Not handicap Friendly

I booked a single, the other 3 slots in this tee time were taken by other people. When I arrived I informed the pro shop that I had my handicapped wife (a stroke survivor that can not be left alone) with me and asked it that would be a problem,. I was told that they only allowed two carts per tee time, we left, I have played this course before and enjoyed it, However I will never play this course again after this experience. I have never been turn away for any other course when I have had my wife with me.

EXECPTIONAL COURSE

The only negative was, as a disabled veteran I hand the handicap flag displayed on my cart. But we were not able to park/drive near the greens. There were no indicators/flags on where the carts could not go. Too many times, we had to back out of areas and consumed too much time going in reverse.

Maturing nicely

It had been 18-24 months since the last time playing the course. We appreciated how the course is maturing. It was in good shape. Pace of play was good as there were very few golfers on the course. Staff was friendly. Felt it was a good value for what we paid.

No definition to the holes.

Worst was POOR etiquette on 3 some ahead of. Bad at golf and refused to let us play through even though hit 2 hit tee shots about 50 yards on a par 3. And couldn’t find their ball. Many holes look similar.

Great Course

This course is in excellent condition. Staff is very friendly. The only issue was the pace of play. There were 3 foursomes backed up on 3 or 4 of the holes on the backside. A proactive ranger would have been helpful.
