Long and Fun

Being able to use the big clubs is a pleasure for the price. Fairways are forgiving and greens are quick but react to spin. When available, I book it as can see why it’s popular

Straight

Course had no character. The greens ran at a nice pace. The fairways when cut way to low. The tee boxes where under repair and looked like nobody knew what the were doing. Not to mention it’s nearly impossible to get a tee time .

Lame

Course staff was unfriendly and had a hip on their shoulder..

I’m from NorCal!

You all need to get some greatfulness. It’s lame that you all have a chip on your shoulder!

From, what Iv been told, you SoCal people have fulfilled it.

Lame, and lack of personality.

Course, is pretty simple. I personally didn’t, play well. First experience, also.

I was told other. I wouldn’t waste my time again.
