Played 9 and was told there are 9-Hole rates and I must pay for 18, which I did. Didn't seem right, nor did I want to argue with the woman.

Course could use a little TLC, tee boxes, fairways and greens were a 7 out of 10, fringe and rough were a 4-5. Staff was friendly and accommodating when we alerted them to the group in front of us having a slow pace of play. The group in front of us were hitting multiple balls, hanging out too long on the greens and playing from the tips even though one player in their group didn’t even have clubs and it was their second time playing (we chatted with them to try and get them to move things along). While this is no fault of the staff or course, I feel they could have done a better job of regulating this group and other groups in front that were not following traditional golf etiquette and pace of play. On the back nine we were behind a group of teenagers and saw them drive their cart across the green, again no fault of the staff but it’s sad that there are people playing on courses that have no business being there. If the staff is allowing these types of people to play on their course then there should be more rangers out on the course making sure they are following the rules and not impacting the other people that are following rules and keeping pace of play.
