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.

Pleasant experience

I played with a couple in twilight during a weekday. The Resort course was well maintained for the most part. Fairways and rough were in great shape. The greens were a little slow with very short grass and seemed to be too thin. Pace was great since no one was in front of us. The cart didn’t have GPS so bring your own. One of the marshals told us that two guys took off with the cart assigned to them and never came back. Overall a very good course to play. I will come back for sure if there is an opportunity.

Twilight Golf

Played on a twilight rate and had a great experience. Pro shop staff were great and we all had a good warm-up on the practice range. Course was in great shape except for the greens being a bit slow with the recent over seeding. The layout is really good and pleasing to the eye on almost every hole.

We played 14 holes and then called it a day.

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.
