Course was still recovering from a prior week of heavy rain. Cart path only, and the greens were average for this time of year. over all enjoyed the round with my son and the pace of play was great allowing to time to walk the wet course.

Love the layout but ..

1. Cart path only throughout hilly and uneven course causing very slow play

2. No ball cleaner at tee boxes. Found only a couple but without a towel

3. Overall too expensive unless you find deal time from Golfnow

Golf moose deal was great but...

Paying $50 for a cart (that I did not use) while receiving range balls and a $10 voucher to use in the restaurant was definitely the highlight of our experience. The cart although equipped with a GPS was a pain in the rear end for those I played with. With the rain came the cart path only rule, so I decided to walk it. Only problem was after the first hole there was no signs of yardage or direction on where the next hole or tee box would be. I will also add that the course doesn't drain well at all. I know that I expected quite a bit of mud but it was ridiculous when the irrigation seemed to cause even more problems than the downpour we've had over the past few days.

On a lighter note, the staff was pretty friendly as far as those who actually spoke, and the food was pretty good as well. Honestly I'm not sure if I'd play here again but it could be better with a few improvements. If I do play here it definitely won't be in the winter time, and I would never pay the $99 that they're asking for on the weekend.

Geofencing around carts is absolutely ridiculous and pointless. Will never play here again.

Good time

Course was in decent shape. Tee boxes a little rough on several holes, but for the most part all was good.

No ball washers and golf cart cuts out when in unauthorized areas (and I get it) but its kinda annoying.

Slow Play - Fast Greens

The pace was ridiculously slow. The course is overbooked. Full stop, that's a money grab.

We got through 8 holes and stood on the 9th waiting for 10 mins after 2:40 tee off! No exaggeration. Beautiful views of the valley if you're into taking pictures and not playing golf this is your spot.
