Busy course you are not playing a quick round unless you are up early and get going in the first 5 groups. Course improvements are making it alot harder to get on. Enjoy your round!
Good round we will be back
We enjoyed the complex, yet a fair challenge and we will return to conquer number 12 it is the first 8 on a short par 4 ever!!!!
Classic design and great amenities
This is a hidden gem. A golden age architecture design with good conditions, pace of play, staff, and excellent food and beverage. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!
Good value, poor staffing
Showed up 15 minutes before round, stood in line at counter for 12 minutes while clerk (older w/m, thin, glasses) had a conversation with a younger man about taxes and mortgages. This was around 2:30pm. Got to 1st tee box and got caught behind a very slow foursome. Starter said he could have gotten us out ahead of them if we were there a few minutes earlier.
Not the first time dealing with poorly trained/non-supervised staff in the shop at this course.
Tricky Holes
Very nice layout to the course. Back nine has some tricky holes. Overall nicely kept.
Old time course in great shape
Tees, fairways, rough and green in great shape. Sand not so much. A fun and somewhat challenging course. 16 is a part 5 with more than a90 degree bend. Watch the map on the scorecards as routing can be a bit confusing.
Check In
Why does this course post on GolfNowyet make you pay at the course? Also a GolfNow user cannot use any of their credits or awards. GolfNow should not allow this.
Also when there are three groups waiting to pay the desk clerk should not behaving a ten minute conversation with a golfer about taxes and mortgages. This was a thin male with glasses in a light blue polo shirt at 2:45pm. Not the first time with an issue with the desk personnel. Maybe slow people to pay in the GolfNow app in full and then the desk clerk will have more time to chat with people and those wanting to tee off can get on the course.
Great older design
Course was great shape in terms of tees, fairways, rough and greens. Traps not so much. Pay attention to the map on the scorecards, routing can be difficult without it. Facilities worn, but was there to play golf.
Unplayable bunkers and bumpy cart paths
Would not recommend booking a time here. I know they have new maintenance staff but the course is still a long way away from being ready for play. Didn’t see a ranger out there once to help improve play on a busy Friday tee sheet. We saw the beverage cart once on hole 3 and never again afterwards. Pro shop is old and dated as well. Tee box’s were not level. Cart path needed a re-pave 15 years ago. Good luck finding hole #1 if you haven’t played there before. Lastly we showed up missing one guy who couldn’t make it due to a family emergency. Guys in pro shop said nothing, neither did the starter….. then I get charged a few days later for the full amount. In those cases you can just charge me on the day of the golf and give a rain check if you really need the $65 that bad. I won’t be back.
Nice old course
Very old course, dates back to the 1900's. Front 9 is fairly easy. The back gets a little tricky. Hole 12 is a challenge. Lay up off the tee, then about a 100 yard second shot up a hill about 40 yards high to a blind green. Par is a great score on that hole. Other then that it's a basic course.
