6 hour round burnt greens.

Got there for a 1:18 tee time. No carts available, had to wait to for a cart to come back. When a cart arrived we teed off at 1:45 as a twosome. The two groups behind us went out in front of us and were terrible golfers. Never let us through. Waited at least 15 mins on every hole to play. No ranger, the greens were completely burnt-drought striken. Will never play this course again. Left after 14 holes, couldn’t take it anymore! Layout is decent but I would have a hard time recommending this course to anybody.

Fast and Fun

Greens were very dry and fast. Greens Played like a us open, after the first few holes you get the hang of the speed and the challenge was enjoyable. Best bang for the bucks in the south East metro.

Trash

Me and my brother were not pleased with this course at all. Greens were not taken care of... the community was scowling at us the times we went into the clubhouse. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Not will I be back.
