Good day

Not a bad day. Pace of play was great. I know it's early in the year so the course needs to grow in a bit to get to that shape we enjoy playing.

Great Course!

This course is nice. Well manicured, not too difficult but some challenge for a high handicapper like myself. Got lucky on a Wednesday and pretty much had the course to myself. New cart paths going so my back says thanks!

SCS Fall 2025

I’ve played this course dozens of times over the years and generally enjoy it. Lately, between the price increase and construction going on, it’s been less enjoyable. They have altered 4-5 of the holes quite a bit, so I would keep that in mind when booking. The course conditions and amenities are always solid, overall no complaints but ready for next year when the construction is finished!

Great Spot

It’s a great little track to really help you improve your game. The only downside side is the pace of play. It’s a killer, you can be sitting on a tee box with two other groups ahead of you on the same hole.

Etiquette

Very pleased with the course, but, very disappointed with golf course etiquette. Unraked sand traps and unfixed ball marks on the greens shows a lack of respect for the game.

Overbooking

Pace of play was ridiculous. Waited appox 10 minutes on each tee box. Our group made the turn to find that the course sent a single to 10 to play between my group (3 players) and the foursome that were ahead of us. The day felt like a lost cause after 11 holes and I left after 14 as the pace of play felt like a form of torture. I don't see myself returning.
