Good public course but sometime slow pace.

Every hole has something interesting, and I also like it reasonably priced and right in the neighborhood. On a good day, things could move along well, however, every once in a while whenever there is a slow group, everyone would suffer the long waits.

Pace of play

Overall, the course was nice and had its fair share of challenges. However, the pace of play made it impossible to have a good round. Waited at least 10 minutes on each tee box and then even longer on approach shots. Not the best course if you are looking to squeeze in a quick round.

Solid track

Nice little track. Not terribly long, but still challenging. In great shape and has great pace of play. Teed off at 9am on a Sunday and didn’t run into a single other group. Drink cart girl was out by us a few times. No real negatives about the round at all. Will definitely play here again.

Challanging course layout

Had a 1209 tee time.When I got there they were running 20 minutes behind because of an outing and was disorganized. Tee time in front of me left which moved me up. got out close to my time and had a 4 hour and 25 minute round
