Where the grass?

Course was interesting and modestly challenging with some narrow fairways. Fairways, however, had little to no grass in many places. Pace of play was good with only a few holdups.

Too much hard pan. Overall had a good round. Bar closed on Sunday seemed odd but understandable during these times. Will play it again in the future.

The guy in the pro shop needs lessons in customer service

I played this course twice. The first time the staff was rude about getting a cart 40 minutes prior to the tee time, there was nothing open to buy snacks, and just a general rude response to questions. Two weeks later I gave it another shot. I couldn’t get into the main gate. Rather than give me the code when I called, the man in the pro shop lectured me on trying to find a sign that told me what the code was. I never did see any sign with a code but, sure enough, same man as before. Still nowhere to get a cold drink or an offer to get cups of ice for water or snacks. The only pleasant person again was the starter. They need to up customer service because our foursomes all commented on their behavior.

It was 5 hours of waiting at each hole.

Will not play again at this course. No one to Marshall and the 4 some ahead of us continued to look for extra balls with no consideration for anyone else. 5 hours plus way to long for this course.

So so

This course is fun, but not up to par. Bunkers are raked dirt, grass/fairways are anemic, carts are beaten down. BUT - the starter and indoor staff are absolutely charming. Enjoyed our day, but have crossed it off our “do it again” list.

Nice Course

Overall the course was fun to play. The greens were in great shape. The fairways were a little patchy in spots. The course has several street crossings and lots of homes beside serval fairways. They were a little understaffed. They said they were out of range balls, but the retrieval machine was just parked by the range. For the price it a nice place to play.
