Nice course

Course is beautiful. The surrounding area and nature trees make this course aesthetically pleasing to play. The tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. I know from past play that the greens are nice as well. Unfortunately they were just recovering from aeration so it’s hard to say they were in good shape. Wondering if they could have waited 3-4 more weeks when traffic on the course was less. The pace of play was brutal on a Friday afternoon. We started at 3:30 and only got 14 holes in. We figured at 2 hours per 9 we should have at least got close to 18 before it got dark. We finished the front 9 in 2:15 but when we hit number 10 there were 3 groups in front of us waiting to tee off. Not sure how that happened but needless to say pace was an issue on the back 9.

Overall based on the times I have been there I would definitely play the course again. Well maintained, the staff is great and the outdoor patio at the 19th hole is a great way to wrap up the round.

Horrible Conditions - Horrible Front 9 Layout

This course is terrible value for a twilight round in a metro area surrounded by incredible golf. The front 9 layout is just horrendous (but the back 9 is better).

There is no excuse for how horrible the greens were. The putting surfaces were like a game of Plinko. Nothing rolled smoothly. There are large brown patches and the fringes are a disaster. The 18th green was particular awful to the point of almost being unplayable.

$80+ on Tuesday and it takes 2.5 hours to finish 9 holes.

Used to play this course once a month. We would consider this place a “treat.” Pace of play was terrible. Nearly three hours to complete nine holes should be illegal. The greens were in rough condition and felt like concrete.

Overpriced for what you get

At over $90 this is a pass in the future. Tee boxes and greens were in awful shape. I expected so much more from such an expensive course in an expensive suburb. We will not be back.

BEAUTIFUL DAY

The weather was beautiful but the greens are

no, they were recently aerated and have not recovered. The hot humid weather prior to the day we played didn't help there were many ball marks from inconsiderate golfers.

Hugely Disappointing

I could sum it up by saying that I paid for 18 and quit after 9 because the course was in such bad shape, and the pace of play was ridiculous. Ground under repair stakes literally blocking greens, and the greens themselves look like a mine field. Severely over priced for what it is. On the plus side, the starter was nice.

Course was in fair to good condition with the exception of the greens which were in poor condition. The greens were sub-standard compared to other municipal courses in the area.

Course has great features however needs improvement

The layout of the course and staff are too notch. However the pace of play was very slow and unmanaged - 2h45min for 9 holes and we had to wait at each hole. I’m addition the maintenance of the greens needs work - several holes where grass was not growing and it was rock or gravel

Course

Overall a great course, a good test of golf.

When I checked in I was told 2 of our players had checked in already. They were charged $180 to play. We had a pre-paid hot deal. They received a credit, but that shouldn't have happened.

We didn't see anybody on the course to provide drinks or snacks from the cart. That was a negative.

Overall the course was in great shape, EXCEPT for the greens. They were not in good condition, which was a surprise.

Been playing this course for the last two decades. By far this is the poorest condition I can remember. The greens were comically poor.
