Slowest round of my life, if you have 6 hours on a Saturday you want to waste away, play here. Starters are bags of bones who looked at his clipboard more than the pace of play. Nice course tho.

First Time Playing

Great but needs a few small touches

Definitely could use more ball washers a long the course. Maybe seen 4 all day. It’s too nice of a neighborhood course not to have them. Besides that course was very well kept and greens were fast. Would def play there again.

Good course, rough starter

Our first time playing this course. The conditions were fine considering the chilly weather and recent rains (it was cart path only). The greens rolled smooth and fast which was a pleasant surprise for this time of year. The greens were challenging with their undulations and tiers.

Only 2 issues during our round. One hole the cart shut us down and let us know we were in a restricted area - we were on the cart path next to the tee box. We had to push the carts along the path until the GPS unlocked the carts.

The other issue was the overt racism from the starter. We were paired with 2 Indian gentlemen and they had a minor issue they brought to the starter's attention. He could not grasp what they were asking. Another golfer tried to help but the starter did not get what was going on. After a few minutes, the starter simply said, "do want you want, I don't understand you people anyways." Everybody likes golf. There is no need for this man to be the face of this course.

Other than this guy, the course is really nice and we would go back.
