Pleasant second round

Played here three years ago in early March. Fairways were a little thin. This round, even though we’re in the middle of winter seemed better. Overall worth the trip. Looking forward to coming again in April/ May.

Excellent Course

I’m sure playing in the early afternoon on a Monday helped the pace of play but this course is awesome. Also ends with a bang or should I say splash on 18

Great course for the price

Can’t beat sleepy hole for the money. Sand traps are great, greens are great, and it’s just a really fun layout. Can be very slow on weekends as any course can reall.

Gorgeous course with no one out there with us for a discounted price

It was amazing. We got out there early and had a good discount for during the week. Greens were being aerated but still very enjoyable.

First Time Playing
Perfect weather
Used cart

First time playing here. Was cart path only due to the rain but no big deal. Course plays long for inexperienced golfers, for sure one of the more challenging courses in the area.

My only complaint on the day is the greens were inconsistent. They were aerated recently and very sandy, some greens were fast, some were slow. I would be more annoyed with this if we didn't get a good deal on golf now for our round.

Pace of play was decent considering it was cart path only, took just under 5 hours for the round. We only waited on 3-4 Tee boxes for a few minutes, on the front 9.

Overall for the time of year the course was in a good shape, and was a challenge for a rather new golfer like myself, I played with 3 others that are all 80's shooters and they had similar thoughts.

The staff was really nice, and the ham sandwich was delicious.

That View

Pace of played was horrible due to the slow as snails 4 some in front of our group. They were on the 10th tee box when we started the 9th and didn't leave untill we arrived on the 10th tee box. On the up side you can't beat the view on 18 tee box looking at the hole. I will continue to play if the price is right.
