Poor management

The staff member was rude and I felt rushed, they didn’t have a good pace of play. Threesomes in front of twosomes. Took far to long to golf 18 for two people.

Greens

Course was in good shape considering the dry weather and hot temps. Sprinkler system must be working overtime. The greens were fantastic.

This course was just fine for a good time.

From the yellow tees it was somewhat easy and the greens were in good shape.

Course was in great shape considering the time of year. A few leaves on the ground but if you were in the fairway no problem.

Nice "country" course

I play here quite a bit and the course this day was in very good shape. The greens were nice & so were the fairways. The only problem was there were a lot of leaves.

Nice, challenging course.

the golf course was in great fall condition. It is a nice challenge. The only negative was the pace of play. I started off nicely, but ran into a very slow playing league or group,

Nice course for the money

Overall condition of course was great, greens were true. Front nine played tight in areas, nack nine was open and long. Was good to see they are reinvesting in the course as areas were under repair, nothing that caused problems. Enjoyable day on the course with good company. First time playing it, would play again.

Nice course

Course overall was nice. I'm a beginner so there were a few tough narrow shots out of the tee box. No major complaints. I happened to go on a wet morning and the bugs were awful but I'm sure on a dry sunny day it is fine.
