Most improved in the last 3 years

I have always loved the layout of this course conditions have not always been its strong point but they've come a long way. Great place for the price.

Solid Course

Played a solo Twilight round.

Jumped around a little but played all 18.

Small pace of play issues but that’s typical when you’re a solo following full foursomes. Saw plenty of green divots that I would fix but nothing crazy.

Would and will play again

1st time

Overall, really enjoyed the course and pace of play.

Only issue was the lack of golf carts available when we arrived to check in. We teed off a little late because of this. The attendant for the carts came across as very terse. He was trying to help, but after showing us our cart, asked multiple times to see our receipt and what our names were and even questioned the other twosome riding with us. He seemed disorganized and overwhelmed, so maybe just a little more friendly and understanding interaction with customers would be good.

Need a beverage

Understaffed and couldn’t find a beverage. The drink area on course was closed because of manpower.

Do not go

Staff overbooks course, is rude, and the pace of play is unbearable. Guy in the pro shop said 6.5 hours is to be expected for a public course…. It’s only ~ 6k yards so should certainly be less than that. All around terrible.
