Wind shield

Their cart does not provide a windshield. It was brutal during fall and early spring weather.

Beautiful course with good difficulty level for a beginner. Went on a Saturday with perfect weather, so the pace was rushed.

Very slow rate of play. Single foursome holding up 6 groups behind. Ranger/clubhouse was no help.

Great course condition

Visiting from out of town, I’d definitely recommend this course. Greens and fairways in great shape, and the rough was very playable. We were the second group to tee off, so the course was still quite wet from the evening dew, but things warmed/dried up.

Was really impressed with the condition of the course. As mentioned by others, the 8 minute spacing between groups is pretty tight, and we had a twosome chasing us the whole round.

Just 4 holes surrounded by houses, which is always a concern for me as a new golfer. But fairways are pretty wide, and appreciated.

Tee times too close

I love this course. Its where I learned to golf, however, I hardly ever go to this course unless it’s the only place available. The pace of play is horrendous. They jam pack the course with tee times every 7 or 8 minutes. There are 3 groups on nearly every hole. This course needs to chill out with tee times so close together. It’s a gem, but it’s unplayable with the way they jam people on to the course

SLOW PLAYERS delight...

This course is very nice. Nothing wrong with the course. Its a nice layout that is well maintained. The staff is nice and helpful as well. I can't give the course a better rating because the pace of play is awful! Its achingly slow. The reason is the old women playing slow and unwilling to let anyone play thru! So...just know...if plan on playing there...the 4hr 15 minute pace of play shown on the card is just a guide that probably won't be met.
