Never saw a marshal
Would recommend course, but not for weekend play. It is way to slow on the weekend. Staff is cool, there are decent food and drink options here.

Nice course, ALWAYS slow play!
Appreciate that everyone is a beginner at one point but much needs to be said about picking up and moving along. 7 strokes or more to get to the green? Nuts

While we are young
This course is worth playing, however if pace of play is important to you, I’d avoid this course on Fri, Sat and Sun. 4 1/2 hours would be quick for them. Yesterday we finished in almost 5 1/2 hours. Totally ridiculous. They allow 5 somes, I saw a 6 some behind us. The greens are typically in good shape and reasonably fast. Fairways are meh. It’s a par 70 and they have several lengthy par 3s in excess of 200 yards from the whites.
