No management

Booked tee time on line, arrived 25 minutes early. Waited on pro shop for manager from bar to check in, was told to tee off when ready as a twosome. Send other twosomes tee off then foursome at our tee time. It was obvious they were just collecting green fees and didn’t care about pairing .up twosomes which lead to slow play. Compound this by having no masked required I. Clubhouse no ranger on course and player dragging their spikes around the greens which where in good shape despite the abuse. Take your chances using the ball washers and pulling the pin and finding a known clean golf cart. They also seem to have a problem with their sprinkler system as I seen broken lines with mud puddles next to scorched fairways. Real golfer fix their ball marks and are ready to play their shot or putt. It is what it is, slow play on a short course.

Improved greens

This course has improved in the past year. The fairways are in better shape, and the greens are much better than they used to be, they're greener and rolling better. Also, noticed sand in the traps, when they used to be just dirt.

Course has something for everyone.

I was pleasantly surprised how well course is kept. I played courses 3 times the price and they don’t even come close. Job well done to all staff. My only complaint is that groups ahead of me are stilling all the birdies, but that’s my problem. I seem to find them at 19th hole. Ha,ha..

No covid practices?

Apparently covid doesnt apply out in the country. All staff were indoors the bar was reopened with food and everything which is nice. No masks or gloves anywhere. Every group was touching and pulling flagsticks, racks on bunkers so unless i heard something else they are full open i guess. 5 hr round no rangers to push the slow 2 somes everywhere on course. The course itself 8snt bad the greens are solid and slow but the fairways and rough are dried out. Not bad but if i get sick i know where i got it from.

Nice course

Nicely kept course and some challenging holes and greens. Only dislike was that it was very crowded and backed up. Had to wait to tee off at every hole.
