Great course.

One of my favorite courses to play. Love the layout and course conditions. Only gripe was the tee boxes were poor. Very shocking for such a beautiful course.

Fun course

Fun course, good mix of playable holes and challenging holes. Really enjoyed the day but entire tee box is full of divots and too many ball marks on every greens. Needs better care from the course and golfers.

Amazing Gem off the highway

5 star course. If you hit it long and like par 5s play this one from the white tees and enjoy the challenge of the 2nd shot here.

Greens in bad shape

I’ve never seen the greens in such bad shape. Ball marks everywhere. Maybe they are getting ready to aerate but it was really bad.

Great track !!

Have travelled north, about an hour, to play here several times. Always with the trip. Course is fabulous - had a few burnt spots in the fairways, but because of the heat, probably couldn’t be avoided - usually fantastic ! Greens were great and the layout is excellent !

No course support

Play it on Saturday July 13th very warm day . Midday tee time took us almost 5 hours to finish there were no Rangers on the course and the beverage girl ran out of everything by 2:00 no attempt to restock so if you had no beverages you had no water coolers on the golf course had been completely used up and it was a difficult back now. Had to endure watching the two groups in front of me drive on to almost every Tee Box and take the carts into some impossibly stupid areas I know the carts are set up to stop this but somehow they went wherever they wanted they played loud music they had their own beer and we're just generally rude and obnoxious and when you have no Ranger it makes for a long day. Common theme out there is bad players playing the blue and black tees when they struggle to play the white tees and that is very frustrating. Don't understand why Rangers can't be on the golf course making this problem disappear it starts with management and if it doesn't bother them certainly not going to be seen in the approach on the golf course so just beware break of course indifferent views from how it's run could lead to very long rounds and very frustrating afternoon.
