Very overpriced course

The course is not in great shape and layout is so-so. It is definitely not worth $62.... maybe $42...

Sweet

Played the front tees with two others in the group. This was a good choice and it allowed us to keep pace with the group ahead of us. Two of the guys were only playing 9 holes. Course played well and was in very good shape. Greens were playing well for all holes so the putts read well and came through with soe good scores. Fun time had by all.

Too windy to play -- winds at 40 miles per hour

Redtail is always fun to play. Course is well maintained.

Due to lack of rain, conditions were not the best. Foursome in front of us were terrible -- our round took 5 hrs to play.

Slow weekend golf

Weekend golf here is ridiculously slow. We had to stop after 9 holes because we were at the 2.5 hour mark. At one point 5 groups were on a par 5 and not once did we see a marshal try and speed anyone up.

Fun Course

I don't get to play very often. First time playing here and first time playing in about 2 years but the course is nice and fun to play. Had a few challenges with water and bunkers but for someone who plays more often than I do you may find it easier than I did. Overall a good experience playing here. Would definitely go back.

Great Course

mid-handicapper here (12-14 hdcp), and I really like this course. A lot of contour and elevation changes, and trees in all the right places.

Greens were rolling smoothly and fast. Very surprised so early in the season.

Staff are always very helpful and polite. I only learned of this course at the end of summer last year, but I've played here more than ten times since then.

Staff was like family making you feel welcome. Beautiful new deck on back with dynamight staff. Course was in very nice shape. One of my favorite places to play. Not to diffucult so you can score good and ball puts nice and true on greens.
