Poor course

The fairways were low tier at best the rough was patchy and hard as a rock. The greens were well maintained and about the only thing decent about the course. The staff was friendly

Great course!

As alway, the course was in great shape even after it rained most of the day before. Early tee times tend be a littler slower on the weekends but it picked up on the back nine. Chris and the staff earn the 5 stars every round!! I will definitely be back!

A great value - fantastic greens and easy to walk

This is a great gold course. The greens are challenging and roll pure. Lots of birdie chances out there - a really great place.

Perfect weather
Walked

Played this course on Master's Sunday 2022, and came back in June 2022. Both times I enjoyed the course. It's not long, but there are plenty of spots for you to get into trouble.

PACE: A bit slow, and no ranger. Not unbearable, but groups were not staying behind the group in front of them.

CONDITIONS: Tee boxes and fairways were great. Rough wasn't too long. Bunkers were wet/flat from rain the day before. Greens were soft, but fast.

STAFF: Nice. Though the cart girl should service beer on the tee boxes, and not next to the greens slowing up the group behind.

VALUE: Yes... great value. Will be back.

LAYOUT: Holes 1, 2, 17, and 18 are all on the flat, "boring" part of the course (though hole 2 has a biarritz-style green). The fun is from holes 3 thru 16. Holes 5, 6, and 7 are a fun stretch. The par 3 10th is fun. The course is very walkable, and I would recommend walking.

Only downside was that there wasn't (or I didn't see) a driving range by the South course. Apparently there's one by the North course.

Enjoy!

Nice public course

Course conditions were good & pace was excellent. Only two issues were a cart fee was extra and not included in the GolfNow rate. The other issue was a lack of beverage selection.

Arrogant & clueless staff

Nice layout. Too wet, sprinkle less when raining. Aerate greens.

Everyone off 10th tee. Since there were 2 groups on tee, ask proshop to play 1st hole. He said no way, despite only 11 cars in parking lot.

Going to back nine, there were 2 new groups in front of me. (Not league) Asked proshop to halt those groups until I continue my round. New guy said I don't know. After playing next 2 holes in 25 minutes I quit...
