Construction significantly shortened 2 holes

I've played the West Course several times in the past really good experiences. Slow play is often a risk at muni courses, but our group got stuck behind a foursome that had no concept of ready golf (and they were in carts; we caught them on hole 2). We tried to be patient but decided to skip hole 5 to pass them (2 holes were open ahead of them) and a ranger didn't come by until we finished the 6th and were heading to hole 7. Greens looked like they were aerated a couple of weeks ago and hadn't yet been rolled (fairly slow), which is not unusual for his time of year. However, the bigger issue was that there is construction on the course which materially shortened holes 15 & 16, with hole 16 having the flag stuck in the middle of the fairway (no putting green at all). This should have been disclosed on the website and/or at check-in, and frankly, they shouldn't charge full price for rounds that cannot be included in a GHIN handicap. I will not return (and wouldn't recommend this course to anyone) until the construction is complete and holes 15 & 16 are returned to their normal length.

Great golf course

I like the East course better than the West. It has a good mix of different holes with a very interesting layout which makes for a fun round. The East course is harder to walk than the West course because it is more hilly so I recommend taking a cart.

Super nice

This course was fantastic! Every staff member was super nice and excited to help (which can be rare these days). The only complaint I would have is just a 5 and a half round is just crazy ! I can’t even be mad at the ranger because he definitely tried to have them pick up the pace .. a 18 round should never take more than 4 hours .

Bugs! Bugs ! Bugs!

Really nice golf course . That being said, my

round was ruined by a rediculous amount of

Small biting nats. Then a bee bite.,Trip to

Urgent Care and two sleepless nights with

Crazy itch. When they are gone, I’ll definitely be back.
