First Time Playing

Pace of play was horrendous

I realize I went to the course during primetime on sunday but as a single it took me 2.5 hours to play 6 holes and then I left. No ranger no starter. Lots of small groups backed up behind big groups, not very well managed. Course is in good condition but just outrageous how slow it was

Good value, for sure

For $27 with a cart, excellent deal because the course is good. There was sand, lots of sand, which made putting a nightmare. A few bunkers were pretty bad and were free drop areas. Shockingly, on a Tuesday 1030am tee time, as a single, took me about 4.5 hours, which is normal, just seemed slow playing alone. It’s a challenging course, but one that will allow you to score with well placed shots. I am a 10.9 handicap and shot an 84, losing at least 3 shots on sandy greens. Overall, a great deal for a very solid course.

Terrible experience

Paid full price. Staff did not tell us that Bathrooms and concessions were closed. For a wedding.

Battling the Bear…… mini road trip

Enjoyed the course is spite of my not driving my ball very well off the tee. It is well worth the great green fee with a Hot Deal!

Hadn’t played there in a few years mainly because of the fifty plus miles distance from my home.

Layout has potential when grass is cut

When the course is cut it is a ton of fun and priced well! But…

Played last week, Friday 6:30 tee time. Nothing on the course was cut (tee-green) and running into mowers throughout our round as a result of them scrambling to get things done before the weekend rush.

In a week when we had no rain you would think the course would be somewhat ready for the weekend by Friday morning.

Course is fun when it’s in decent shape.

You also have to be picky about tee times here because they cram in groups. Quickest way to end up with a 5-6 hour round but if you can get off before 730am you can keep it at 3-4

Overall good course

Course was nice, they were doing some renovations, staff was terrible. Rude and not worth the money (mainly Marshall and guy who answered phone night before.) Course was nice though

Pace of play sucks

We were on the putting green right next to the first tee and about to head to our tee time when a solo jumped in front of us and proceeded to play there all day. After finishing the first hole you can see the next 3 hole where there was too many groups to count. I do enjoy the course layout and conditions but we didnt even want to play 17 and 18 because it had already been nearly 6 hours since we started.

Slow play ruins this course

It’s a shame every round here lasts 6 hours because it really it’ is a fun course. Space out the tee times more.
