With all the great reviews, I was a bit disappointed in the course. Although it was in great condition and everyone was friendly, I thought the layout very bland. Most of the 18 holes were straight and few trees. The hazards scattered throughout made it a bit challenging, but I really expected more variety. Also, there was no drinking water on the course! Overall I enjoyed playing, but would have preferred a more interesting layout.

You’ve got to be one real sick person to schedule a 1:10pm tee time when you have a large tournament that starts play at 1pm.

Really thinking i should push for a refund for the ridiculous pace of play I had to deal with. Didn’t get to finish the round.

Course is totally average and I wouldn’t pay more than $40 to play here again.

Same comments as yesterday’s round, only this round played in intermittent showers. Still enjoyed the round; rough was wet and difficult. Would have been lost without GPS in the cart to know where the “do not enter” areas were, because some protrude into fairway line of sight and are hidden from view. Greens seemed to be just fine.

Course layout good but the Greens were rough fairways ok and the rough was like Pete moss very strange and pace of play was slow no one out there to marshall disappointing to say the least

Class course, but hard to get around in under four hours; many holes have long distances between previous green and next tee. Roughs are tough. The GPS is a big plus; gives yardages to the day’s hole location rather than green center and shows some hidden “do not enter” areas to avoid. There are a number of “do not enter” areas where they’re filtering water through sand.

Course was in great shape. Folks working the restaurant were excellent along with the food. Would recommend both

We are 4 friends on a golf trip.

3 of us are playing competition golf regularly, 1 of us is more of a "enjoy the day" type of player.

Overall, we we're satisfied with our day there.

Tee to green were in good shape.

Greens we're slow and need more attention/care.

Out of the 6 courses we played this week, this one finished last because of the greens conditions.

Staff was great

We arrived far too earlier but this was not a problem. The starter and professional shop staff were more than happy to help. After a good warm up we were invited to tee off earlier if we wanted. After 5 holes a resident joined us, a really friendly guy (called Don) who was happy to give us some helpful lines to aim at.

The only let down was a group that held not only our group but the two groups ahead of us. This should of been a maximum 3 hour round but turned it to a 4 hour round. But not a big issue.

After our round we spent time in the club house, eating and drinking the food was good and the staff again were super friendly.

The course was very good with just a minor issue of the greens running a little too slow for my liking? They run true but I felt I needed to force the putts slightly. These was the only reason I could not give 5 stars? Hope to play it again and thanks for hosting us.

The course is very well maintained and the staff was exceptional. Wish they would have posted about aerification, but will definitely return.

So I went up to pay for my 3:30pm tee time and the girl told me it will be $59 before taking my credit card. My first thought was tax must have been included in the posted price... nice. Turns out that was NOT the case. As I'm on the first tee I look and realize that the total was almost $69. As you can see from my receipt that gratuity was added as well! I go back and tell her to take it off and she said she cannot! Since when are they adding mandatory gratuity to a tee time??? I will say the course is on beautiful shape with rather slow, but smooth greens. But, although only 5 bucks for me, I cannot rate the service as good, or even ethical, after seeing what they are pulling off on their guests. They never informed me of the charge.

Note: Mobile app wouldn't let me upload photo and I cannot edit after posted, so here it is again with receipt.

Just a great spot and nice course if you can get a reasonable rate and time...
