Bring "A" Game Approaches and Putting

This is a nice experience but highly recommend for better players. The greens have tricky levels and you need to be on right level to avoid 3 putts (or more). Par 70 so overall distance is misleading as there are a few 190-200 yard par 3s with some very long par 4s. These are off set by some very short par 4s that are protected by greenside bunkers and the previously mentioned tricky greens. Because it is difficult, pace of play was pretty slow over 4.5 hours but overall a fun course. Great practice area for chipping and putting along with a small driving range. Clubhouse was nice as well and cart gal was available frequently. I'd recommend this and will play here again.

Unfair greens but good overall

Course is upkept well with nice practice facilities. You really need someone who has played the course a few times with you to help on approach shots. The greens are like mini golf. You hit what looks like a decent approach and see where you are and hope to 3 putt.

Solid Track

Played early on a Saturday morning, so pace of play was tremendous. Very nice conditions. Layout was solid, but no super memorable holes necessarily. Driving range was nice. Starter was a bit of a curmudgeon, "You're in the midst of the permanent tee times, you better keep pace"... but I'd definitely play here again. Most Saturday morning rounds that are worth while will run you around the same price if not more.

Pace of play was horrible. Almost 5 hours for a round of golf on a Monday afternoon. Never saw a ranger the entire day. On #16, there was a group on the 16th green, 3 groups on the tee and almost a 5th group as the group finishing 15 almost the masses. Conditions were decent as usual. The starter needs to explain the first time players of the course if you enter a restricted zone by accident you must use the reverse to exit the restricted area. Our 4th member of our grouodid not know that and locked his cart up and no one had explained that to him.

Good Golf. Wild Greens.

It's different, challenging and fun. Where the odd mogul-like mounds of despair and odd bunker strips don't get the best of you, the greens themselves will test you from the first green to the last.
