Nice course - slow play

The course is pretty and in good shape. But even on a Mid-morning Wednesday when the tee time sheet was not full, the play was slow. There were a lot of foursomes of old men who just move slow and take their good sweet time with no regards to pace of play. Even though we skipped the tenth hole at the turn to get in front of a couple of groups, we still had over a 5 hour round.

Perfect day to play golf

The course is challenging but fun to play. Lots of hills, slopes, water, trees and rough. The course was not maintained as well as I remember in the past but that's probably due to staffing and increase in supply/gas issues. The staff was very friendly and easy going. The carts are nearing their end of life and do not have GPS. But the environment is scenic with lots of wildlife. It was not very crowded and the tee time special made it very affordable.

You mention the affordable special while knocking the crew for the conditions with one of the few negative comments about their work. Thanks.

The greens were in pretty good shape and were fast but the rest of the course was a little rough. The layout was ok but the maintenance was a little lacking. Lots of planes flying overhead. Its in an older development near the wash. Some homeless people nearby the bridges/roads.

A little disappointing

The weather was great and course layout was fine. Many of the fairway bunkers were in horrible shape with weeds, brush and standing water in them. The tee boxes were ok and even though the greens seemed to hold well they were inconsistent. The fringe around the greens was poor with clumps of new grass making the ball bounce around if you tried to putt through it. The fairways were a mixture of dormant and new patches of grass and even if you were in the middle of the fairway there was no guarantee of a good lie. Overall, a disappointing round.

Lots of potential but................

The course's land and scenery were great, however, the course was not in very good shape. Many tee boxes were torn up. The greens had numerous ball marks and other damage. The carts have some kind of monitoring device which shuts off the cart if you go someplace it does not want you to go, but there is no signage or any other means to tell where not to go. The course had not been mowed very recently so the rough (and even the fairways) were pretty tall. Course maintenance seems to be lacking.

Very Slow

I drove down from the LA area to avoid the crowds on a Saturday. When I arrived there were four guys complaining about pace of play and arguing with the front desk. My tee time was 12:16 so all the early birds and leagues should have been finished so I figured I had escaped the rush, but to my surprise the place was packed with foursomes of poor quality golfers. It took two and a half hours (2.5 hrs) to play 7 holes and when we looked at the 8th and 9th holes it became obvious that this was going to be a 6 hr + round. We thought about trying to get our money back but just decided we will never play this course again. In addition the course is really not in that good of shape. Good luck everyone.

Course Maintenance

They were re-sodding the 3rd, 6th and 9th hole tee boxes which was irritating. The greens were pretty slow and people just don't repair their ball marks. I'm glad I didn't pay the regular course rate or I would have been very disappointed. One a good note, they have the best portapotties I've ever seen.

Good golf now price but....

The course was not in that good of shape the greens were erratic - maybe they had been aerated and sanded but was tough to tell, and the tee boxes were fuzzy and unlevel. The Golf Now price seemed like a good deal but I wouldn't pay regular rates.

Fast Greens

The course was green (even the rough) and in good shape. The greens were pretty fast ( claimed to be 11 on stimp meter) but people just seem to have trouble fixing thier ball marks. I especially enjoyed the complimentary driving range for warm up. It was a perfect course for my wife and I as it was not difficult but presented itself nicely. I will definitely try to play here again.

Slowest Play Ever

The restaurant and facilities were very accomodating but when it finally came time to play golf, they just keep letting 5-somes on the course as fast as they can. They try to maximize their revenue at the expense of pace of play and golfing enjoyment. It took us nearly 4 hours to play 12 holes. When we got to the 13th hole there was a group on the green, a group waiting to hit from the fairway, a group on the tee and then us. I should have gone back to the clubhouse and demanded some money back, but we just left in disgust - never to return again. I know they don't care since there are just so many people and not enough decent golf courses so I'm sure nothing will change.
