Not bad for a crowded course

We played on a Friday afternoon and it was pretty crowded. The holes are side by side and course layout is pretty tight . Many t boxes are next to mid fairway landing zones . Some holes had carts everywhere that slowed down the pace. Hole 15/16 had the entire fairway roped off , which was terrible if you played the right side . The left side is all houses , so not much choice . Goose

Poop littered the greens fairways .

Understaffed

Course conditions left something to be desired. Halfway house was closed when we finished at 3:15 PM and bar was not open, just a limited selection of beer available from cooler in pro shop. Sign said beverage cart was on course but never saw. No drinking water on course - all the stations were empty. Bunkers short of sand, tee have many divots, and fairways have bare spots.

Pretty good

For the price, the course was pretty good. Fun layout and had a enjoyable round. The tee boxes were destroyed for the most part and it seems like they forgot to mow the rough, but it was overall, if you’re looking to get out and play, it works. The rangers could be a bit off—followed us and as my friend was grabbing a rake, started complaining that he wasn’t going to rake the bunker. Odd. Food offerings were great.

Not worth the money

$80 on the weekends. That’s really all I need to say. I herd they did renovations over the off season. I certainly can’t tell where they put that money. The tee boxes are still in really rough shape on lost holes. I have no idea where they get off charging this much.

Course was in great shape

The fairways were in great shape and the first ruff sometimes it was hard to find your ball.The sand traps played as they should, making it able to blast out of the trap. The course is very expensive for seniors on the week ends $85,

Good golf poor amenities

Course in good shape greens a little slow. Disappointed that they didn’t have the bar and restaurant opened. We planned to play and stay for dinner..’Beautiful restaurant and bar which were not open and I was told it never is. Shame since looks like it was recently remodeled.
