Great Course

Got through the first sloppy 9, dont get me wrong it had rained the day before, so its all good, make it a bit more challenging then normal. lol. so we stopped to get a drink and something to eat at the turn and BAM here comes the rain. the pro shop was kind enough to let us come back to play the back 9 today however on our way to go play rain started coming in.. tropical storm gordon has ruined it for us,so we're not able to play our back 9.. :((( but love the course.

Mature golf course

Bumpy Greens

Normal conditions at this course would be a little wet with good fairways and great greens. I guess due to the unusual amount or rain we are getting this year the course is wet, the rough is uncut in many places and the greens are just about shot. It looked like they were worked over and sanded but something happened to the grass because it's like rolling a ball over pockmarks. We won't be back until conditions improve.

Closed front 9.

Not only were the greens sandy and bumpy from aerating, but the front nine was closed. Had to play the back 9 twice. Would not have played there at all, had I known that.

starter problem

Ready to play 10 minutes early-no one on first hole.

Told to wait until starting time-foursome before us was 10 minutes late, but we were unable to go.

Starter thought he was a sheriff control the waiting foursome. He complained that he was now behind schedule because he forced us to wait for the late comers.

Overated Course

Purchased two foursomes for friends. The day was perfect-the course not so much. Lots of weeds and areas that need improvement. We started off 15 minutes behind schedule and waited at each hole. There had been a recent rain storm so the course was unduly wet. Overall, I would rate as average at best!

Lots of hype. Under delivered in expectations.

Started off on the first tee when the starter told us to move along that a group of employees was behind us. We were to keep our pace. So I teed off and hit the green. The group ahead of us never made it to the green. Went straight to #2. The course was in fair shape. Green were not consistent. Lots of spring projects still waiting to get finished. I will return when they have a chance to grow. Definitely need to play the back tees. Pretty short course by today’s standard.
