Over 5 hours, 4th off the tee

The Marshall was buddy buddy with 1st off, that tee’d off at 545, After calling in 2x in front 9 to speed them up he only came out one time and waved and didn’t say anything. We teed off just after 600 and got to #10 at 9:07. After finishing #10 we waited behind 2 groups on 11. When we finished 11, the lead group was still on tee box on 12. We jumped in front of 3 groups on 12 tee box and jumped straight to 13. Our 3 some finished at 1053. We waited and watched the lead group finish at 11:11.

If you cant finish a round under 4 hours you shouldn’t be setting up a tee time first off in the morning, Tell me I’m wrong!!! We won’t be back anytime soon!!!

The course was challenging lots of hazards throughout the course ravines, water on some holes left and right with bunkers placed in areas that make it hard to play it safe . The front and back bunkers closer to the club house have that pebble beach sand very fluffy the bunkers all in between are hard dry sand/dirt the greens were very well taken care fairways and tee boxes were in good shape . Overall had a Greta time and would go back to this course especially in the winter months where she isn't as necessary.

Very pleased and surprised by this course it was challenging the entire round up hills , in between water , ravines before holes , some of the greens had steep drop offs . The condition of the course was solid the greens well maintained and the bunkers closest to the club house front and back 9 have that fluffy white sand you see at Pebble however there are bunkers all in-between that are like pavement stay out of those and you'll be fine. Overall had a great time on this course would recommend playing a round here to anyone.

Nice Facility

This us a very good course with excellent greens, tees and bunkers. The faurways are playable but hit and miss regarding tyrf conditions. The range is great and there is a small restaurant/snack bar. Carts are good with no GPS. A good value gor the money! Dave in the pro shop was great as well as other staff members.

Excellent SOLO round ⛳🏌‍♂️

I was surprised to see white fluffy sand at the 1st greenside bunkers. Then saw the same white fluffy sand at the 2nd greenside bunkers. Throughout my round, i noticed the majority of the greenside bunkers have the white fluffy sand making the experience enjoyable. Unfortunately the fairway bunkers have the brown hard dirt, but i hope it's work in progress.

I was able to hit 2 balls at every hole and played best ball since the guy ahead of me was long gone and nobody was behind me. I had thoughts of practicing greenside bunkers shots since there wasn't anybody following me. I also thought about hitting 4 balls just like a regular 4some, but that'll wear me out especially with the warm weather. There was no marshall and no cart girl.

Can't wait to play there again

Great value and fun round

First time playing today and our group really enjoyed the course. Bunkers were in good shape and well placed. It was a nice blend of some forgiving and challenging holes. The Grill had a good club sandwich with great views on the back patio. We will definitely be back.
