Slowest pace of play in GR area. Terrible on course assistants do nothing to keep people moving. Never again.

Signs of regress but great course nonetheless
The course is starting to show some signs of regressing, fairways are becoming harder, more patches where the fairway meets the rough and bunkers are becoming harder. It’s still a great course nonetheless! Greens were fast, pace of play was about what you expect here, 4 hour round. A couple tee boxes are needing some love nowadays but I appreciate them renovating the par 3 7th hole.

Great Course
Greens were really fast, caught me off guard. There are several drainage ditches or creeks before the greens that aren't shown on the score card. I hit a ball in one on hole #2 because they aren't labeled.

One issue
Unfortunately we were interrupted on 17 and 18 hole by students cutting through the course to go to football game. They walked right in front of us on 17 and picked up our ball that was on the green. It continued going to 18th. There’s a path from the road that students were using to cut through to football field. Yelling and giving no consideration to the golfers.
