OVERCROWDED

Unless you have all day stay away. Too slow, too many people, too many walkers, no range marshall to monitor pace, 6 1/2 hours, 10-20 minutes wait in between holes, 10-20 wait in between shots, when we made the turn at 9 we had 5 groups ahead of us another 45 minute wait. Mind you this is on a Tuesday midday.

Too too crowded

6 hours to play because of slow players, too many walkers, too crowded, and a Marshall would be nice in order to speed things up. Mind you this was on a Tuesday midday. Stay away unless you have all day.

Course is in fantastic condition for May! Greens are immaculate, best I've ever seen them. Tees and fairways good to great. I need to play here more often. Pace was 5.5 hours on a Saturday afternoon, not what you want but somewhat expected due to nice weather, course difficulty and following an Amateur event.

Great course to play if going to Augusta

Played this gem when going to the Masters. Beautiful course with excellent elevations- greens rolled true which is great cause they are fast. Beverage cart girls were nice and beers were very reasonably priced. The kitchen made some good fried fish also. Will definitely play again when I return.

Great conditions, slow play

Course was in near immaculate condition for this time of year. Only glitch was pace of play. Took 5:05 to play. For some reason, a fivesome several holes ahead of my 12:40 tee time was allowed to play. And on the 18th, a driveable par 4, the foursome in front took 5-10 minutes to fiddle with their golf bags and review scorecards. This caused me to bogey the last hole with a good round going. This group likely had the 12:20 tee time on 3/20. My playing partner is a member and noted the golfers in front were regulars. Hopefully somebody says something to those slowpokes.
