Course was fine, service was awkward

I enjoyed playing this course, which I thought was in excellent shape. However, it took quite a long time to get us check in: first there was no one at the desk, then when someone arrived they were unable to charge me the correct price, then the person who arrived to fix the situation charged me for the wrong thing, and then was confused over the price I should have paid. Then, when I asked for a scorecard, the scorecard I was given was already used. I don't golf that much, but I've never had that happen before. It was all very strange. I still enjoyed my time and would play the course again, but it was a really rocky start.

Great Golf Day!

Played by myself! As I approached for a tee time there was a foursome getting ready to go and they let me go ahead! I flew around the course and finally played the last three holes with another person! Course was well manicured and the greens were in very good shape. Some of the holes are confidence builders, but overall a really nice course! After play had a grilled tenderloin sandwich that was absolutely awesome!! Good golf day! Enjoyed course and the people there. Booked tee time the night before.

Great pace of play

We played in 2 hours and 50 minutes. Had a girl walking 18 in front of us and didn’t slow us down. Fairways in great shape as well as greens.

Good to come back

This course has several holes that reward a well placed drive. You can still scramble to save par most times, but the first shot is really rewarded if placed well.

Dry course fairways and tee boxes hard

I have always liked this course. Right now the dry weather has made this course hard as a rock. Tee boxes are in poor shape and fairways are pretty dead but ball travels a long way. The good thing is green are in great shape. They are running fast ands true.

Nice golf course

Tee boxes are in dire need for some attention. Thin grass and hard as a rock. It has been dry around here and the course is dry but holding up well. Greens are good and smooth. Fairways are hard and running out. Used a good deal from golf now and had a great time.

Greens smooth but slower than last year.

We had a good round of golf today.Above average course in good shape. Greens not running as fast as the past. Also no time has been spent raking bunkers. Sand is there but it needs some attention.
