Disappointed

I played this course before and never experienced this situation before. To begin with the course was aerated the green played slow. The ranger on the corse was rude and unprofessional after I spoke with him regarding the foursome in front of me taking to much time and each player was playing 2 balls and chatting. And there were no other group in front of them. I asked the ranger if my twosome can play ahead he said no and the group can play 2 balls. It took 5.5 hours to finish 18 holes a very frustrating situation. And we never saw the ranger again!

Course was in terrible shape.

Not worth the money. No breakfast or coffee available for a morning tee time. Would not go back. Clubhouse staff was friendly. No ranger on the course in the afternoon. Five plus hour round in the afternoon. No grass in the fairways or tees.

These greens man

Just brutal pin positions on hard slopes. Very challenging but greens and pin positions seem gimmicky.

Very challenging course

I read reviews before playing about rude staff well they must not be there now they were all super friendly and accommodating. The course is not long but don’t let that fool you it is very tight in places and the greens which were receptive were the fastest I have ever played. If you have not played in a while do not come here it will eat you alive. This is a must play for any skilled golfer very fun course.
