Bad staff

Charged for 18 holes at 130pm and guy came out yelling at the 10th that we couldnt turn the corner at 4pm. We had 30 minutes until sunset which we were told we had to bring cart bad. Could have been handled calmly and respectfully. Disgusted by the treatment. At lunch before and staff was very nice. That gentleman ruined my experience .

Beautiful course and the nicest staff

This is my first time playing the course. The layout is fantastic. Very beautiful and scenic course.

I would play here 2 to 3 times a week. The staff is 5 stars without exaggeration.

The owner is the nicest guy and he's clearly proud of his beautiful course that I'm sure brings lots of joy to all players.

The starter is the best! He's courteous, kind and knowledgable. His team are great as well.

Thanks guys

Good layout, the rest was BAD

I think this could be a good course if it were in good shape. Played during a drought. Everything was baked out. Divots were clouds of dust. There was a 40 minute backup on the first tee and then the front nine took nearly three hours. We quit halfway the pace was so bad. They were nice enough to give us a nine hole rain check

5 Greens Under Repair

I went last week for the first time and had nothing but great things to say about the course. Today five of the greens were not in play due to maintenance. Another three greens had so much sand on them it was like putting in a bunker. At a minimum, staff should be warning players. Even better would signage at the hole noting that the hole is placed on the approach. Best would be all of the above and a discount on the greens fee.

Staff had one or two polite members but others were horrible

The women at the pro shop did not honor the price I paid for the round on GolfNow and instead just started getting extremely upset borderline tears.

Shot making course, a lot of contour. Good condition. Finding trouble on course is easy if you haven't played before.

Perfect weather

Tight and beaten up

I’m not sure how this course rates 4 stars, it was in terrible shape with most of the fairway grass dead, plenty of bare dirt patches and beaten up tee boxes. The pace of play was atrocious, with up to 10 minute waits on every tee box. I left after 9 holes because of this combination of disappointments. Don’t plan on returning.

Good value. I’ll go again

Grounds were rough. To be expected with a hot dry summer during Covid. Definitely will go play again though. Can’t wait for the weather to break so the ground can recover.

Great time as always

Only reason for 4 stars is dead spots in a lot of the fairways... totally understandable in this drought! Absolutely love this place and will come back again and again
