The course was sooo much better than it’s prepandemic condition.

Quit going to this course a few years ago due to very poor fairways. Now the course is I. Very good condition. The only complaint now is that the yardage is way off. It is nowhere close to the scorecard of 6018. I would think the more accurate yardage for the whites is closer to 5500. Not sure they could do anything to get it to 6000.

Pick up the pace

8 minute interval for tee times is unacceptable. 3 hours for the front nine and gave up. Greens are excellent and challenging but the layout could use some work.

Rick

Course is BEAUTIFUL. Many golf personnel rode the course and spoke with golfers. GM and head grounds guy spoke with us. Was a nice touch. Many new nice things about this course. It’s no longer that dump let go course. This will be the course in a few years. Thanks for two wonderful days of golf.

Not Great

The course is in brutal condition, and the head pro made a convincing case to not come back. Played a 6 hour round behind a 6some, rangers drove by multiple times and didn’t say a thing to the group.

Greens are completely torn up, weeds are growing on some of them. Fairways have rocks in them.

The golf pro working our day couldn’t have been less helpful. Scolded the group in front of us for asking to buy balls. Another man behind the desk mentioned they could buy used balls and the head pro yelled at him saying absolutely not. Very weird vibe.

4/10, horrible bang for your buck.

Big changes comming?

Course in the past few years was really on the upswing for being maintained. This time there was alot of the course in disrepair. Looks like they are making major improvements as some of it looked to be addition of new drainage or irrigation. Time will tell. Carts were newer this year. Staff was as great as ever.

Great Place Friendly Staff

My brother and I played here on Good Friday. It was a little wet but it is early spring so where isn’t it wet, haha. We enjoyed the wide open fairways, as it was our first time golfing this year it was nice not losing a dozen balls. We will definitely come back and bring more friends with next time.
