Not for me.

The place of Play was horrible. The marshall was not very helpful in helping pace of play. I understand that you take your time when hitting the golf ball however when people are beginners the Marshall needs to let them know they need to let people behind them play through if they're busy looking for their golf ball.

The course was green from recent rains. Greens were soft. No bounce & roll on approach shots. Bunkers in decent shape. Good value. Not crowded mid day.

New Superintendent

This course is looking great! I heard they got a new superintendent and it shows.

1. The greens roll nice.

2. The t boxes are flat and even.

3. Fairways looking greener.

4. Grass is cut, trimmed...

My only recommendation would be the bunkers. They need more sand.

Tough Pace of Play

I have played this course several times and enjoyed it each time. Something weird was going on this time as the pace of play was excruciating. We started at noon and decided after 12 holes to call it a day. We were already 3.5 hours into the round and had to wait at every tee box. Course was in great shape, staff was friendly, and food was good. Marshalls were out and about but not sure why there was a backup at every hole.

Still trying in spite of the drought

There are areas that have dried up but they are clearly trying to stay on top of course conditions. greens were in good shape. Fairways were well maintained. Bunkers had enough sand and many workers were busy throughout the property. I can't say the same for some other nearby courses.

I live on this course so i am biased. And I still hated every second of it. Course is absolutely in horrible shape and only the front nine was open. Guy at the front desk casually told me that I had to play the front nine only and the greens were punched and sanded. Yet still paid full price. Worst course I have played at in YEARS.
