Course for everyone

This course is very playable for all abilities. Overseeding has been done and fairways are still growing in. Tight and sparse in some places. Greens have been over seeded also and were very hairy and slow! Extremely slow but they do roll true. For the price I would play here again. Good layout.

Disrupted Round and Poor Management Response

We recently played this course and were disappointed with our experience. During our round, PGA staff were taking measurements throughout the course and were constantly in our way. On the first hole, we were assured that we would barely notice them, but they were around us the entire time. When we raised this issue with the clubhouse, we were informed that no manager was available. We were promised a callback, but that never happened.

Poor greens

Greens were poor. Not grown in well and bumpy. Fairways were also poor. Needed more water to get the grass thicker. The ball often laid on the bare ground. Will not go back in these conditions

Speed of play of “wanna be” players.

Recommend - No “tournament practice rounds”allowed during public play times. Mixing regular single shot players with wanna be pros playing multiple shots per hole is a bad idea and should not be permitted. Club was sympathetic of this situation this week upon challenging them to refund. But the day was spoiled by selfish wanna be players. Understand if the course closes pre tournament for aspiring players. Just don’t surprise us regular players with such slow playing practices. Thanks.

We had a 2:50 Tee Time

2:50 is just too late to play even 11 holes. This was November and Daylight Savings Time so it was too dark to play around 4:50. Our problem for choosing that time………..

Driving range tee box area is 95% dirt. Very disappointing.
