Love this course

The conditions were a little wet from watering. Greens are gorgeous, I just wish players would FIX THEIR BALL MARKS. A properly repaired ball mark heals quickly and makes putting a whle lot better. It literally takes 5 seconds.

Great layout, mediocre conditions

Nice layout, a little bit of everything. Good level of difficulty.

Bunker conditions were poor. Greens on the slow side and bumpy. Good value with a deal from TeeOff.

Greenhorn

Green are patchy with poa and slow. Green and bunker surrounds are full of weeds. There is a lot of deferred maintenance. Tee boxes are beat to death and anything but level.

Pace of play

Atrocious! Over 5 hours. 10 minute wait on every tee. Worse on par 3s.

Extremely slow pace from the start….

A great course and piece of nature unfortunately overshadowed by the lack of management of pace on the course. After my tee off at #1 it was backed up and I found myself waiting behind (2) groups of 4. Being frustrated with the pace, I chose to only golf 9 holes since it took a very long time at that point. Before leaving, I seen a large group finishing up on the 18th green, a group of 9!!!!! No wonder play was at a snails pace.

Next time I look to get away, Greenhorn will not be in the mix of choices, unfortunately since it is a nice course.

Starters needed. Marshall would be nice also...

Members tee off ahead of their tee time leaving you a single stuck between 2 groups of bad golfers waiting on every hole. It is common for me to skip the tenth as you will find by doing that then purse opens up. I come back around to play it after 18.

People teeing off ten minutes before their tee time drive me nuts! So selfish! Pro shop says "be there five minutes before your time as you are paired up". I'm there 10 minutes before and waiting for the pair up. Apparently they were going off early and didn't ask about the player to join where they were told.

Fix the tee boxes please. It is really an easy task.

Excellent fairways and greens

Great course with narrow fairways and large oak trees galore. Slopes are tricky, and we heard many balls bouncing off the homes flanking the fairways. Our group found a couple of houses to hit inadvertently. Scenery and vibe is chill. Well designed and maintained course. We'll be back.

Course was in decent shape. Pace of play was a little slow. It is still one of my favorite courses.

AERATION ALERT!!!

Did not know the course had been aerated. Would have gone elsewhere, as a course that aerates should shut down for a month until conditions improve. You cannot play the greens, so 1/4 of the course is unplayable.
