Beautiful course - great shape - Nice Greens

I arrived 20 minutes before my tee time. They had my pre-paid reservation inside at the Pro Shop, but the starter did not have it on his paperwork, so others went on and I sat for 30 minutes after my tee-time. However, the starter was such a nice man and said he would do his best to get me out soon and he did. He was very conscientious and I appreciated that as I was a little ticked off on their booking error. I worked on my putting skills for 30 minutes and, how about that, I had 3 birdies.

All good....nice course.

Good course and experience

Nothing can be done about the pace of play when the course is jammed.

Course conditions

No sand in the traps hard clay under 3/4” of sand. Greens were punched 6 weeks ago and still haven’t recovered. Ball bounces all over

Not Worth It

I enjoyed my time, it wasn't too bad for $48. However, just the conditions could have been better. Punched greens wasn't too bad. But, some had enough sand to cover the Sahara.

No heads up about the punched greens

Aeration

Your site did not reveal that the course had been aerated and sanded. The green fee therefore should have been around $25, not $55. Way overpriced for the condition.

Greens were recently aerated (and filled with sand), making the greens slow and unpredictable . Overall fairways are good. And a good challenging course

The course was in excellent shape, except for the fact that the greens had just been aerated and topped dressed.

A favorite course

We had a beautiful day, found the course to be in great shape, and the staff friendly and informative. The pace for the first 9 holes was brutal, but the back 9 played in 1.5 hours.
