Overall course wasn't bad greens were all a bit bumpy. Worst thing is the Clubhouse and restaurant/bar were all locked up and closed at 4:30 when our round ended. No staff anywhere.

7.5 Handicap - Good course but no Marshall is a killer!

Course was in okay conditions. Greens were actually in pretty good shape and lightning quick. Pace of play tho… they let 4 guys take 4 carts and each has a spouse in the cart (8 people total). Played as a 5 ball behind them the back nine when 2 members of our group left and they wouldn’t let us pass and we were up their tail the entire time. I don’t understand how they could happen and resulted in nearly a 5.5 hour round after teeing off at 10:30! Absolutely insane…

Great layout and nice fast greens

Course is not perfect but still nice. Layout and greens are great.

Fairways had grass and bunkers around greens were pretty good. This course seems to be improving its condition but slowly.

Great value

Wide fairways well maintained greens and perfectly challenging

Only issue was no cart service and the Marshalls were lax with pace of play. We tee'd off at 8:48 and was done at 2pm

Little slow

Course doesn’t appear kept up. Greens very bumpy but fast. Many fairway lies not much grass under the ball. On hole 10 (par 3) was 5 groups at one point. But actually for a sat slow but not crazy slow. 4:40 But I’d play it again for the price I’m not complaining just hope in the spring / summer they get it in better shape.
