Poor Course

Unless you need to save money don't bother playing there. The course is in very poor condition and pace of play is slow.

VERY Poor Management

We were surprised to find that we were to play the back nine twice due to the aeration of the front nine. HOWEVER, when we made the turn to play the back again we found in front of us EIGHT (8) groups waiting on hole 10. The course must have known that half the course was to be closed. WHY did they not stagger the tee times to allow a normal time to make the turn. NO WAY we were waiting over an hour to re-start. So we left but complained to staff that this was not acceptable. Staff was missing anyone in management to calm us down or offer a half discount or other consolation. Management did not pick-up their phone. Two weeks prior, management wanted to additionally charge us for carts, but we had to argue that we had prepaid tee time with carts. This course is regularly mismanaged and there is sparce maintenance. Makes you wonder why anyone would want to play there.

Beautiful day

It’s a nice day. Not giving 5 stars because we had to play the back nine twice since front nine was being aerated. I happen to like the back nine so it was ok. Great deal for the price.. Pace was slow because we were all on back nine. But still not bad.
