Slow play, poorly managed

Don’t expect any bells or whistles here. You get what you pay for. Lack luster layout, fair conditions at best with a horrendous driving range. Prepare for a long day as 5+ hour rounds are the norm.

This should be very good course.

The layout is wide open and enjoyable, with some interesting challenges forced carries over water and ravines. The setting is very pleasant and the course is easy to walk. While the course appears to be adequately watered, there are bare spots on many fairways. Additionally, ground squirrels have created craters throughout the course, which affect play and very bumpy rough areas around the course. I did see a lot of maintenance people around the course, hopefully, that means improvements are forthcoming.
