Worth it!

Beautiful course and not crowded. We were able to play quickly without waiting on people ahead of us. There are some tough hazards off the tee box so make sure you can drive the ball over water and other hazards. Greens are not overly difficult. Very well-kept course.

Great round

Great track and course is always fun. Greens punched a couple of weeks before so greens did not roll well, course is always solid but green fee was too high for the condition this time.

Nice Course

Nice layout with some good holes. Condition of the tees was poor. Greens were slow and inconsistent. Fairways were very good.

Pace of play was slow - took over 4.5 hours.

Really good practice facilities.

Friendly staff.

Great course, pace of play unacceptable

Waited on every hole from 3 on. Some times as much at 10 minutes. Well over 5 hours.

Beautiful course with great layout

To start out this course was absolutely beautiful from the moment I pulled up. The staff picked me up took me to the door strapped in the clubs. Got us rolling with a very quick start. I did read that they were doing work, but was unaware of the green Work, the course was in beautiful shape except for the greens. The greens had a large amount of sand on them which I do understand maintenance but this did affect the ability of reading green and playing greens. Overall, this course is beautiful. We will definitely be back.

Not up to the usual standard

I’ve been playing this course for several years now and in the past it has been in great shape. This year the course has more damage to its fairways and tee boxes than I’ve ever seen in the 6 years I’ve been playing there. I hope they get it under control and back to the pristine condition it deserves. I’m not saying it terrible just saying it’s not up to par.
