$11 is ridiculous to book on line. Fee should be paid by golf course as part of overhead.

I play this course often and really like it. But when we played recently I was shocked at the pace of play. Foursomes had been sent out on 10 minute intervals which was not great with the crowds that day. At the end of the round I went into the pro shop to complain that it had taken over 5 hours to play, and we had to wait at least 5 minutes on each tee. The staff guy could not have cared less.

The tee boxes are very hard and it is very tough to press the tee in to the right depth. Some of my tees broke during this effort. It does detract from the enjoyment of the game.

The tee boxes were hard as a rock maybe cause it's been so hot this year with very little rain. The pace was a little slow as I could see a group of newbies holding everyone up.

My friend and I decided to take advantage of the Super Twilight fees and enjoyed the front 9 holes on a lovely August evening. Great Conditions on the course, and staff were friendly, polite and helpful.

Marshals should be out more often to increase the pace of play. We had a foursome in front of us that would video their tee shots and take forever on the greens!

We've played this course often and quite like it. But on Friday Aug 12/22 the pace of play was abysmal. We waited on every tee for several minutes and even had to wait on most fairway shots. On one par 5 we could see 3 foursome ahead of us on the same hole. Really felt like they were forcing thru as many people as possible. The round took over 5 hours. I hope this was a one off or we'll have to play elsewhere.

Overall this is a nice course and the recent upgrades that they have done are excellent. My only complaint is that the ground on the teeboxes is so hard that it’s almost impossible to get your tee in the ground. Had to use a rock to hammer it in!

Definitely will play here again!

Thanks!

Never been to a golf course whereby the tee off area’s grass was as hard as concrete ! Marshall was rushing our walking foursome to move faster while the twosome behind us drove a cart . It would be sensible to apply some common sense why we will be taking longer but still within reasonable time range at each hole. Secondly, they really need to do something to fix the grass at the tee off area. It was close to impossible to put our tee in because the grass was as hard as rock! We literally had to spend at least 3 mins at the tee area to push the tee in. Wouldn’t recommend people to go there but driving range is nice.
