got tricked

As soon as i wanted to pay for the tee time at 3:30pm for $17,99 the GN App "could not process the request" or "tee time was not avail anymore". same thing happened on next try for $18,99 at 3:20pm. The only tee time still avail was 2:30 for $ 33 - that worked. when i checked again later the app had the tee time at 3:30 in again for $17,99. is this systematic?!

As a single player i got paired with 4 other players. (how many tee times do they sell & what is a starter good for if he doesn't pair groups at no specific time?)

Play here.

Nice course with decent conditions. Very affordable and well conditioned greens. Fairways and tee boxes could use some attention in some areas. However as vacation players we had a very nice experience and would definitely play here again.

Staff is terrible

Walking up to bag EVERYWHERE not in carts or on racks just laid on the ground outside all over the place. We got our afternoon ticket went to the starter, still no cart, only to see the starter and a golfer in a disagreement over something and yelling back and forth until the golfer walked off. After finding a cart that wasn’t being used and no one seemed to claim we took off only to play 14 holes in 4 hours because the staff pulls the flags an hour before sundown and they have no ranger enforcing pace of play… when I asked why they pulled the flags they said they pull the front 9 first and they didn’t seem to understand 14 is the back nine…

Course is fun but staff makes this place basically unplayable in season!

Nice course

Played it twice in a week, liked it more than another I'd played in area. Water around, maybe some funky doglegs, but a good course for third and fourth times out this year,

Green's good. the rest, eh

Played an afternoon round and found the course about the way I expected. The greens were good except for all those people who refuse to fix their ball marks and the rest of the course was just okay. You could find a place with grass to hit your ball to the green, but the fairways were not in the best shape. Always have a good time playing here because of the challenge offered by the course layout.

Nice course

Played in < 4 hours. Staff was friendly. Course layout is interesting and challenging but fair. Some tee boxes in rough shape, but OK for most part. Grass a bit thin inn many places, assume mostly due to winter conditions.

Great experience

It was our first time here. The starter was nice but a little nervous. He sent our Foresome out a bit ahead of time . The course was in good shape and the greens are large and fast :-))). We really enjoyed our day and will come back again. The golf course is part of a hotel complex that seems recently built or renovated. Next time we might try the terrace after our game.
