Expensive for the experience

This is a muni course wirh a terrible driving range. Dirt for the tee boxes, not maintained and too small. Had to wait to get a spot because without a net- stray balls would go on the road, so reduced number of spots. OZk practise area for Chipping incl a bunker. Staff was not particularly friendly. Had to ask about the driving range and pay extra for warm up balls. Greens were furry. Dog poo near a tee box on Resort course. Sharing sone paths with cyclists. Charging $125??? Crazy. Not likely to come back.

Expensive

We played in the PM for a better rate. Nice course but not worth all that cash. Other courses are better value.

Pace of Play Issue

Over a good course to play for the hot deal price but marshals need to push pace of play to closer to 4 hours. 4:40 is just too long

Good Course - Bad time to play

First time playing this course. Fun Layout. Im sure if I played in mid to late November the course would have been awesome. But the course was in the final stages of being overseeded and the greens were really slow and needed a few more weeks to grow in. I played three courses this weekend an they all had poor playing conditions compared to when i have been out there at other times of the year.

Memorable

First time playing the course and it lived up to the hype. Super pretty and lush. Pay attention to the GPS as there is water on the back in places you cannot see with the naked eye. I see why people come back and play this course over and over again.

Beautiful Course

Beautiful course with only construction of a water-park (or something else?) taking away from ambiance. However, overall still a very nice course. Rental clubs were new. Nice practice range setup. Hard to find a negative about this course. I will play here again in the future. Perfect weather conditions on the day I played (sunny with temperatures 59-72 and a 5 mph wind!).

Just finished Over Seed

Greens were very slow and bumpy. I’m sure it plays better under normal conditions.
