Once relatively easy - Now Diabolical

Having played here many times in years past our group was amazed to find the course so difficult to play now. The fairways and greens are well maintained. However, the greens are so fast that we were unable to hit anything easy enough to prevent running way past the hole. The overgrown natural areas have effectively narrowed the course substantially and created blind landing areas from several tees. The rough is thick and much deeper than I remembered. I had great difficulty hitting from it as did the others in the foursome. None of us scored near our usual expectations.

Will never return!

Management at this course care more about putting money in their pockets than taking care of the course. For many years now, they refuse to keep the rough playable. Even the first cut was so high, you can barely find your ball let alone try to hit it. Have said before I would not play there again, definitely no more now. Bring a lot of balls with you, you'll need them. I will never recommend this course to anyone

Great time

Very nice course, greens in excellent shape. Fairways were.a bit long but it was a Monday morning round. Ranger came out at the turn and put us on the 3rd 9 to make sure pace of play stayed on time. Overall I would recommend this course.

Over priced play

This is is very friendly for people who are just starting to play the game, tee box to fairways are pretty open and the greens are very inconsistent when it comes to the speed the ball rolls at. Over all 3.5 stars for the overall course and very friendly for beginners but pretty pricy for where you play.

Good Course in Good Condition

Overall, course was in good condition with smooth, fast greens. My only complaint was the depth of the first - and only - cut of the rough. It was ridiculously deep grass with no transition. Only other gripe was lack of water on the course on a fairly hot day. Have played this course many times and it's generally in good shape and a decent value.
