Scenic
First time playing the course and it was great. Challenging but not overwhelming for people who shoot in the 80’s and low 90’s (which I do). Walkable course also. Shout out to a local who played in our group for the course advice.
Great course
First time golfing there. My husband and I enjoyed it. Staff was very friendly. Definitely will golf there again
Average golf course
Good layout. Average green condition. Fair putting green condition. Golf amenities were prepared for COVID-19.
I book on Golfnow and an entry error was made should have been a 2 some at 1:40 on Saturday the 6th. When I received my confirmation it was for Friday the 5th. Could not change with the automated system with Golfnow. Called the course and they had zero interest in trying to help me. The time on Sat was still open and they could have easily helped me. Unfortunately no help form Golfnow nor the course so will have to dispute with my cred card and my son and I will have to find a more accommodating place to play.
Covid19 Cup Design
We’ve played other courses that have a better cup design. We prefer the ball to drop into the hole about 3-4 inches into a plastic disc so you know that you’ve made your putt. Don’t like the ball hitting the upside down cup system.
SLOW, CROWDED, BASIC NECESSITIES, ASKS FOR CHARITY DONATIONS
I've played this course several times. It is by far the slowest course I have ever played. The earliest it's taken to finish a round 5 1/2 hours. On several occasions we simply quit after spending 3 1/2 hours to complete 9 holes. I've discovered that this is typical with all of the courses managed by American Golf. The reason is that they space their tee times 8 minutes apart as compared to the normal 10 minute break. Although this means greater profits for American Golf, it creates chaos by putting way too many groups on the course. On top of this, they have someone collecting for charity on one of the holes that delays play even further. Who wants to deal with one more group asking for money, especially when you're trying to relax and enjoy yourself. Also, is it too expensive to place a couple of ball-washers on the course?? It's basically a nice course run by a corporation whose sole goal is to maximize profits at the expense of their customers. Spend a little money, lengthen the period between tee times and quit asking for a hand out at the tee box!!!
Pretty views
There can be some very slow players, like older women .you should not golf if you are in a hurry anyways! To some that’s no big deal! I say they should have a Marshall speeding up the slackers a little bit , or remind the slow ones to let the faster ones play threw! There are usually huge gaps between groups randomly! Just makes for a longer than needed game! So lots of complaining going on at times! And I’m a lefty and it’s not a lefty friendly course if you play from the golds like I do! With all that being said, I still recommend this course to anybody , I’ll always go play this course when I can ! I’m not local !
Nice layout , beautiful course
Real nice fairways & greens in good condition , beautiful scenery golf
No
course !!!
Be ready for a long day
Beautiful course but very slow pace. Took just over 5 hours to finish our round. Fairways were in decent shape but greens could have been better.
The course is average.
The course needs water jugs. It has none, It has only one ball washer on the whole course,
Great early round
Booked early nine due to other activities. Pro shop got us off early, round was great. Beautiful day, staff great, course amazing.
Would it kill you to have water and ball washers???
No water or ball washers to be found ANYWHERE on the course. It's bad enough that though all the snow's been gone now for 8 weeks, they've only repaired ONE of the badly-damaged greens. (And even that repair, on 16, has suffered because the new surface has completely dried out. That raging river cruising through the course doesn't suggest there's water for you to use?) Strange how the greens are all dry, dead, and mostly-bare ... but the bunkers are wet and heavy.
Summer's here, guys -- GET YOUR ACT IN GEAR!
Course Should Be Closed Until It Recovers From Harsh Winter
The course is essentially unplayable. The greens are horrific. Nice scenery. Could be fun to play if it were not in such terrible condition. They should wait until the course recovers to open it up for play.
Not playable
Course is in the worst shape I’ve ever scene. They took my money, but didn’t tell us that the course was unplayable. Worst greens I’ve ever played.
Beautiful scenery
Course has not recovered from a hard winter. Greens and tee boxes were newly arriated fairways were in places bald and muddy. But, it’s always beautiful.
