DON’T PLAY HERE

This was the worst round of golf I have played in 5+ years (not talking about my score) Not only did it take 3+ hours to play 9 holes, the staff was very rude. We paid for 18 holes and course that wasn’t going to happen with a 6 hour pace of play. Their response “ what do you want us to do about it, we have 250 players on the course”. How about don’t over book?! Course is in awful condition as well. Overall -10 out of 10

Beautiful but beware!

Greens are great,true and soft. Fairways close cut and firm, lots of roll, even when you don't want it. Sand traps are plentiful, full of soft, fluffy sand, difficult. Tee boxes were too firm. If you can get your tee into the ground, it almost always broke, even plastic tees.

Bring your best game or you will have a long day. This course is beautiful, well designed and challenging.

Great track

Wonderful layout and terrific greens. Some dried out tees but only non golfers would care (like the two fellas we played with).

Highly recommend!!

Solid choice

Good layout, not harsh on errant shots. Tom , the starter this morning was awesome. Gave great advice to enjoy the course. Greens were slow.

Great Course

Great course. We had a lot of groups bunched up making us have to rush through. With that said, plays great and fun for everyone in the group.

A Course in horrid shape - residents ruin pace

This course is in terrible shape, especially during a time when most courses are looking their very best of the season. The tee boxes are destroyed, the fairways are covered in growth, every surface is hard as stone. The course is very hilly and there are drainage covers sunk into the bottom of deep craters all over the fairways; the course is so hard, balls that land 15+ yards from a cover will roll back and into them.

That’s just the course...every resident seems to have a cart and they just jump on the course and play a hole. Not single residents, but foursomes that patrol the cart paths looking for some space to squeeze between registered golfers with tee times.

Additionally, we saw someone with the refreshment cart once the entire 18 and that was on the first whole.

I can’t see trying this place again for a few years...it would take two seasons just to repair the neglected turf.

Good greens, tight lies in fairways

greens were good but fairways have not grown in yet, leaving tight lies. Will try to get back here soon.
