Slow play, unfriendly staff

$30 on GolfNow and another $34 to ride in a cart when you arrive? Staff is unfriendly and they overbook so waited on 15 of the 18 holes. Couple holes waited 30 min

Course is a joke

Don’t play here!!! Course is terrible. Had a 8:24 tee time and when I got there was 30 people on the 1st tee. No starter so just chaos. They said they were about 30 mins behind already. If you like 5 1/2 hr rounds on an average course this is for you!

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
