Great course

Shot my best ever front 9 here yesterday! I love this mostly link style course. It is always in great shape and even though we had to wait on some shots we still finished in just over 4 hours. The greens are tough but fun, there are some long holes but overall a great place. They don't have a driving range so warm up before you get there. As for food and drinks I haven't spent anytime after my round so I can't speak to that. All of the employees are always friendly. Go out and enjoy your round.

Great course!

I have played this course many times before. Each hole has its own challenges, very fair course though. The course itself was in excellent condition. We waited on a few holes, however we played in just under 4 hours. So we were playing fast. I did see a ranger out on the course keeping the pace moving. Overall a great experience.

Unbelievably SLOW

I went out with 3 friends on a Saturday at Noon. The play was so slow we ended up playing the front 9 twice in order to get our round in. The first 9 took 2.5 hours!!! I understand that it was a beautiful day, but it was brutal. I do like this course I just wish the pace of play was better. I will probably try the course again next year as this season is winding down. I really like the back 9 and was disappointed that I was not able to play the back. The starter was very friendly and I am not sure that a ranger would have helped.

Great Course

I had heard how challenging this course was. I decided to go play it anyway. It looked like it was going to rain and that kept the crowds down. I got out there and it was a very fun, challenging course. I scored pretty well for me and was happy. The fairways were very nice and the greens were pretty fast. I would play here again in a heart beat. There is water on 16 of the holes or something like that. The only issue I had, which was taken care of very well, was that we teed off at 9:36 and were told at 12:40 that we had to be off the course at 1:00. There was a high school tournament that was an 18 hole shotgun start. I wish they would have told us this as we were checking in, but again we were given a rain check for 9 holes. The customer service alone would bring me back to this course.

Course looks great

We played around 3 on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. It was a 4.5 hour round. There were two 2 somes that should have been paired together in front of us as we had to wait on them the entire front 9. The fairways were in great shape, what wasn't was under construction and looks like it will be nice shortly. My biggest problem were the greens. The looked good except for the unfixed ball marks (not the courses fault but players who don't repair) but for some reason the green were extremely bumpy. You could hit a perfectly lined up putt and it would bounce 5 times before it came close to the cup. It was almost like they were not rolled in months. I would play here again as long as the greens were in better shape. I hope they get the greens figured out because I really like this course.

Great Course, Great Customer Service

My wife and I went to play on Saturday. It had rained all day and we decided to go anyway. We got there about 4:45 and went to check in. We thought that we had a 5:00 Tee Time paid for (I booked the wrong date) However Derek at the pro shop was extremely helpful and worked with me. With there being no sun we only got 12 holes in. The course was in great shape (even with all the rain) and the greens were also in great shape. My wife and I will be back for the original tee time I booked. I am excited to play this course and was very happy with the customer service as well!

Good value for the money

I have played this course 4 or 5 times. Today was a great day. Check in was pleasant. We teed off a little before our tee time. The pace of play today was great! I think it had to do with it being so hot. It is usually a lot busier and pace of play is slower on the weekends (which is to be expected with the rates you can get). Overall the course was in really good shape. There was a few spots on the fairways that were being worked on but nothing that would hurt your game. The greens were in good shape as well, I wish more players would fix their ball marks in the greens though. I enjoy this course and typically can find a great rate.

Good Course

I played yesterday at 2 pm. I enjoyed the course. I am an beginner and there were a couple holes that were pretty challenging with the trees on one side. Overall I was happy and would play this course again. Greens were fast and a little tough to read for a beginner.
