Caught a deal

Caught a deal for 62 dollars on a Sunday midday. Course was great, conditions in most spots were solid. Pace of play was held up by a foursome in front of us ours that left us sitting on a tee box with the group behind us usually watching us tee off. No ranger to improve it.

Not worth it right now

I normally have nothing but positive things to say about this course. But I played 3 days in a row over the Labor Day weekend and just was not impressed at the $85 rate. That is a premium price and you expect a premium course.

Several greens have significant bentgrass damage spots and weed issues. They were running much slower than normal which was frustrating. Fairway bunkers are fluffy vs firm sand and half of them clearly had nto been maintained by grounds crew or raked. In addition, one day my girlfriend came out when I played as a single and I was charged a $20 or $25 rider fee. The next day I also played as a single and they gave me my own cart no issues (I don't mind pairing up or anything just how it went down). For someone who plays this course probably 30 times a year this kind of miffed me a bit.

For this weekend pace of play was much better than expected and the staff was friendly as always.

Great Place to Play

For me, the selection of tees makes this course playable for nearly any level player. For us older folk, the gold and silver tees offer a great start for each hole. I didn’t feel like I couldn’t get a green in regulation due to distance.

The one thing I thought was off today were the greens. Usually these greens are great but today the were mostly slower that normal and a little bit inconsistent. They were still playable but hard to judge.

Expect a long round

Fun course in good condition, but prepare for slow play. The greens are not perfect - I'm sure due to the brutal heatwave, so deal with it. The biggest complaint...on the front 9, we saw the beverage cart at least 5 times - awesome! On the back (different course employee), not once! Here is the kicker - the "Bev Attendant" was sitting in a fully stocked cart, hanging out near the putting green in the shade because "it was so hot"...exactly, thanks for the help!

Overrated

Not even remotely worth the price. When you’re paying $60 during the week and $79 on the weekend you expect a lot more. The tee boxes are in bad shape. Greens are slow. And the overall condition of the course is neglected. The members should be ashamed at themselves.

Nice course but WAY OVERPRICED

Course is good, very difficult track,But it’s over priced!!

Overall most people don’t have $60 for a weekday round of golf. As with most all the area public courses, the value for the price is out of whack!!

Won’t be back unless they get real with their prices.

Accommodating for beginners

First time playing this course. Played with my 9 year old son who is just starting. They were very accommodating and let us play as a twosome. Pointed out the beginner tee box for him. Had a blast! I think he like the hot dogs the best lol. Will come back to play a full 18 next time.

Decent greens

Got a good deal on TeeOff. Course has good mix of holes and greens were decent but a little slow. Fairways have been punched and led to some tight lies. Would play this course more often if rates were lower.

Beautiful course!

It was my first time playing this course and I was very impressed with the amenities. I enjoy playing on fast greens and this course did not disappoint, although a few of the greens had some rough spots. There are multiple bunkers throughout the course which makes it a challenge when teeing off. The bunkers were well maintained and had high quality sand. I will definitely be returning to play this course in the future.
