Nice course, played many times

I like the course but the pace of play on 7/14 was terrible. I quit after playing 5 holes! Never did that in over 50 years of golfing. I know this is not a problem the golf course can always control. Otherwise, they do a nice job here.

Beware if you play early

When we arrived we were told no motorized carts on the back 9 and had to walk. I’m fine walking when you plan for it.

Maintenance staff was rude. Cutting greens while we were waiting to tee off. Saw we were there and would not move to the side to let us play on. Waited 10min for them to move as we did not want to hit them.

After our approach shot on 18, staff relocated the hold with balls on the green. He said he was in a hurry and had to leave. He could have atleast waited for us to out out before relocating the hold to the other side of the geeen.

Staff needs an understanding of how to work around golfers that are actively playing the course. Won’t go back.
