Nice course but…

I’ve played this course a handful of times this year. It’s a nice course but there are couple of issues I’ve noticed this year. The pace play is about 30-45 minutes slower on the weekends compared to last year. My second complaint is regarding the greens. It’s not that they’re too hard. I actually enjoy the challenge they bring. My issue is when they change the location of the pin, they never level out the new hole. It always seems to be on a crown. If you leave a putt short, it rolls backward a few inches. I’m not sure if they’re in a rush this year but I don’t recall this being an issue in past years.

Overall I think this is a really nice course and a great value. I would recommend it.

Solid Burbs Course

Not overly difficult but fairly unique course layout, big, rolling greens, and difficult bunker placements make this a fun course to try out. The greens were a bit beat up but otherwise the course was in good condition.

Golfer

Fun course to play . Short course but lots of challenging obstacles which make it difficult and greens very challenging. Unfortunately the greens were very beat up and ball marks pretty bad on a lot of holes but I know due too heavy play and I’m sure people not replacing there ball marks like they should . But tee boxes and fairways in excellent shape .

First Time

Nice course. The starter was pleasant but overall not much contact with the staff. Course was really good. Wasn’t busy. (Monday) a bit pricy for off peak time. I would play it again.

Good Course with Weird Greens

Decent course, maybe a little overpriced. Greens were a little tricked out. Lost of tiered greens with hilly breaks. Fairways were nice, off the fiarway you never had a flat lie. Alsways on a hill, either side hill, uphill or downhill. Lots of mounds all around the fairways
