very nice course

Beautiful views, and course layout, it was just aerated, so the greens we're not so great. I had fun, and I saw the challenging holes but I like how it played and I will definitely come again.

The place needs some work.

I like this course but I really think it needs to improve the playing conditions. Way too many craggy spots. The conditions of the bunkers are terrible. Hardly any sand at the bottom of the traps. Felt like I was hitting off of a dirt road. It won't take much to get the course back to where it should be, it's just not nearly there right now. This course has so much potential if the ownership and management are committed to a higher standard.

Great experience!

Well manicured.
Had to deal with some sand on the green, but that did not make my experience less enjoyable.

Super slow:6 hours

The marshal did nothing to oversee the pace of play as groups stacked up behind a slow group
