Extremely rude staff and Ranger

The staff in the club house was very rude. I said hello and the man goes off about how we will get kicked out of the cart touches the grass.

The round started on a low note right there.

We understand cart path only, but he was very stern for no reason.

The ranger had extremely poor manners. Multiple groups were complaining about him. He would drive while people were in the tee box. He was also checking everyone’s cart multiple times through the round.

Ranger made tons of noise and also was giving negative comments to each group.

Pace of play was very bad.

I would not recommend the $70 for a tee time here.

Wacky layout

The most confusing course layout ever. VERY easy to find out you’re playing the wrong holes. Halfway house always closed. 2 sand traps total on course.

Screwy course

Chanllenging

Very Challenging course, 1st time playing it, also referred to by locals as "Hackery Hills". Very true if you are not in the fairway off the tee, you are in the tree lined rolling hills on all holes. The earth rolls on both sides to unknown OOB hazards, ball recovery nill, no sand, excellent scoring holes though especially par 3's, overall bogey golf is possible, as long as pace of play is moving. For a Tuesday afternoon very disappointing on pace of play, golfers taking Mulligans, searching for balls, zig zagging, wait times ridiculous between holes. Players in patient, who wouldn't be, no Rangers, or refreshments on course at all, no drinking water on the course. I can't imagine playing this course on the weekend with full 4 some-somes of hung over golfers, golfers zig zagging, and getting frustrated for a 6hr round.

Well maintained course

The course was well maintained, and offered a variety of holes and related challenges. The price was also reasonable. The staff was professional, friendly, responsive, and efficient.

Ridiculous, layout

I gave this course a port review for a few reasons. The biggest reason is the layout is extremely funky. The holes are way too close to each other and some of the greens are very close to buildings. It’s not in the best shape and the cart rental procedure seems excessive. Basically I’m not a fan and don’t plan to return.

5+ hour round. 7am tee time

Not first time playing. Slowest golf I’ve ever played. Liked the course the first time but won’t be going back after this past experience.

I played 8/1/23 the pace of play was aweful, 3 groups not going straight, zig zagging, taking re-hits, searching for other balls, no ranger encouraging faster pace on the course at all. If you can't hit it straight, and can't get out of the woods, think twice, I would not recommend playing on the weekend unless you plan on eating dinner there.

Overall Good Time

Starter wasn’t really controlling anything. Just told people to get in line. Had people jumping ahead without even knowing it.

Rolling hills and elevation changes are fun. Can’t complain about the green and tee box conditions for the most part. Pretty nice.

Maybe one legit bunker the whole course and no real water hazards to deal with. Definitely won’t lose too many balls.

Nice place to play

The course is short but in very good shape dispute the lack of rain in the past several weeks. The pace was a little slow as were the greens. However, the course is significantly better than two years ago. If you have not played HH for a couple of years you need to give it a try.
