Arboretum

Course is a great track, but the sand traps have MUCH to be desired! Greens rolled great...

No sand in traps, just dirt... I would have given a 5 star if the traps had sand...too bad...

Very little yardage markers

Good course for the money. Bring a range finder! No 150 sticks and very little markers on fairways.

Hello, wiacullo23. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
