Great day!

The weather was perfect and the pace of play was very good. Not rushed, sometimes a little wait ahead.

Worthless staff

New policies, not posted a yea here, paid for a cart but carts are t allowed out after 4. I’m sorry but if you change a policy on Friday and my reservation was made on Tuesday then I should be grandfathered in. Not the first time I’ve felt like this course ripped me off. They always blame golf now but in reality it’s the staff’s incompetence..

Great day out

Course was fun to play even after getting 2 inches of rain the night Before. I liked the course and will be back great for price! My only gripe would be not putting singles and doubles behind a foursome I’m having a play up on you and having to let people play through!

Good for beginners

Very forgiving course no real hazards to worry about. Wont lose ball in over burden. Only problem I had was the pace. Had 3 hackers and a single ahead of me so waited for them to play through. No coarse chief to move people along.

But good for first timers. I normally shoot 20 over par here just under 10 over.

Poor

First thing the golf carts where disgusting looks like they haven't been washed in a few weeks, the course wasn't to bad except for the greens who ever sanded them put to much sand on the greens my ball was bouncing all over second I worked on a golf course and i understand why the sand is put on the greens but we always did ours in mid to late October. Then while we were playing the ground crew came to our green while we were putting and started blowing the leaves all over and our balls as well. Played this course quite a few times and this time by far the worse course i played this year and the worst experience I've had there.
