Great place to play. Maintained well. Fast, but still challenging.

My brother and I are still newer to golf, but he was on it with his driver today too.

Slow pace

Slow players ahead of my group and also are the groups ahead of them. They didn’t have courtesy to let people play through them. The ranger came out but didn’t know what to do. Wouldn’t be back.

Great course

Love playing here. Second time. Had a 6:10 tee time, played great. A little wet obviously but it didn’t ruin the course. Highly recommend this course!
