Don't Hate - Great Little Spot

Nice little course that’s in great shape. Fairways are well maintained, and the rough is slightly longer than average — which I like, since it’s supposed to be a bit tougher. The course is on the shorter side, but several holes require precision over length, making for an enjoyable and strategic round.

Overbooked

We tee'd off about 4 minutes late, which is fine.

We waited at every t box, gradually getting longer. We got to the 14th t and the group ahead let us go ahead of them. That didn't help much, we caught the next group after one hole.

We waited on 16 and played. At 17 there were two groups and we were just over 4 and a half hours. We just left. It was a friday. It shouldn't be that backed up. I think since Covid with all the new golfers a round in 4 Hours is impossible.

Good Outing

First time playing this course. From tee to greens, course in good shape. There was some water on a couple fairways from rain the night before but nothing horrible. Greens were good and fast but hard a difficult time riding the brakes. We were paired with another twosome and they could not read the greens either. The first 4-5 holes are challenging because of their shape and the water. Pace of play was great. We played our round in 3 1/2 hours. Enjoy the round and course very much.

Very nice course

The course has a nice mix of holes with water and sand. Challenging but not unfair. They had watered the course so it was a bit boggy on some holes but understandable considering the hot weather we have been having.

Nice Layout

Good course for the money, pro shop staff was not friendly, pace of play was good, challenging holes, No on course beverage service on a hot day was a draw back, greens in good shape but are very slow!

Greens need help

Nice enough course. Tricky if you are not familiar. Greens were weird. A little slow and very hard to read. Mower lines visible which actually moved the ball on putts. Not sure I'd go back soon.

JUST GO PLAY THERE!

Tricky position golf course that is challenging and lots of fun. Tees, fairways and greens are very good but some traps need work. Get a good deal from Golf Now and enjoy this track.
