Not for the price

Greens were pitifully slow and overall condition of course was poor. Not anywhere near the caliber that a $150 per person price tag implies

Beautiful Course, just too slow

The course was in great shape, staff was great - a 5+ hour round of golf just is not enjoyable. Reasonable pace of play should be enforced.

Slowwww

I have played this course many times since becoming public. Today, the course overall is in pretty good condition; however, the greens were so slow with noticeable shag, especially at the price point.

Pace of play was also very slow and the course was backed up after the first 4 holes, with sitting and waiting on every shot being greater than 5 minutes. While slower play is somewhat expected for weekday twilight, many groups of 2 or even singles were holding up groups of 3 and 4 which is an odd occurrence.

Great layout. Tough greens

Greens needed to be cut or rolled. Not playing as they should for the price tag the course charges. As well don’t expect a cart person to come rolling around. Non existent and not expected. Staff were very hospitable but overall the price tag is not warranted for what they are providing.

The course and conditions were very good. The greens were very slow, but weather conditions no doubt played a factor.

Too expensive for what it jd

Decently kept course but the greens were thick and very slow today. Got paired and had to ride with the most annoying individual I’ve ever golfed with, which definitely detracted from the enjoyment. Overall this course is not worth its high price whatsoever. I have played several other courses in the area for about half as much that was in just as good conditions and greens that roll true instead of extremely slow.
