Great course, terrible staff

The lady at the front desk was rude due to a mixup in tee-times on their end. Our group was just happy to hit the course but this employee put us off to a bad start. Love the course, but staff could use improvement.

Very bad Fairways

Lots of dead grass spots all over the fairways. Guess that's why price was so low. Pace of play on front was fast, ran into horrible backup on back 9. No starter managing pace. Unplayable pace, 2 some, 4 some, 3 some, 4 some. Bunch of hackers slowing my rhythm down. I don't like waiting in between shots. Player look for lost balls forever or take forever to chip and putt.

Layout great, but burned out

This course can challenging and fun to play, however the current course conditions, especially the fairways and rough are in bad shape. You can’t tell the fairway from the rough much of the time. The fairways looked to be burned out or diseased. Sand traps were mostly ok, with a few more rocky and another with standing water. I’m hoping that the course can be restored.

Challenging course in average condition

Greens were in good shape but fairways must be diseased as they are mostly brown. Hope they get them back in good condition.

Slow play...no ranger

Great price on golfnow...unfortunately two groups ahead that did not know how to pick up their ball after 20 strokes...and no one to guide them to let faster players play through. Nice people at clubhouse and course was in good shape. Just no course supervision which put a damper on our experience.

Nice course but short staffed

Course parking lot was full but was able to tee off 15 minutes early. That was a plus. The problem was golf carts were not fully charged and had to switch carts at the turn and then had to call for a new charged cart on the 16th hole. So needed three different carts to play 18 holes of golf. Also, pushing carts up hill is not my idea of an enjoyable Sunday of golf. I will say that when I mentioned this to the nice lady at the register she was sympathetic and so I got two golf vouchers to make up for the inconvenience. We will be back to play this course because I like the layout but I certainly hope they hire some dependable help.
