Very good value for 50.00 on a Friday! Rough is deep and greens are slow but decent roll. Staff is very friendly and appreciate the business!

Tee boxes the worst around. Looked they had it been mowed in ages . Greens very very slow . Definitely not a premiere course in any way . Biggest rip off around for the money . Fun course to play and very tough roughs which makes it challenging .

Lots of fun

Keep ‘‘em in the fairways or the ball is hiding in the 5inch + grass rough. Greens ran well. Pace of play was slower than normal due to a ball fishing golfer in every water hole. Otherwise fun course played tough today

A nice course for a relaxed round of golf.

I paid for 3 rounds of golf but one of our group got sick and did not play. The man in the Pro Shop said I should contact Golf Now about this but I have been unable to reach you.

Would you please have someone from Golf Now contact me about this. Thank you.

Too much poop

I didn’t think the course was in good shape, fair at best. There is also a Canada goose problem with poop all over the place. I guess they were trying to scare some of them away by firing off some loud blasts. Very disturbing when you are in the middle of a shot. Pace of play was slow - waiting on every shot. There was also no starter at the 1st tee. When I checked in at the pro shop I was giver a receipt and a cart key No indication where to go for the carts, 1st tee, nothing. This was our 1st and last time at this course.

Never again

The starter didn't exist to check anyone in. We were put on the tee boxes, that need to be cut by the way, in front of a 4 some moving at turtle pace and some how they ended up in front of us. Another group that was driving around chasing geese with kids in the cart taking about an hour per hole ended up slowing us down even further. They were extremely disruptive and had no course etiquette or respect for anyone around them. The course layout has you being hit into or hitting into someone nearly every hole. The ranger did find a club we left behind and was incredibly nice enough to drive it to us! Didn't catch his name but he was an older gentleman. Overall the course was in desperate need of maintenance and organization.

Eh

The course itself is in decent shape and lots of interesting hole layouts that provide challenges shots. I liked many of the holes I played from a layout standpoint.

The issue was, and why I’m offering a negative review, that the pace of play sucked, holes are right on top of each other (shared tee boxes, tee boxes nearby previous greens, multiple groups in “no man’s land” looking for their balls if sliced right. Had a 9a tee time and didn’t get out until closer to 9.10-9.15, and a wait the entire time. Not sure what the starter was doing.

I quit after a 2.5 hour front nine, because I need to be done faster than 5 hours. Do want to emphasize that this is in no way reflective of a lack of friendliness from staff. The pace of play was simply terrible.
