Challenging Course in great shape

Played in late November.... course was in great shape. They cleared all the leaves and the greens were in good shape. The course offer a number of challenging holes.. tree line fairways, sloping uphill greens and hazards in strategic locations. Pace was pretty good. This is the type of course you have to pick your fairway target in order to score well.

This is a great course. Pace of play both times I’ve played are brutally slow. Tough putting because the greens are hilly but definitely a fun challenge.

Pretty nice course but slightly overpriced

The staff were very friendly and they have a nice club house but probably have room for more product sales.
The course is challenging and you will need your whole bag.

Slow Play and Course is not as good ad before

There were brown spots on the greens but they rolled ok but not as fast as usual. Perhaps not cut recently. Overall, the course is not as pristine as it was earlier in the year. Perhaps due to lack of rain.

However, they do need rangers. There was 4-some walking that are beginners!! Twosome before use was hitting multiple balls and generally taking their time over everything even when the course is open in front of them for five minutes.

Called the pro shop. They did not send out anyone.

Irrigation system is fixed

I understand the irrigation system was down for 2 weeks during the last hot / dry spell. Some areas were burned out and the greens were slower than normal as a result. Things should be back to normal by mid July.

Greens in good shape but too slanted

Very nice course layout, in good condition. Only problem were the greens. Although in good condition, they were too slanted. A put uphill, if missed, may roll all the way back to where it started...even further.

Surprising Gem

Don’t let the odd checkin set up, or ProShop/Snack Bar put you off, it’s a pretty neat course.
2 very different 9’s, especially the greens.
Bunkers seem to be in transition and under a degree of renovation.
Good fairways
Greens role tru. Front 9 greens run slower, but largely due to Severe Back to Front sloping.
Pace was excellent, but beware of 9-Holers, slowing the front and then departing , our back nine was 90 minutes, which made up for the 2hr 17 min front nine.
I’ll be back
