Good time
Staff was great, course was looking good. Pace of play was a little slow with five ahead of us and moving slow.
Other than that a good day for golf!

Great value. You can play with one ball
Pretty much all the holes are exactly what they look like. This course is pretty simple. It’s really wide and allows for some crazy hacks to still play with the same ball all day. Only complaints, the ball wash on the carts have no plugs or water. Some of the ball wash stations were out of water, and the pace of play was really slow. Round took 4h 45m. Still couldn’t finish the 18th.

Hard pass
To be fair , the staff is great.
The course is not maintained well .
The greens are beat up from lots of players
refusing to fix ball marks .
Got stuck behind a large group of 5 carts all
playing together , between the 10 of them only one could make contact with the ball.
No Marshall to put a stop to this behavior .
Any way …….. don’t waste your time
