Great course

This course is kept in great condition. It's tough but fair. Missing fairways is costly, but they are well kept as are the greens. Just love it for a couple of bucks more than a run of the mill course closer to home but soooooo worth it!

Round on 8/10/23

Course is in great shape, greens were lightning fast and rolled true, fairways are firm and fair. The long grass is almost impossible to get the ball back in to the fairway, but it's difficult to get in to unless your really hitting the driver poorly.

Beautiful course in great shape, keep it in play and you'll have a great day.

Very nice course

It's beautiful and very unforgiving. The rough is thick, and the greens are very fast. A ton of fun to play though

Nice Course

Bought coupon from Group Golfer - what a steal. Course in great shape. As an average golfer I would knock the really thick rough & pin positions were in Tournament positions. Miss a put by a foot it may roll 10 ft away

Great Course

A beautiful course in excellent condition. Back nine definitely more challenging than the front. Keeping it in the fairway is a must!

Rangers

Rangers are rare at most courses but this one had three. Nothing was said by either of them as to the cart path only rule because of heavy rain the night before. They did catch up to us on hole 8 and scolded us for being in the fairway and another quick reminder as we made the turn. Why wouldn't they have said anything to us on #1 when all 3 were huddled under a tree chatting and could clearly see us take off down the fairway? Maybe the pro shop could've said something when we paid. Besides that it was a good time.

Nice course

Nice course--greens extremely fast--hard to get used to. Course a little tight but well kept. It appeared they monitored the pace of play. Took about 2:15 for 9 holes--so not horrible

Great course with inpeccable greens but the pace of play on a random, summer Sunday was horrible. 6 hours to play 18 and the front nine took 3 hours and 20 minutes. Disappointing as the rest of the course was amazing.
