Very good course for the money.

The course tries their best to keep grass cut and greens in good shape even when we had all this rain. Some very challenging holes and 3 -9 hole courses slows pace of play to be very favorable.

Ranger needed

Pace of play was horrid Group ahead of us held us up so bad that there were 4 holes ahead of them with nobody playing them. We asked to play through twice and they said no. We only played 14 holes because the pace was already going into the 5 th hour of play. Other then this it was great

Need of a ranger

The foursome in front of us was very slow at there game play. They never asked us to play through , we ended up leaving at the 6th hole Tee on center course and there was no one in front of them on the following three holes. Staff was great Just need a ranger to make sure players are using golf etiquette
