Very Challenging course

The redesigned course is very difficult to navigate due to lack of signs showing some og the holes and that the holes intersect for Pine and Oaks courses. And some holes are too long for the par in them. None of the par-3 holes are shorter of 160 yards. The water location is every were where your ball can land. But it is immaculate. Very well maintained. And the people receiving you was very nice. Not to say the same for the starter. We let a two-some to jump us and he came to tell us that we were too slow.

Great course

The money spent on upgrading the course was well spent. Definitely breathed new life into the place. Was in great shape for the little amounts of rain we have had. 100% will be back. Well worth the money

Classic Golf renovated

A great resort facility being brought back to life.

27 wonderful tree lined holes, renovated, restored and rebuilt.

Tee to green a challenge to play but fair.

Good smooth greens grass filled fairways new sand bunkers.

Interesting

This was my first time playing here since the course re-design. While it could be easy to get lost when a few holes are half a mile apart. The course was in great shape and pace of play was quick.

We did end up eating lunch at the new sports bar on site. The food and service there was nothing to write home about and was not worth what we paid for it.

Good conditions greens rolling around a 8-9

Fun layout, tight tee shots and a lot of laying up/calculating shots for the next shot. Course was green and in good condition but the greens are a little slower than I would have liked

Clown Show

These courses used to be amazing and now they’ve reduced it to 27 holes of crap. What a mess! You could not figure out where you were going, they did not tell you at the front desk that there were only nine holes as part of your course and then you had to switch over, the course was in horrible condition, I can’t believe I paid this much for it, and then the top it all off the car girl forgot the credit card machine and asked if we had cash, rather than going back to the clubhouse to get it. Total clown show! I won’t be playing here anytime soon.

Couldn’t make the tee time.

Unfortunately I had a family emergency and could not make my tee time.

Is there anyway I can come

Next week? Rain check?

Valet very inefficient!!

Great course. Friendly staff.

Valet parking was a mess. Very crowded and confusing. Took about 30 minutes from the time we finished golf and started waiting for the ride to the Valet location until we got the car at the Valet. Very busy at the Valet.

We just wanted to get in the car and leave, but we were just standing around waiting.
