terrible staff

enjoyable course if you can deal with a nightmare of a starter. Was treated very poorly. Love the course, good value but the little guy up front treats everyone like a villain. I would go back in a heart beat if they got rid of him.

Too freaking slow !

5 hours for a 3some to play 18 holes is absolutely ridiculous.

The 4 guys in front of us were 2 holes behind the group in front of them. That absolutely destroys any rhythm or flow for your round. They really need a ranger or a clientele with more golf etiquette.

Fun layout

Played here for the first time, some fairways were in ok shape, the rest were in really good condition, the greens were great varying with speeds and challenge levels due to pin placement. The best part of the course is the layout and various holes with the slight hill elevations. Made it a really fun course to play in this area and challenging you enough but not to where it’s lost it’s fun.
