, very well maintained. Greens were nice except it seems a lot of players don’t fix their ball marks, so there is a lot of marks on greens.

Nice, challenging layout and I enjoyed the playability of the course.

I booked another t time for this Saturday!

Staff is rude

Course is awesome, staff was horrendous. Rudest and snobby as I've ever encountered golfing.. It is what it is though, play here for the course only.

Nice course

Good course, for the most part fairways and greens are in good condition. Management is taking the pandemic protection seriously, which is a plus! Overall, a good experience.

Beautiful Course

Played the Northeast course. Definitely a first class course with some carpet fairways and beautiful hole views from the tee box. Requires course management skills, you'll use every club in your bag. Some blind shots with unseen hazards closer than you think. Greens are mostly large but really show all the unrepaired ball marks! Only negative thing. Really enjoyed the round.

Good Time had by all!

Compass is a good course but can get over played at times and the greens suffer because of it.

FIX your ball marks folks! takes 30 seconds

July 4th

The staff was very courteous. The course challenging with shot placement needed to score. Fairways were green and rough was tough. Quite a few blind shots. Greens were a lil dry but that weather didn't help at all. Overall the course was in good condition and well worth the time and money.

Next time I am in town I'll play it again.

bad greens

Not a bad course if you can get a deal but the greens were pretty rough and other than the cart guys, the staff was rude.

Fine

I played the Southwest course. Fairways were in good shape, but the rough was really patchy in a lot of places. Most disappointing were the pockmarked greens. I was disappointed so many players were not repairing any pitch marks. It wasn't so bad that you couldn't putt, and the greens did run well, but it still left an impression on me. The layout had a lot of blind shots so having some course experience would have helped.

It's unfortunately not a walkable course.

Staff was great and I thought they were taking proper COVID precautions so that I didn't ever feel at risk.

Finished in 4 hours and 10 minutes which was disappointing for a 7:12 tee time - was held up at a couple points by the groups in front of us.
