Course could use a ranger

5 1/2 hour round on a Thursday morning. Four groups behind a millennial foursome playing best ball with two shots each. Worst pace of the year, no one around to move it along. Foursomes quitting after 15, and player stating that they will not return.

Understaffed

Course was average. But one foursome had five empty holes in front of them by the 18th. No ranger to move them along. 5 1/2 hours to play 18. Never again.

Great little place to play. Nice elevation changes and just enough yardage to score well.

Need A Ranger

Totally understand that new players should have the opportunity to learn. Need a ranger to let new players know about pace of play. Twosome in front of a foursome had many empty holes in front of them. The foursome ended up having to push the twosome. This should never happen. Please have a ranger keep new players moving.

Fun Afternoon out!

We had a great time playing this course. We opted to play the back 9. It was more hilly and fun. We enjoyed the course. Booking, Check-in, and paying were easy. The employee who handled our reservation was great!
