Slow pace.

No rangers. People in front of us. Sharing clubs. I don’t know how the starter didn’t see it. Oh yeah he never gets off the seat of his cart he’s sitting in.

Dunes and more Dunes

Played today and found the course overall okay. But and theres always a but, the greens were a throwback to the days the greens were made of sand. Evey green had a layer of sand that certainly affected the putts. Typically greens get a layer of sand after they are aerated...which these were not. So whats up with that? Like I began, an okay course that could use some TLC,

HORNETS NESTS ON GREENS

The course overall wasn’t in great condition, but we couldn’t finish the 7th hole because the green is completely taken over by massive hornets:

The greens are EXTREMELY SLOW because they have laid so much sand on them. The conditions completely threw off my game.

Not worth the $20 I paid for 9 holes. Likely won’t go back anytime soon.

Great place to play.

From time to time there were areas that rough, fairways and fringes could have been grown more. They put sand on the greens, so that made putting more challenging. Otherwise, the pace of play was 3:45 and the group I was paired with was fun/talkative.

Solid course

Not the most challenging course but always pleasant. Staff and starter are friendly. Only issue on this particular day was the group in front of us slowed the pace for everyone behind them. It would be nice for a ranger to make the slow groups keep a decent pace and avoid backing up everyone else.

It's not a very challenging course, but it's enjoyable for what it is. Overall it's very narrow and not very long but if you're looking for a quick and inexpensive round of golf this is where you want to be.

Fred sly the starter

Fred sly is a horrible horrible human being. He has 0 right working for anyone, let alone a golf course. Miserable, rude and unprofessional doesn’t even do justice. Will never think about playing here again.

They need to have Rangers on the course to keep up with pace of play..When we got to the 4th hole one of the workers was sleeping on his lawnmower on the tee box behind us so disrespectful..Other than that it's a nice course and pretty well kept.And yes I will always play this course it really is nice.
