Going down hill

Last 2 times I came here I had to wait for a cart. First time was 40 minutes, the second time was an hour and 15 minutes. There was about 10 people after me that also were waiting on carts. The desk guy seemed clueless on how long it would take to get a cart and kept saying "let me see what i can do." Also had no response when people were mentioning refunds. The guy who owns it (I assume, he said "this is my course") was very rude about the entire situation and never once apologized for way over-booking the course. Paid full price and was not even close to finishing the round before dark because we tee'd off so late. Course was in okay shape, minus the sand bunkers that were so full of weeds that it looked like rough patches. The very simple fix to the overbooking could have been an apology and try to make it up somehow, not just be rude and act like the customers were the problem.

Busy, chaotic round

Booked this round a few days prior, for a 1:06pm start time. Arrived at 12:45pm with a a 2some and a 4some ahead of us. Carts were all gone, so there was a bit of a wait. There are 3 - 9 hole courses to play (added to the confusion) a north, central, and south course. The north course was taken with a group outing, the starter only sent everyone to the south course and play through the central course which created a huge back up. My 1:06pm start time became a 1:55pm tee off time. The lay out of the course was not organic and had difficult sight lines and passed over holes on the other course. I don’t plan on playing here again.

Rough Fairways

I like the course , on this day the Fairways were a little rough, making play more difficult because there was little roll.

Perfect Midweek Getaway Course

Upon arrival in the parking lot, you don’t see the beautiful oasis that awaits you. I played all 27 holes. I walked the first 9 on the North Course and the grabbed a cart for the rest. Tom in the pro shop offered great service and was very welcoming. After I played I enjoyed drinks and a cigar on the patio. While there I met friendly fellow golfers who are regulars there and had nothing but great things to say. I’ll for sure be back!!!
