First Impression

Some challenging holes, lots of water

Fairways are a bit patchy, some bare spots

Greens are good,

Would be difficult to walk, some of the holes are really spread out

Plan to play again

We booked on GolfNow & had a tee time confirmed. Our friends booked the time immediately following. We arrived early to warm up & were told our tee time was actually 20 minutes later than what we booked, because their system and GolfNow’s were not synced, and that our tee time was taken by someone else. Our friends tee time was 1/2 an hour later than they booked. A phone call to let us know would have been appreciated. Pace of play was slow, and there was no Marshall to monitor the playing. The deal was good, but I wouldn’t rush back there.

2nd time around

This was the 2nd time on the course. And it's now it's in my top 5. A challenging course for sure especially when a resident plays fetch in the middle of the fairway of the 11th hole . Yikes . All in all great staff and great time.
