Greens got me today

Have played here multiple times and always thought ti to be the jewel of the Shanty/Schuss collection of courses, but found the course conditions to be just average. The tee boxes were in need of some attention.

It was still an enjoyable round and course.

Enjoyable Sunday Morning

Fairways and greens were fine but like one of its sister courses, the tee boxes were in need of some TLC.

Welcome Addition to the Shanty / Schuss Course Collection

Played here multiple times before the course was acquired by Shanty / Schuss - we played 36 this day.

Fair but fun, the 17th par 5 is a real challenge.

Greens and fairways were great but the tee boxes were a bit overgrown and in need of some TLC.

Restaurant staff and beverage cart personnel were dealing with an out of service ice machine and had to wait on ice from the other courses created a bit of an issue with some players. Things like that can't be foreseen.

Tight but fair

Played here twice this past weekend after a 3 year hiatus.The white/silver tees on Friday (several of the players were over 65) and the white tees on Sunday (5 team 4-person scramble).

Overall the course was in fine shape, the green speed was average. The entire resort went cashless last year which was one small hurdle to address. The resort does offer reverse ATM machines in which can feed cash for a prepaid debit card you can use throughout the resort.

The beverage cart sightings were few and far between though. Other than that, no issues. We will be back.

Keep wide on all the dog legs so that you've got a shot at the green on your second shot.

Disappointed

Don’t bother with this course. Poor layout and conditions. Large dry patches.Too many nice courses in the area to play a neighborhood style course. Very disappointed

Course layout and condition was great. Tee boxes, fairway and greens well maintained. Clubhouse staff, and round starter were very congenial and cordial. Round started right on time.

Two issues with the round this day, the first being that the weather was quite warm mid- afternoon. Not being permitted to provide our own fluids on the course my group was contacted once by the beverage cart on the second hole. This didn't set well and on an above temperature day and dehydration began to set in during in the round.

Pace of play was also a bit slow ending the round @1/2 hour after the posted scheduled timeframe.

Nice Course / Need a Marshal

5 hr round. No Marshal to move the 4-some along that were causing the backup. At least 2 open holes in front of them.
