Not Bad. Not Great

Course was in better condition than when I had previously played it. Greens were in pretty good shape - a bit bumpy, but not as bad as in the past. Fairways in decent shape. A good average course.

Great course.

This course is epic, from the beginning the staff greeted us and made us feel welcomed. The Course itself was really well maintained with really nice greens groomed fairways and some challenging yet extremely fun holes. Will definitely play this course again.

DO NOT GO, WASTE OF TIME & MONET

Do not waste yourself here.

couldn't finish even after 5 hours and 40 minutes due to sluggish pace of play

No marshal (actually once) trying to speed up.

Decent layout

THe course has a few difficult holes on the back 9, but overall a very playable course. Large greens with undulation and some scary downhill putts. When conditions are ‘windy’ you need a low shot because OB or thick rough will punish.

Excellent first course

First time on a regular size course and it was fun and very forgiving. Afternoon play wasn’t great due to fairway alignment with the sun but I’d play this course repeatedly any time

Very well maintained course, but pace of play an issue

First time playing this course. Beautiful course, challenging and well maintained. Unfortunately, we had a few things go wrong that made our experience less than ideal. First, our tee time got bumped a few days prior (received an email from golfnow) by 30 mins. Not a huge deal, but ok. Then, when we showed up, we found out there was a tournament, so they had us starting at the 10th hole. Because of the tournament, we ended up getting more delayed. Then, we tee off and it's sloooow. Then we noticed the group in front of us was a 5some. Why would they allow a 5some in the middle of a Saturday, especially when there's a tournament going on?? We finally complained at the 12th hole (had to call, no marshals in sight) and they sped up for a couple of holes, but then slooow play again (not sure why they didn't just split them to a 3some and 2some). Our round took about 5.5 hours. Will return only if pace of play gets addressed.
