Great Deal!
They could use a starter and someone to
Monitor play. Took almost 5 hours to play 18.
Outstanding tee boxes, great greens. Lots of sand, which could be tilled a little more frequently.

Not bad for the price
Staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The course was in pretty good condition for a 25 dollar round. Not extremely difficult but not too straight forward either. The Greens were freshly aerated so that was a little frustrating. I played as a twosome with a buddy and seemed to be waiting AT LEAST 5 minutes for the group ahead of us to analyze each putt. It made it very hard to find a rhythm. A single behind us called the club house and the ranger came by to check on us and we were told they were backed up on the whole course but we didn't once see a group in front of the meticulous putters.

Nice Course, Terrible Pace
Have attempted to play this course 3 times, all within 4+ hours of it getting dark, and have yet to complete 18 holes!
The pace seems to always be bad! Their many “senior” leagues combined with overbooking always results in a log-jam at the tees.
Course shape, layout and price are all great but...

Well worth the price
A little windy and that made it tough. The fairways and greens were very well taken care of for this price point. I’m coming back in one to two days after talking some buds to come out
