Your website sucks!!!!!

I was trying to make a tee time for the 16th. The date, number of players and location of courses changed every time I looked at a new course. It got so confusing that I booked the tee time for the 14th instead of the 16th. There was an outing going on when our foursome showed up on the 16th, so there was no chance of getting out to play. If you select a date to play it should NOT change to the present date every time you look at a new course.

Lousy service at the clubhouse

First, limited beer selections, I not talking about the exotic brands, have to wait long time to get served, beverages and drinks are way overpriced. It used to be a good place to have fish and chip and couple of beers. A lot of guys from Chicago Bulls used to hangout there but not anymore. A good round of golf was ruined once you stepped into the bar. I recommend people playing the course, it’s challenging and fun to play then go somewhere else to play 19th.

The course layout is interesting, but cause slow play.

The course is in good shape and the layout can be challenging for faders/slicers.

The pace of play was very slow, but the layout made for an enjoyable round.

Property too small for 18 holes.

Narrow fairways lined with cart paths, water, trees and bind shots all add up to very slow play. We ended up replaying the front 9 since the back 9 would have been another 3 hours.

Too bad, the greens were quite good.

Bunkers need attention

The sand in the bunkers was very inconsistent. From very little sand to like they just dropped a load of sand with no grooming. With as many bunkers they have on the course, I would expect a little more consistency and care.....

Really good course

Enjoyed the round. Pace of play was outstanding for a Saturday morning. Some semi-blind shots caused some issues for playing first time. Course in very good condition. Would recommend.
