Pace of play was terrible.

So we have played here before and have always loved it. Course is usually in great condition and quite challenging, on several holes especially. {I have not been back in a few years and ins that time they have closed down the easier Legends course which was disappointing since we preferred that course. We were scheduled to tee off at 9:10 and ended up teeing off at about 9:20. There was no starter to be found, so it was no surprise to find that the twosome in front of us was constantly waiting for the fivesome in front of them. We finished our round in about 5 hours and 35 minutes. Our cart said pace of play should be 4 hours and 19 minutes. No marshal ever came along to speed things up. The twosome in front of us was in cargo shorts and t-shirts and played like they may have played once before, literally hitting each shot from the BLACKS and not even getting it passed the reds. A marshal would have been nice to say something as you never want to be the jerk who says, hey you might want to play from the whites". The last time I was here the course was definitely better maintained. I had several shots I had to play out of dirt patches There wasn't even any sand and seed on the carts to fill divots. Greens were painfully slow. Also last time we came there was ice and complimentary water in the cart ice chest. I am willing to give them another chance as the price was great for a Saturday ($56) and it is a nice course in general.

Great course,off day!

Always Love this golf venue, but due to the absence of a marshall, a foursome of inconsiderates four wholes in front held everyone up, stacked 6 carts deep on each whole. We finished the 11th at 3hrs and 5 mins, at which tiime I had to leave. But i will return to my favorite course the first free day I get!

Too bad the staff made it miserable

The course is ok becasue of a few gimmicky holes. I might have given this course a better rating but the staff, i interacted with, were jerks. We paid to play but it felt like we were unwanted guests. The range is only like 200 yards off mats, so no woods allowed. The greens are slow. There is no cell service at the course and you don't pass the clubhouse at any point after 1, but there is nothing out on the course to purchase. A soda machine on 10 but it was empty and no cart selling drinks or snacks. Wouldn't have been so bad had we been given any info at all. After a 3 day buddies trip bad way to end it.

Course is tougher than it’s rating.

I’ve played this course more times than I can remember. It plays way tougher than its rating. It is long and layout is no joke. It is in great shape and only getting better. Unfortunately when I played it, the greens had been sanded and when I booked it i wasn’t made aware of this. Greens were slow and so sandy and wet. Would have been nice to know. Was disappointed. But this is a great course.

Didn’t get to finish

5.5 hours and didn’t even get close to finishing. Barely made it to 14. I’ve played this course probably 25 times and it’s typically not an issue. It was so over packed some holes you would get to the tee box and have a four some on the tee and a four some waiting ahead of your group. It was bad.
