It was ok

For the price I expected the course to be in much better condition. The greens were pretty average. It was a nice location and I played with a great bunch of guys. I wouldn’t play again for the price and condition of the course.

Poor weather diminished the experience.

Played the course while on a trip with family. Our experienced unfortunately could have been better if we wouldn’t have been racing against incoming storms. Very windy and wet conditions throughout the morning.

Course late out was good, staff was very polite, not sure the overall experience was worth the price.

Would I play it again?

Good fun course

Course was still coming out of its dormant state it seemed (60% green spring grass) but conditions were good from tee to green. Greens were quick. Entire course is well maintained, carts are great, staff was great. Course design is good not great but fun to play

Winter Conditions?

First time playing the course but was disappointed with the conditions. Tee boxes were essentially dirt and greens were not great. Dont know if that is a function of the types of grass they use or something else. The bunkers are really good but rest left me wanting.

Unfriendly staff and Bad Management

This was the second Day in a row I played this course. The staff were even more unfriendly, and the clubhouse charged me $100 to slide up 5 tee times. They then added a player who originally paid $100 for his round to our group after I paid $100 to move my father and my tee times up.

They don’t answer their phones, they don’t understand how to work with the guests. The members are rude and make you feel unwanted.

I would pay $50 to play here at most and don’t want expect amy sympathy from their staff.

0/5 pace of play and the Marshalls won’t help out.

2some after 2some

They also send foursomes off the back in front of you when making the turn!!

Look elsewhere. I am sad I waisted two beautiful days of golf with my father.
