great fun...but really???

As always, course was well groomed, with greens, fairways and tee boxes in great condition. Starter and check in were welcoming and great. I brought two golfers who never played here before one a newbie. I was not happy when one of the rangers felt the need to tell us to hurry up in just the 3rd hole. Because, there is a group two holes behind us who may catch up! HUH? MAY catchup? REALLY??? They are two holes behind us? I HATE WHEN RANGERS feel the need to MANSPLAIN women golfers!!! BY the end of the round, no one caught up, and we had to wait behind a group ahead of us. And the group that was 2 holes behind us...was 4+ holes behind us! I will return because I like playing here - but not sure if I'm bringing a girlfriends anymore.

Just too slow

Great golf value! However, they need to have Rangers/Marshals out on the course to encourage faster pace of play. Got to play only 9 holes in 3+ hours. Now that’s ridiculous!

Sandy Greens

I think the conditions warranted a steep discount or at least a warning on the booking page. One hole was completely closed and in addition to being aerated, the greens were covered in so much sand that you could see it splash every time the ball hit them.

NOT SURPRISED NOW A DAYS

Again. Not informed when greens are aerated and filled with sand after paying $65. Plus one hole closed due to drainage problems 🤦🏼‍♂️

Almost gave up on this course until today!

My last few rounds here took entirely too long to play. Almost 5 hours each time. Today, however, we played a perfect 4 hours round on the west side. The course was in great shape, the staff is always great and the bar cart was always available.

The price, however, is steep for this course. They should never charge $65 for a round....that is insane. The only benefit of the $65 is i think it drives people elsewhere and therefore reduces the time to play a round! lol
