Greens were a beach

Might as well have been putting on the beach. No warning at booking or proshop about conditions of greens. Would have much rather gone to another local course for half the price in better condition.

Beautiful and playable course

While the weather was not cooperative, the course is extremely beautiful and playable. However, the greens were sanded and it was extremely difficult to get a real feel for the course because of this. I was unaware that the greens would be in a compromised condition. That was unfortunate. Otherwise, the staff was above and beyond helpful and the complimentary range balls are a nice touch.

Driving range

Only negative I have was the driving range was closed for renovation. Can't wait to see how the bunkers play once that renovation is completed

A walk amongst the clouds!

One of the best courses with 100 miles. Pricey! But worth it. They punched the greens so go around 5/7/24 and they will be perfect!!

6-7 hour rounds everytime.

Golf courses need to hire marshalls with a backbone and start kicking slow golfers off of their courses.

You wouldve prevented someone from getting their teeth knocked down their throat today on tge 16th tee.

Great Experience

Beautiful course! It's expensive so the pace of play was amazing as there weren't too many groups ahead. Each hole is very unique and has its challenges. You need to hit the fairway or first cut of the rough or your ball will be in PGA Tour esque calf deep rough. Didn't play as well as I would have liked, but got to experience a premier course. Will definitely be back!

Nothing to Whine about

This is a beautiful golf course. It plays narrow on the 2nd hole but the course is forgiving on a majority or holes. If there was any thing wrong it would only be that 17 and 18 finish flat compared to the elevation changes of the rest of the course. The price is high but worth it for the pace of play and condition of the course. The putting green and warm up areas are well maintained. The scenery is a feast for the eyes. The wild life adds to the overall beauty and there are plenty of birdies on this course.

Absolutely a quality course

It was cart path only and contributed to slow pace of play. Most of the bunkers are being reworked, but it is great to see the quality of care provided to the course. Staffs were very accommodating. I look forward to the next outing.
