Mother’s Day Hot Pick

Got a great deal on GolfNow. The course was pretty empty on Mother’s Day and the weather was good so we had fun. The course was in good condition and the greens were very fast making golf harder than my normal course. The group had fun.

course is nearby , price is good, friendly staff. Very good layout course

Course is not long but layout is so good making this course as same as 6300 yards. Green is challenging. . Sand in the bunger is too hard in some holes but it is early season after plenty of rain. too.. I definitely will come back again.

We also appreciate the feedback on the bunkers. Early-season conditions and recent weather can affect them, but we are continuing to work through those areas as conditions improve.

Best in the area.

Best public course in the surrounding area. The practice area alone is worth a stop. Even if you don't have a tee time.

Construction season

There’s a lot of construction going on. However, staff has been really accommodating in every way in order to try to get us to still enjoy the round. Construction is obviously making things better for the course so I’m all for it. It’s just noisy as heck.

The main problem here is that the Marshalls don’t drive around asking whether or not people are keeping good pace. There are some people who really take their time on greens, and you almost can’t do anything about it. I wish tee times were 15 min apart and not 10.

Otherwise, love this course.

Thank you for your patience during the construction. We know the added noise isn’t ideal, but we appreciate your understanding while we work on improvements. We’re glad our staff helped make your round enjoyable despite the disruption.

We also appreciate the feedback on pace of play. That’s something we continue to monitor and work on, and your comments are helpful as we evaluate our approach.

Thanks for the kind words about the course and for continuing to play with us.

Bad situation made worse

This is a tough review since I really like the course and the staff. As previously mentioned by others there was a frost delay that wasn’t communicated well if at all. By trying to accommodate everyone they managed to infuriate almost everyone. 6 hour round and no rangers to move the slow pokes along. My guess is they didn’t want to confront people they already made upset. I guess my biggest complaint is they said nothing at check in and let you get the carts set up, range balls, drinks, whatever else, and then you found out from the starter. Nope, not the way to do it. Let me know at check in snicker me decide then not after the fact. Really the only bad experience I have had here, hopefully they learn from this major drop of the ball.

Thank you for taking the time to share this and for the kind words about our course and staff. We’re very sorry for the frustration you experienced that day. Frost delays can be tough to manage, and we’re currently working with our tee sheet team to make sure every group receives the text messages and emails we send so updates are clear and reach everyone.

We completely understand how disappointing a six-hour round can be. Pace of play and on-course communication are very important to us, and your feedback is helping us take a close look at how we handle days like this moving forward.

We truly appreciate your support and hope your next round is a much smoother experience.
