Pace

So slow, and we even called the martial. Still the same. I started at 2:06, and ended up leaving after 16 holes which was at 6:30

Rough too thick

Several great drives just off the fairway and lost the balls in the extremely long rough - unless you were right on top of your ball it was gone. And when i was lucky enough to find it, the thickness of the grass drastically altered the power of the shot. Definitely needs to be shorter.

Slow pace of play

The last few times I've played here during the week, the pace of play has been slow. It's been an average of 4.5 hour round each time on a weekday. I've seen the marshal drive around but it doesn't move anything. Tee times should be spaced out a little bit more than 10 mins. now that the sport has grown tremendously the last couple years. But I guess, all they care about is the money. I really like this course but I won't be playing here for a while.

Great deal but slow pace

Great deal but slow pace of play. Lots of walkers that should use a cart.

Greens were nice.

If you are a 20 handicap or less you should play from the blacks.

Good not Great

I was happy with the course! Played it with a beginner friend and we both had a really good time!

The greens were fast and the fairways were in good shape!

The green-side fringe was my biggest area for improvement. Rough crab grass really made good shots feel detrimental and nearly impossible to chip from on a few holes. Then again - we should hit the green and not have this issue.

Great shape

Course was in great shape this early in the year. Even though the rough was cut, it is still thick/dense so it will grab our club. Fairways, sand, and greens were very nice, A couple tee boxes need help!
