Very slow play

I played solo and had taken a cart which was the wrong choice for the pace of play. I waited from the 3rd hole on. When I got to the 5th hole, there were 3-other groups on the same hole. I think I waited the same amount of time that I played. Very sad. Never going back.

Walking versus riding

On Monday, 11/04, I was charged for riding although I elected to walk. I would like a refund of the amount prepaid for the cart.

Short Round

We played 9 holes. Some of the fairways were wet and the sand traps had water in them. Greens and tee boxes were in good shape. Pace was good. We played 9 holes in one hour and forty five minutes. We enjoyed the round.

Golf pass fees

I thought we would not pay extra for using Golf Pass. We paid $8 extra. Not a big deal, but it means we should check the cost if we go direct.

Pace of play

Overall pace is good on this coarse. Unfortunately there was a very slow group 2 ahead of us that backed us up pretty bad. Took almost 3 hours for 9 holes. Wished they monitored this and someone came out to say something to them

Great Course & Amazing Staff

I’m very new to golf, this is the 4th round I’ve ever played. After looking up the course I figured my friends and I would try it out. I was absolutely blown away by the facilities, the course and staff. Everything was pristine!

Like I said earlier, I’m new to golf. I’m going to assume that my pace of play is considered to be slow. We did get approached and got told that we would have to pick up our pace as we were 1.5 holes behind. The guy was extremely nice about it and didn’t hover around too long.

I would definitely recommend going here, even if you have to make a bit of a drive to get there!
