Very Satisfied
Played Saturday late morning and got off at our exact tee time. Pace was a little slow but played in 4 1/2 hours. Course in good shape but greens were a little slow. $60 senior rate seemed a little high but it was the weekend.

Thank you for your comments on our course. We do keep our greens in the middle for speed, but with the rain they have been a little slower. We offer bigger discounts for seniors during the week and hopefully you can take advantage of those. Thank you again and we are glad your overall experience was a good one.
