I Recommend This Course
Fastest greens in the area
Conditions will improve dramatically in several weeks, but right now tees need grass growth but fairways are OK. Greens were so fast that downhill putts would not stop near the hole. Long downhill putts were lucky to stay on the green. Expect to have multiple 3-putts on these greens now, but the greens should be back to normal as soon as the grass grows. The course will be worth 4-5 stars then.

Pace of play
A foursome held up the course from hole #3 to hole #18 and wouldn't let fast groups play through. It made for a 3 hours round turn into a 4 hours round.

Marshall needed
We arrived 30 minutes early than our tee time so we could have some warm up time, but the pro told us they were backed up and we could tee off when the tee box was empty. There were 10 other players in line. So we did not get to warm up and we had to play behind a 5 player team, witch was very slow. Course was backed up all day without a starter or a Marshall to keep play at a decent pace.

Good winter golf
Greens are medium fast and in very good condition. Fairways are soft due to a lot of rain but are in good shape for this time of the year. Worth the trip.

Some good and some not so good.
The greens are usually well maintained but some fairways need improvement on irrigation.
