Temporary greens
Temporary greens on every hole.. some holes cut in half yardage wise. Would have been nice to know before booking it. $25 wasted.. walked off after the 7th hole.

Way too slow
Play here often, and frankly since the Pro change it is somewhat less than it was….4 hr rounds are now 5+…hit, wait, repeat. This round I walked off after 11 hole-3.5hrs of hit and wait-group 3 in front of us had 2 open holes in front of them, zero rangers on the course, hopefully they correct it in the spring…yet the see the “new pro” actually at the course supervising or visible.

Nice course and well maintained
Staff was friendly and the course was in great shape. Workers were working on the leaves and keeping the course clean and free of leaves. I will be back for sure.

West course in excellent condition. Pace of play was a little slow and no rangers were around to move play along. Fairways were spectacular and greens in good shape but a little slow.
