Bargain blitz

Paid $35 for 18 and cart. A Friday round at 10 am. Took us (2) a little over 3 hrs. Some tee boxes and fairways needed help. Greens were surprising fast but inconsistent.

Slow hot deal

Our Saturday round started good, we were allowed to start 15 min early. The round took about 4 hours and 50 minutes, of which was a 25 minute wait on the last hole. Greens were slow and spongey, but consistent. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had a bad golf cart and they swapped it out in 5 minutes while we were on hole 4.

Not worth your while

Booked a Thursday round for $75 with cart. At the bag drop the assistant explained the no outside cooler ‘rule’. Then he asked us to move the vehicle due to the Restuarant. The assistant then followed me back to my car to ensure I wasn’t sneaking anything. The pro at the desk was very apologetic and gave us a small discount. ($30). The course was as empty as I have seen in years.
The course is challenging. Middle of fairway shots frequently end up in trouble. The lower course was much more accommodating.

Paid $40 for 18 and cart on a Sunday. Pace was a bit slow. Greens were inconsistent on speed. Fairways were good with some areas of construction and repair. Played peak and lake 9’s. Peak 9 was still not on my Garmin gps….could be my error…..?

Quality golf

Paid $50 for 18 and a cart. Course was in good shape. Lush fairways, green a bit slow due to just being watered. Pace was kept in check by rangers. A good value for the price.

Going down hill

Paid $40 for 18 + cart online. Course was in rough shape. Greens were bumpy and only partially grown in. Fairways were sparse and hard. Tee boxes were chunked, sparse and hard. Bunkers were like cement. Not going back here in a long time.

Great value-need a ranger.

Course was in top shape. Fairways were true and greens were quick but consistent. 5 hour round could have shorter if a ranger would have coached a few ‘wise guys’.

Bargain round

Pace of play was a bit slow (4 1/2 hrs) but they let us out early. We did not see a ranger until hole 9. Got a good discount online for 18 and cart. ($46) course was lush and greens were true.

Paid $50 for 18 & cart. Course is in the early stages of re-design. Thought the timing on this was poor, and the course didn’t put out any info at time of booking. Looks like they are doing a major re work and adding several new holes and a range. Many temp tees and greens.

Good bargain

Paid approx $30 for 18 plus cart. Some bunkers were hard paced. Course has still (same as last year) not updated the gps for the current set up. My garmin was off on 4 holes for the peak 9. We played Peak and Lake.

Slow hot deal

18 and cart paid $45….great value. Hot weather but plenty of free water and a great beverage cart. Course was in repair on almost every whole. Rangers were not pushing the slow players. Good thing they let us out early. Other than almost every bunker being closed or changed, course was in great shape.

Lack of communication

Booked a 1:15pm round on a Saturday. Got there early to see if we could get out and low and behold, they planned a tournament at 1:00. Asked if the two of us could sneak off the back to no avail. It would have been nice to know this ahead of time, like the aeration alerts. Round took over 5 hours.

Came from an hour away. Course was in great shape. Greens were just punched, but not too bad. Great GN discount. Challenging layout for a first timer. We will be back.

Soggy walk

Was informed by the pro shop and GN that carts were not allowed due to previous rains. Called GN and they gave me 2 $20 rewards. Course was very wet and hard to walk. Greens were slow due to rain, and many areas were roped off.

Below standard

Pace was 5 hours due to no ranger pushing the bad golfers hitting 3-4 balls a hole. Course was in dis-repair on many holes. Fairways were overgrown. Greens were bumpy and needed to be cut. At $50 with cart, not worth the bad clientele or long round. I played this course many times, and have never seen it this bad. I won’t be back.

Quick Saturday round

Paid $45 with cart with a discount. We arrived at 1030 for our 1100 tee. They let us out early and got done in 3 hrs and 30 min. Course had free water and beverage cart. Greens were pretty slow and in decent condition. Bunkers were hard packed and needed grooming. Old tee signs needed replaced from course redesign several years ago.

Tough greens

Paid $31 on tee-off which is outstanding. Course had some dead patches on the fairways and on some greens. Greens were slow and very hilly. Pace of play was 4 3/4 hours with an 11 am start. No rangers seen on course for help.
