Course looked to be in great shape. Greens and fairways were excellent for a public course in this area. Pace of play was slow but it was a holiday and the course was packed.

Too crowded

I enjoyed playing the course. 6,000 yds from the senior tees is long for me. There were too many people that took too long to play a shot.

Pace of Play

Unreasonable pace of play, foursome in front of me didn’t have the consideration to allow a single to play through. Used to enjoy playing here but the last few rounds have been rather frustrating. Takes you out of your game and rhythm.

Over Booked; Slow Pace

I’m not sure how you have 6 people teeing off at the same tee time, but it happened here. I’ve been told they double book but who knows. Foursome in front of me wouldn’t even offer to let me play through as a single. Waited for 10 mins on each tee box. Used to enjoy playing this course but not going to be somewhere I play in the near future.

Downhill recently

Course conditions are mediocre, at best…. Course is normally in great condition but not today… yellow/Brown fairways, shaggy greens, rough that’s 4” …. Pace of play on the back 9 was pathetic… not sure I’ll be back, but i love the layout
