Staff is great

The only complaint I have. It took 5.50 hrs to play. 3 hours for the front 9. Only saw the cart girl once and that was on the 8th hole. Would hope this problem gets figured out. Everyone I talked to on the staff were very friendly

7 hour round

Our tee time started almost an hour past what was supposed to be our normal time, and from then on average half an hour per hole. Just miserable

First Time Playing

You will be waiting for 10 minutes per hole due to the pace being so horrible. Should be illegal for them to have this many tee times without a marshall. Would not recommend playing here for that reason alone. Course is good, conditions were good, price was good, but I will not be returning. Multiple people leaving the course early due to attrocious pace of play.

Never again

This course has let me down multiple times and today was the last straw. They were apparently hosting a tournament and failed to let anyone know. I had a 1315 tee time, and when I went to the tee box at 13:10 they had 3 foursomes still waiting to tee off, starter assured me they were getting things moving and that there was a tournament playing in front of us. Teed off at 13:47. Ended up skipping the 9th hole and calling it at 1700 as we were on pace for a 8hr round. Utterly ridiculous will never come back and caution others to stay away, plenty of other similar courses for same price that are much better managed.
