Poor pace of play and tee boxes

Pace of play was terrible. When i reached the 8th tee….4 groups were waiting to hit….. whether male or female golfers that are that slow… they need to let others play thru…however they would not entertain the idea

Course was rough…tee boxes so hard and beat up i was almost unable to get the tee in the ground. Greens were good but extremely short and fast. No trimming done around trees,etc.

During my time of play, i saw 2 workers carts each with 2 workers. They literally drove around the course and went from shaded area to shaded area and did no work on the course

Needs work

Course needs attention. Tee boxes were almost bare and rock hard. Could barely get my tee into the ground on most. Sand rock hard….. trimming around bushes etc is non happening. Greens soft but too short…. Speed of play was poor…. Got to 8th tee and had 4 groups waiting to tee off????

Disappointing Experience

I’ve golfed this course numerous times, but this was the worst experience I’ve had by far. There was clearly an outing over the weekend, and the tee boxes were tore up, and the greens were in terrible shape. The tee box markers should have been moved and the cup placement on the greens, and it was over 90 degrees without any water coolers on the course (never seen that here). It was a disappointing experience for the normally outstanding venue.

Piper Glen just down the road

Beautiful march day to play. Got there early and was able to tee off early. Unfortunately got behind a very rude single player and then 3 very slow women….. would not let anyone play thru. Course needs spring work up and people need to fix their ball marks and keep carts away from the green….

Unpretentious state capital gem

You gotta love a course that gives you multiple tee boxes to choose from and either way you'll find challenging, fair shot selections. Course was in excellent shape considering it's still winter with carts out. Kudos to the golf course superintendent.

They had no record of my booking on Golf Now. We paid $30. (Rack rate) instead of $22. that I booked on Golf Now. First time this has happened to me. So it cost me $40. to play after paying then $10. booking fee.

Traps not good

Starting to slip again. It’s a shame. Was on a steady improvement over the past 3 years. Greens still in great shape but they have neglected the traps. The water does not drain and they are not raked.

Condition improving every week

I have played this course a couple of times a year for 10 years. It is finally being cared for properly. The traps are almost all done, the fairways have grown in and the greens are fast. all of that said some of the pin placements were a bit ridiculous. The greens keeper must be behind a tree laughing.

A perfect course for a perfect day!

The course was in wonderful shape. All of the tee boxes were neat. The fairways and rough were perfectly cut. The greens were fast. It was a great day!
