Meh....

* Bring food

* if from out of town go somewhere else rental clubs horrible

* Sand traps are concrete

* Can't drive from range...only 200 yds.

* Bring Xtra balls. 😉 17 handicap

* greens bombed out.

****** Don't pay more than 35 or 40 for this course. It's a public course and it shows.

Staff were friendly.

5 hours and 15 minutes to play 15 holes on a Tuesday afternoon!!

Course is in nice condition, greens are excellent, pace of play was ridiculously long, over 5 hours on a short course to play 15 holes. I had to skip the last 3 holes as I had only planned on 4 hours or so. Plus the two players I was paired up with had never really played before and they were the worst I have ever seen, 6 to 10 putts every hole. But in spite of their awful playing, they did not hold me up, it was groups in front and it was ridiculous. I do not think I will come back here.

Also their practice mats, please turn them and put the tees in the new slots as your mats stink as is due to huge ruts in them. Or get new ones! Geez, how can management not see this is beyond me.

Unfairway Hills back in effect

Pretty disappointing. I played here 1 1/2 weeks earlier and there are areas of rough that had still yet to be mowed since then and they were too long before. The areas were not even wet anymore so there's no excuse for the lack of maintenance. 6 inch rough is not just challenging, it's unplayable for even the longest hitters. Holes nine through 18 it seems like they're really only cutting the greens and occasionally the fairways. The Tee sheet is packed from morning to evening so it's not like the course isn't making money. Also the green speeds are all over the place, some greens are fast some greens are slow, no consistency. Didn't used to be this way. I don't think I'll be back for a while to play a course with poorly maintained conditions and a slow pace of play.

Good course to use all of your irons. Some tee boxes need work. The greens were slower than the practice green. It was one of the most expensive public courses in the area.
