Great course, slowest pace of play ever

Every tee box was backed up significantly. The round took over 5 hours to finish, which made the experience much worse. The course was great, but they booked too many tee times. By the time we ended, there were about 8 or 9 carts backed up on hole 10 which was ridiculous. Not sure if its a one time thing or this is the norm there, I still had a good time there though.

Great value, good pace of play and some challenging greens. More par 5's than normal, but that was a pleasant surprise.

Would’ve been 5 stars if it weren’t for pace of play!

Everything about the course was great. It was in great shape. I loved driving through the neighborhood, but the one issue was it was backed all the way up.
