Love it
Great public course but needs to work on pace of play. No starter, no ranger equals slow play.
Great value
I and a group of my friends recently became members. The course is in great condition and the staff is super friendly.
Good weather, Good course
Would rate 4.5 on some items. Greens great condition but fast. Even fringe around greens looks good. Fairways in good condition with good lies for your ball.
Probably best shape we’ve seen course overall. Carts w/ gps helpful. Look forward to going back.
Worth the drive!
The course was in great shape. Greens were fast and difficult to read at times. Secondary cut will swallow a ball and become hard to find.. or hit.
A very challenging layout. New carts with GPS and a friendly staff keep me coming back!
Great Course
Pro shop staff were great and course was in great shape. Fairways were plush and greens were fast and putted great. The only issue was the greens were hard and approach shots would hit and run off the green.
Solid value
Great course for the money! Practice area/range is very good. New greens this year and they play very fast. Excellent scoring opportunities based on tee selection. Super friendly staff. Highly recommend!
Hard greens
Course was in great shape, the greens are still very hard. It was a pleasant day and we played in under four hours with many groups in front of us.
Greens
Considering the miserable heat, the greens were top notch. Fairways soft, and tee boxes alive and green. Great time overall. Beautiful shape
Solid Round
Great staff and solid conditions given that there has been no rain in weeks. Many greens were so hard you couldn’t hold them. Front nine is more enjoyable than the back from a setup standpoint.
Pace of Play
The course was in good shape and the work on the new greens has paid off. The biggest turnoff is the pace of play. There was no marshall or ranger to move people along. We were supposed to tee off at 10:30 a.m., but we did not tee off until 10:45. It also was close to being a five-hour round. On one hole, the group in front of us was just talking back and forth to each other, with no one hitting their ball, which lasted about 5 minutes.
