Greens need some work.

The course is pretty nice. The greens are beat up pretty bad & need to be rolled. The 16th hole next to the mansion is a beautiful hole & appears to be the best kept hole on the course. The staff was great & we had a great time. I had a deal & we played 18 for about $30 each. Normal green fees are about $50 which in my opinion would be a bit steep. I likely will be back if I can get a deal on the price again.

Accuracy is the key!

This course needs accuracy off the tee or you will be playing to bogey or worse on most holes. Most holes only need a three wood or five wood off the tee but getting on the green in regulation is no guarantee of a birdie or par due to very fast greens if above the holes or even side putts. So err on the approach shots below the holes. Overall is a very challenging course and if you can putt well you have accomplished a “star” rating!

Terrible pace of play.

They book tee times inbetween leagues. Your best bet is during the week which is impossible for most people. Course condition sucks also

Absolutely packed

No spacing between tee times. 3-4 groups waiting at every tee box. As we made the turn they decided to send a couple groups off the back which backed everything up even more. We had to wait an extra 20-30 minutes to tee off on hole 10. The round ended up taking us almost 5.5 hours to play. Definitely over priced as well.

Good value

Good value. What it lacks in length, it makes up for with tight fairways and challenging greens. Not heavily played, so I can usually get a tee time on short notice. Shot placement is critical. Being on the wrong side of the green can easily lead to a 3 putt on certain holes.

Way too overcrowded

After waiting on the first tee for 10 minutes past our scheduled tee time, we asked the ranger if we could start on the back 9. We did, and ended up playing the back 9 twice since the first tee was still very crowded after the turn.

Unbelievably slow

An 18 hole day should take around just under 4 hours walking for my buddy and I but man was that not the case for when I played here. It took us 6 1/2 hours. 6 1/2 hours. We were behind two different 6 man groups on the front and back 9 who wouldn’t let us pass them. The course it self was okay but the whole experience was ruined by this extremely slow pace of play.

Would not recommend.

Firstly, the staff was friendly and courteous. This course was terrible for the price. The layout is ridiculous. The fact that I didn’t get hit with a ball is crazy. Poorly maintained. Some of the tee boxes looked like the rough. Greens were patchy. Several greens were severely sloped. If I paid $25 to play here I’d be ok with it, but $56 is nuts.
