Basic

For the cost it was okay , but would never play there again. Tee boxes are bad , the back 9 looks like a back yard .

Pace of play was very slow .

Play was very slow as it took five hours to play. The group in front of us, basically was backing up the course. Ranger finally showed up around the 14th hole. Pace got a little better, but lost interest in the round by then.

Course was is pretty good condition, however greens were extremely slow. Pace of play was extremely slow as it took 5+ hours to play. Group in front of us had no sense of urgency. Ranger finally showed up around the 14th hole, but didn't help much.

Has improved

Conditions much better since last played a few years ago. But had no reason for with 2 holes to go for ranger to push when we never had anyone waiting on us the whole round. Then we approached the 18 green we saw about 3 or 4 groups waiting for carts. This was a problem before so maybe getting more carts is needed.
