A Little Overbooked and Wear a Helmet

Loved the staff and the facility. Thus is a beautifully maintained course. Very tight and overbooked. We felt rushed by the people behind us and held up by the people in front of us. While waiting, it was constantly raining golf balls all around you. I believe the course is too tight and can be dangerous.

Greens

Disappointed in the greens. Some were like playing plinko. Additionally, the amount of unfixed ball divots was wild. It’s a muni but, it’s not worth the $88 to ride 18 during the week. Won’t go back anytime soon

Course Congestion Was Horrible

This is probably one of my worst experiences in my time as a golfer. The course congestion was absolutely awful. Every hole required that I wait at least 10 minutes to begin due to the slow pace of play. It completely ruined the afternoon. Either tee off times are too close together or the person who is responsible for moving play along was not doing their job that day.

Poor Experience, poor local golf etiquette

We were scheduled to have two threesomes back to back

The staff moved on golfer up and made a foursome followed by us 2. We sat 5 minutes on every swing and the locals didn’t let us thru

I bought the annual golf pass and that round was supposed to be covered…it was not

Fun course, great rate

It’s a popular course, nothing fancy but I got my first and only hole in one here so obviously this course stands out! The staff is friendly, there are some challenging holes but nothing too tough. Will definitely golf here again.

To Golf Now

Golf Now: you as a third party entity need to t notify customers that as players that are singles don’t have a choice when you not only purchase your green fees, that you have to pay additional cart fees if you don’t want to ride in a cart that you don’t know that individual they the golf shop are sticking you with, it could be someone smoking pot or getting drunk, and they are the drivers. The management caters to the course not the customer Golf Now should know which course has this policy, where you get charged more Cart fees

poor communication...all around

forced us to play front nine twice because of aeration. this was not on GolfNow; thus surprised at the course. It made play somewhat slow. And when I raised the issue with the Pro Shop, the attendant was pretty rude, along with the other two interactions with him; maybe a bad day for him, but hey, we live in Paradise!
