Nice resort course, groundskeepers rude

Played this course and the Valley course several times this trip. Both courses are maintained in good shape. The staff is friendly and proficient at keeping pace of play good. There is fruit available at the starters and a players attendant brings some around. There are many places to get water as well as a beverage cart. My only issue in all my rounds were the groundskeepers mowing right through a players swing. This happened enough times that it’s not an isolated keeper.

Nice course, pleasant staff, Greens starting to have issues

Staff was very nice, from the cart attendant to the pro shop staff. Fairways are generous and like a carpet. The greens look like they are starting to be impacted by a fungus or something else, some areas are getting sparse, I suspect the unusual amount of rain this winter. This happens and I would guess once the sun heats things up it wil recover nicely. I would definitely play this course again.

Nice course for price, but played 2 days and both were 5 hour rounds

Course is nicely laid out, not many hazards. fairways are generally wide. Many areas are under repair or need to be, particularly directly in front of the greens. Food is available at the starters building and water is readily available on many holes. Food at the starters bldg. is pricey for what you get and the quality is poor. No cart attendant was there on the first day, but there was one on the second. On both days the play was very slow over 5 hours both days, several times the wait was 15 minutes between shots. Views on the course are very nice, lots of photo opportunities.....helps with the wait between shots.

Course had the slowest play..... Had to stop because of darkness

Was told that I had open course in front of me... As I was playing second hole the twilight league passed me to play a scramble and start on 3rd hole. I went over and they let me play through as I got to the green a twosome passed me by and went to the 4th hole tee box. When I got there there were a twosome plus the other twosome waiting to tee off with two other groups playing the hole one of them a six some . There was at least a ten minute wait for every shot. I stopped after 9 holes, as I drive back through the course to the clubhouse there were at least an additional 7 six some's over the last 9 holes. I talked with the starter who did not believe there were that many until another twosome came in describing the same issue... Will never play this course again .

Time to fix it or shut it down

Course is in the worst shape of any course I have ever played, it is a shame the course has such potential but is not maintained. The tee boxes and fairways have very sparse grass, and are not kept mowed. The bunkers do not have any visible dirt at all, I lost a ball on the first two par three's because I did not want to pursue them in the bunkers, the weeds were so high I was afraid I would not be the only living thing in there. The only redeeming thing on the course was the beverage attendant who was extremely polite and efficient. The course touts itself for having great greens....just because tehy are they only green thing out there doesn't make them great...they were also not kept mowed and played very slow.

Nice Fairways, many blind shots, Greens need work, play is slow

Course played very short, driver was needed on only a few holes. Many shots were blind, so it tended to be very slow getting around and no one lets anybody play through. Fairways looked very nice however were wet so there was no roll. Greens had many bare spots, but rolled well....faster than you'd think looking at them. We did have an issue with the cart attendants when I walked up, their languge was inappropiate, I made a comment to them and they stopped, however when my wife came up a few minutes later they were back at it. We mentioned this to the manager and when we went outside the attendants and their supervisor came over and apologized.

Good course, Fairways sparse, Greens rolled well

Nice course visually however several fairways were very sparse, discussed with staff, reason is large quanity of rain without sufficient heat. individual stated that the fairways had been improving over the past few week. There were many workers observed on the course. Greens rolled very well, speed is moderate.

Great layout challenging greens

AQccuracy is key when approaching the greens, narrowly missing will result in extra strokes. Green are quick and have plenty of movement.

Course plays very long from the blue tees

Be prepared for long drives and long approach shots. The course has a nice layout with some great scenic views, especially in the fall. Green speed is moderate with some movemnt.
