First of all, pace of play was great!

Pace of play was great. Got partnered up with some nice guys. Course was fun and not too challenging until you got to the greens. But my golf game was hit or miss that day.

Least organized course I’ve ever seen

8:43 AM teatime showed up in 72 people had the same teetime. They made us walk about a mile out to a hole four to walk/play nine which means you have to walk back from hole 12 when you’re done. On top of that, they said that we’re starting at 4B. There’s another teatime ahead of us starting on hole four.

No warning about any of this. I would recommend you never come here to this scummy establishment trying to squeeze every penny they can out of it. Sad how scummy a business can be.

Slow play caused by management

The course was nice but the experience was terrible. Groups are pushed out too close together. No one is out watching the pace so we waited on every tee, sometimes being the 3rd group on the hole. Everything was slow, slow, slow. The front 9 took 3 hours on a Tuesday afternoon in late October. When we got to the 10th, two more groups had been sent off the back so we had no chance to finish before dark. I DO NOT recommend this course. Too bad, it’s an interesting layout.

Nicely arranged course

It’s the 1st time playing this course with single player booking but luckily joined the other 3 in one flight. I love the way that the cart can be driven on the fairways. The ups and downs design makes the course more challenging but enjoyable.

Course layout and conditions

Marked this course as first time played because although I used to play here a lot in my teens, now im in my 60’s . It was the first time I’ve played it since they resigned it. Couldn’t believe the great condition it was in. Fairways and ruffs were neatly groomed. They have done a great job with the new layout. Very large greens very well maintained. Very fast but still soft enough to hold your shots. Very challenging for golfers of all abilities. Can’t wait to play it again. Would highly recommend this course to anyone. Can’t believe this is the same course we played as teens because no one wanted to play there. They are now extremely busy but the employees seem generally happy to welcome you. Seems they like seeing that it’s now a place to enjoy playing.

Great value for a course that was in mostly great shape( only a temporary tee box as the only negative) might be the best value around. The bar and restaurant were great as well, super friendly staff.
