Great Golf Course

This course is in great shape. Fairways are well maintained. Greens are very nice. Not super-fast but they still roll true. They slowed down a good bit on the final six holes due to watering. Extreme drought explains the need to water. This course is a lot of fun to play.

6 hour round

Got to the first tee box on time. There was a group on the green, in the fairway, and on the tee box. Should have just left then. Took an hour to play the first two holes. A “ranger” showed up on the fifth hole and said they would get the problem fixed. That did not happen. The whole round took 6 hours

Amazing Course

Had an amazing time on this course, really fun track with fantastic staff. My only gripe was that there was a group of 9, yes 5 carts on a single hole, 2 groups in front of us that didn’t seem to want to break up which made the round longer than expected. There was a group behind us on every tee box, they were walking with the group behind them finishing each hole just as we were teeing off. Staff did come out to talk to them but by 2 holes later they were back to it. Besides that will definitely be coming back

Hilly, Tough Course

The staff were welcoming and my wife and I a nice lunch. Practice facilty was excellent, and the course conditions were very good considering mid-spring. The greens especially were in great shape. However, we were not prepared for the very tough layout in terms of hills and many blind tee shots. So perhaps a better golfer than me would give this course a higher rating, but I could not recommend it for my friends with mid-level handicaps

Weird and douchey, very slow and unorganized

Course has matured nicely. Too bad about the unorganized operations and extra douchebag regulars.

Beautiful day. Greens bumpy.

Great course but slow moving couple in front of us kept us waiting all day.

Course in good shape except for greens. Aerated recently and not watered enough.

Should be better in a couple of weeks. Lack of rain not helping.
