I Recommend This Course
The course was in great shape the fairways were perfect and the bunkers were very well maintained.
The course itself there are no complaints about, the pace of play was absolutely horrible however. It took my son and I an hour and ten minutes to play 4 holes. They were 4 groups of 4 in front of us and they would not let anyone play through. I talked to the course manager about it and he assured me that they would not let this happen again. It was our first time playing here and it leaves us a little leary about going back as it is over an hour away from our house. If you live close though you should not be disappointed by this course.
