The greens were pockmarked and very slow. The pace of play was also agonizing. There were multiple groups stacked up in each hole.

Great course for all skills

Layout was great, greens were a little firm but rolled well. Only downside is the snack shack was closed on a Sunday afternoon and had nothing in clubhouse but Red Bulls.
