Great course

Played with my 15 yo son, we had a great time. Fairways, rough and greens all in excellent shape. Course is very open and forgiving. Nice practice facilities and staff were all first class. Highly recommend

Course was in good shape and we finished in under 4 hours. Bar was closed at 6pm which was annoying.

One of the worst experiences ever

From the start of the round till the end the threesome in front of us was extremely slow and drinking. No one ever came out to get them to play faster. When we checked in the clubhouse said we should have no issue with finishing but we only completed 16 holes. When we returned our carts in the dark the staff did not help with anything. Three people walking around and one person counting his money who refused to help and said the clubhouse was closed and there was nowhere to complain after I told him what happened. Extremely disappointing when you pay to golf a nice course and this is the experience you have

Nice but track your water

Course is in great shape, hats off to the maintenance staff. Appreciate the water in the cooler and encourage more cooler access on the course.

Course was nice, but I would not pay $320 to play. We did a $100 for all the holes you can play and that seemed like a good price to get 11-15 holes in

This was our opener round and it was relaxing and fun to play. Fairways were easy to hit, greens were quick and challenging to read. Pace of play was a touch slow but we were happy to take our time. Nice afternoon of golf! Using the Golfnow deal was a bonus.
