If you want an average experience, this is your place

It’s OK guys I played with wanted to walk they called had to ask to make sure they could walk and then when they got to the course they were told no when I booked online walking was an option as well. Staff is OK they could be a little more friendly starter was actually great. Course conditions are good. There’s no problem with the Course. It’s definitely overpriced, but I get with proximity to the city they can charge that number. It’s a fun layout. Staff needs to be trained on customer service sometimes it’s not what you say but how you say it those guys even would’ve paid the writing fee they just wanted to walk. It was a 4 1/2 hour round two guys walking with electric car wasn’t gonna hold anybody up. They should’ve been at least like apologetic and said hey sorry for the misunderstanding, but we don’t allow walkers on weekends before such and such time it’s a stupid policy, especially when you already have delays lotta guys like to walk because of the delays rather than just sitting in a cart but they can run their business how they want to. They should just be a little bit better at the customer service attitude car girl was friendly girl at the halfway house was friendly. Lotta idiots seem to play there that don’t understand. He probably shouldn’t have hidden into people or at least check to make sure the blind shot is clear. We got hit into about five times including the first hole when we were clearly visible. I’ve played here a lot of times over the year and it seems to be hit or miss on the experience this time. I’d say it was average and I feel like I’m being fair. I played big run the next day for almost the same price.

Overall, I like this course. I would recommend to others as far as the course goes. This is my 4 th time here and love the elevated tee shots as well as the challenging greens. I am somewhat surprised that most of course does not have sand traps.

My negative is you do not have cart service on the course to get a drink or snack. I have seen nobody ride bye and ask if we want anything to drink. If your not going to have that then having water stations available. We were playing in 95 degree weather. No water or beverages to be found. There is only the snack house and sometimes closed.

For this reason, on hot days, I will attend another course.

Course layout, pace of play

We started the first hole having the starter scream at us from the tee box after only a few moments which was a harbinger of how the round would go. We felt pressed the entire time. There are only 8 minutes between tee times which is clearly not enough for this course. Holes are right on top of each other so you are in danger while waiting to tee off at the next hole. We were nearly hit multiple times while in the course and waiting to tee off. After the fourth hole there is a meet up of four holes (it’s also the turn for the 9) and waited nearly 20 minutes to tee off. We left after six holes because we felt unsafe.

The course was fair but had over 100 trees down due to severe weather earlier in the week. The greens were in very good shape. The clubhouse, halfway house all need to be repaired and updated. The building looks like a dump! The cart paths are in terrible shape.

Do NOT Recommend

Terrible experience. I arrived for my Saturday morning tee time only to find the course had been closed for 3 days and no notification had been sent.

When I went to the pro shop, the staff member acted like I should have known there were trees down on the course and that they had been closed since Wednesday. I asked why golfers with tee times weren't notified, and was told they couldn't send emails because the power was out. After three days of closure, that explanation didn't make much sense.

What was most disappointing was the complete lack of customer service—no apology, no empathy, just a rude attitude. I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

Cart Paths are like Speed Bumps Every Hole

The cart paths are atrocious. You will be bouncing all over the place. Greens had plenty of ball divots in them. 2.5-3 stars. Anything over $50 stay away

I’ve played many courses and I don’t agree it’s worth the green fees they charge. It seems like they are still under construction and working on the whole property in some way or another. I don’t think I will be returning. Every cart path needs to be repaired.

Great Course

The only criticism is we were behind slow players and no staff members were out to move them along. We skipped a hole to pass them

Working on a few holes during our round but did not impact us. With all the rain the fairways were in very good shape. We completed the course in a good pace. The one negative the yardage on the scorecard is. Not close to reality.
