August 1st 2022 Review
An interesting course, however the tee boxes were in very poor condition for the most part. Several bunkers had sand loaded into them but work need to be completed to spread the sand out - would have been better to focus on 1 bunker at a time - will be good when complete.
The course always gets backed up - at least that is my experience - need to gap tee times better.
A good one
Pace of play was decent. They are trying to address this challenge and they know they have a reputation for slow play. Some bunkers need improving. Hotdogs are great!
Greens
In great shape for this time of the year. Green are in excellent shape
Tee times
Tee times did not start on time so that caused a big back up to start with. It was a weekend tee time so a good start is a must;also, we had a mix of 4some 3 some and a 2 some . The 2some could have been managed with another 2 some and play would not have been so erratic.
Don’t play on Mondays
This course will schedule tee times even if they have a golf league. They do not tell you there are leagues and then send you out behind them.
The average par 4 took 25 minutes for 2 players to play, most of that time is waiting for the golfers in front of you while they search for the ball they just hit in the woods. Maybe if you play after 1pm you will be able to get in a round in less than 4.5 hours.
Unfriendly atmosphere
Signed for an early tee time. Showed up a bit close to the start time and apologized. Met with hostility and tried to deflect. I was playing with two novice golfers and we made a rule that they would only shoot double par per every hole. Well as I was taking my second shot from the fairway the starter came up to me. I expected a “the tee sheet is full, can you guys keep it to 15 mins per hole?” Instead I was met with “what is wrong? Are you guys ok?” I then put it on the green for a birdie look. On hole three we reached the group in front of us. That didn’t stop the ranger to stop by our group many more times. I have no issues with starters, rangers, even the front desk keeping play up but the second you do it while being disrespectful you lose my business. I wish the best for the course and the patrons who play it, however the three men I dealt with that day ruined it for my friends and family.
Always fun!
With the exception of the young man working when I went to check in for our 5:28AM tee time (perhaps not a morning person... Not at all a company man), we enjoyed a very pleasant round.
Too many tee times
If you have tee times every 6 minutes, the course will be stacked and even pros can't make that work with carts. Fewer tee times so a round doesn't last 5.5 hours. There were multiple times 2 or 3 groups were waiting on a tee box. This was also a weekday. Stop scheduling 6 or 8 minute tee times. You get more money but it diminishes the experience and dissuades patrons. I only chose you because you were the only time available and I regretted it immediately because I knew what would happen.
Enjoyable round
They're doing a nice job maintaining the course. Greens, tees, fairways are all in good shape. I;ve played here a dozen times or so, and it's never been in poor condition.
4 sets of tees, so just about everyone can find challenge.
