Slow Pace

It was a cart path only which added to the Pace. Some Golfer became edgy and voiced it to another four some. Other than watching a show the course fairways were wet and the crown greens were fast which added to the challenge, all in all, we enjoyed the beautiful day.

Not ready for season yet

Course is not ready for the season yet. Rough not mown, very long and scraggly. Fairways not mowed either. Greens in good conditions considering the time of year.

We know it's spring time but the greens need attention to much debris and ant hills.

Unnecessary cart path only. Some wet and soft areas, but most of the course was in very good shape. Price was a bit high for the experience.

Swampy but fun

Course was only open due to early spring weather so course was mostly brown with some green. Greens were coming along nicely but were a touch long and slow. Course was still wet and holding water. Staff were nice and friendly despite being overwhelmed by the amount of bookings. Course is challenging as most greens are uphill or plateau. Some holes play long and hard and are worse in wet conditions but overall a fun challenge of a course.

First Time Playing

Greens are like mini putt

If you are restricted to cart path only, walk away or be prepared to wander looking for your ball. The path meanders from side to side that you would be better off walking the course as a missed fairway, especially on the opposite side of the path, equals a lost ball. Now to the review title, nearly every green is elevated above the fairway, no complaints; however, the greens are so severely crowned and the pin placement was so close to the edge of the green that what should have been less of a foot past the hoke putt rolls off the green and down into the fairway to be more like a 10 yard return putt/chip.

Nice Course

I like the course a lot and have played 24 times just this year. Unfortunately, on this day I was a single behind an outing, the last group of which was a fivesome!! So I had to skip around and play the holes out of order, which I hate.

The young fellow in the pro shop is always very nice.

Nice but

Very nice course that I play often. This particular day, the greens were a little shaggy. Not sure why. Normally very nice.

Have your Greens

Having played the course before this was the best condition I have seen the course especially the GREENS!

Great Job by the new staff. Now if sand can be added to the sand traps, it would greatly improve the course.
