Course in good condition. Pace was better than expected.

Course was in good condition. Pace of play was good, as a foursome we finished in 4 hours. Staff was friendly. Chicken Caesar wrap from the snack bar/restaurant was great.

Enjoyed a Great Round

I was impressed by some real long 4 Pars. You need real accurate fairway wood shot specially for a Senior Golfer like me. It was therefore a nice challenging Game. Some of the Fairways have difficult undulations making the challege enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this well managed course for a good round of challeging Golf Game.

18 holes at the Vineyards

Got deal from GolfNow app.

Temp was in mid 90's with a slight breeze that felt good.

Had foursome in front of us that split into 2 twosomes on the back nine. They moved along ok.

Course was in good shape. Greens were good.

Bunkers needed attention... all hard packed.

Used 19th hole for Hotdogs & Beers. 🌭🍻

Service and quality very good.

Overall, a good day to play in the sun🌞🏌‍♂️⛳️

Course was in poor condition

The bunkers were solid hard sand. Lots of areas under repair. Greens were 7/10.

Fun Coarse

Had never been to the coarse. It has some narrow areas and a couple water hazards. It was super fun to play and challenging at times. It was very well maintained. If you get a chance, enjoy a round at this course.

Overpriced, Understaffed w/ slow play

Course is not a value at the 75 dollar weekend rate. 40-55 is more appropriate. Not in the best shape either

No ranger, starter, or beverage cart. Staff let a 5 some off in front of us. 5.5 hour round of golf. Waiting on every tee and green. 3 hole gap between that group and the next by the end of the round.

The practice facilities do look really cool though.

Slow pace

Had a 5 some group ahead of our group who slowed down the game significantly . Looks like this course allows more than 4 people to play as a group

Great day of golf

The course was in great shape with the exception of the bunkers. They were unplayable. One of our group even injured his elbow trying to hit out of one. I just decided to remove my ball and play from the grass. The greens were awesome.

I saw this course a little over a year ago and it was in real bad shape. Great job bring the course back. Keep up the good work.

18 holes at The Vineyards

Started on time.

Teed off as group in front of us were approaching green

Never had to wait on tee box until 15th hole.

Pace of play was excellent.

Course conditions very good.

Sand traps needed maintaining, as "sand" was hard packed

Got turkey sandwich and it was very good.

Overall... a very good day.

Average course

Pros: staff friendly, nice driving range, club house/ bar nicely equipped. Fairways and course set up is good

Cons: bunkers very hard and not maintained properly, greens bumpy and slow, pace of play was 5 1/2 hours on a Saturday.

Overall: pricey for what you get in quality of course and pace of play.

Will be back but hope the course is better maintained.
