Exceptionally fast greens.

greens were fast and true which is great but on a couple holes the speed along with pin position just weren't fair. 9th hole my buddy had 50 ft putt from front of green. He actually hit a decent put that was about 2-3 ft short. The putt once it lost its speed actually reversed course and rolled all the way off the green. Also Hawk 9 first hole has condos very close to right side. My buddy hit one that ended up out of bounds but didn't hit the buildings and homeowner was a complete jerk berating us and saying we need lessons and saying we didn't respect private property. We never went on their property and I would guess this homeowner has a misersble existence as I'm sure people hitting into ther property is a regular occurrence.

Bar rip off

Made a teatime with a twosome they let the first guy out 20 minutes before they we’re supposed to, the second guy 10 minutes before, so we had three singles playing the golf course. Needless to say a threesome wouldn’t be waiting on every shot like three singles does. I got a beer before I teed off. I got a second beer when I made the turn. In total they charged me for three beers even though I only got two. After calling every day for three days and being promised callbacks no one called me back. It’s not a large sum of money but it’s very annoying.

Playing as a single

I could’ve taken an earlier teatime that nobody had signed up for. But I took the 1 o’clock because two people had already booked that time. 20 minutes before my teatime to two guys I was supposed to play with were already gone. Instead of making new friends at the golf course there was 3 singles playing.

Great course to play when you stay in the fairway. Also,, the putting was excellent on the greens. The ball roll was magnificent.

Not impressed

Not sure what all the hype is about this course. Greens were full of pitch marks and many of the tee boxes were not level. Plus nearly 5 hours to play a round mid week. Play the metropark courses for a much better experience.

Closed 9 Holes

They closed 9 holes and shoved 27 holes worth of golfers on 18 holes and it took almost 6 hours. This was my 6th time playing the course this year and it has never been like this. I will not play there again until they open back up to 27 holes.
