Ok course, terrible patrons

I was a single playing behind a 3some. I expected to wait. Never rushed them, would wait until they teed off before even driving up to the tee box. Never hit into or drove up on them and as they never waved me forward I didn’t say anything. However when they started hitting multiple balls after a bad shot, waiting for their other players before they even getting out of their cart never mind selecting a club I realized it wasn’t getting better. After waiting on the 11th tee for over 15 minutes while they messed around I decided to skip them. I drove past them while playing the 12th hole, the group ahead was already on the 13th green. I teed off before they finished 12. As I was about to drive away one of their members approached me and asked why they had to wait for me now. I told them I was by myself, the group ahead was already finishing the hole ahead and that I didnt want to push them. He told me he was waiting on the group ahead all day HA and made a comment under his breath while his friend held his arms up in the background. So I just left. I mentioned this to a ranger I passed who said there was nothing he could do. So; ok course. Accessible, decent condition, but if you don’t have 7 hours to play a round might want to go somewhere else

Wicker from the tips in April

Didn't realize this course could play this long, but it can. Course was in very good condition. Great value as well.

Great first time out

This was a fun course to play. It was in decent shape for being April and very affordable. Didn't have a great selection of food but it was early in the season.

Fast greens and lots of geese as a side note.

Overall good experience and would go back

So Far So Good

Course was in good shape for Mid March. The greens are rolling very nice, and should be even quicker during the summer.

Overall, not a bad course. Average layout, nothing too challenging. Depending on tee times and whether or not a league is playing, players rushing your group can happen, as well as occasional extended wait times at tee boxes due to groups being ahead. For the price charged, it is not a bad experience overall

Great for the price

This course is the best overall course around. It’s challenging, yet inexpensive. The grounds are kept immaculately. This course has become my favorite go to.

Do Yourself a Favor and Pick a Different Course

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT waste your time coming here. Not only did we tee off 30 minutes late, we had to call it quits after the front nine as it proceeded to last 3 hours plus. FOR NINE HOLES. There were multiple 8somes, carts all over the course, and the starter not only was aware, but allowed it. Saying there was some annual outing; however, he put the desires of the outing over all of his other patrons that day. I will never be back.

I absolutely 100% second this comment, it is entirely accurate for 11/7/20. Not only was the situation utterly preposterous, the gentleman in the clubhouse was complete dick about it, hanging up on me when we called to request a ranger come to assist. "It's the Halloween Open", he explained, as three eightsomes ahead of us were taking their time on every hole. When we came in, we said, if you were allowing and expecting this, why weren't we alerted beforehand? He walked away.

Course was great! A little attention to the greens as far as blowing off the leaves would have been great and gone a long way. Other than that, a great course, let alone for the price.
