Fast greens, firm bunkers, nice facilities

Nice course. Fairways and greens were pretty good. A few tee boxes could use some love. 11 had debris all over the green, would be nice if someone on the staff blew it off midday, everyone in our group had no chance of a birdie putt due to the tree / sand debris all over. Great pace of play right at 4.25 hours for an 12:30 tee time. Felt like the greens were rolling about 10.5 to 11ish.

Excellent facility. Great food and service. Carts were actually very nice. I usually walk so never noticed prior. Only frustration would be the sand traps. Super firm. Very difficult to play near the fast greens, you almost have to chip out of them.
