Pace of Play

This course has done nothing to alleviate the pace of play issue. Course is not worth 80 dollars to spend 5 hours to play golf. Pay a little more and go somewhere else. Greens are mediocre at best and fairways are bare. Had multiple bad/barren lies from the fairway. #9 green was littered with debris from the tree next to it. Tee boxes are barren and filled with divots. Overall not a great golf experience.

You need to stop here.

Staff were very friendly. Course was in good shape. Greens rolled well. Very reasonable green fees for what you get. Will definitely go back. If there was one negative is the course was very wet despite not having rain for several days.

Nice track

Pretty nice condition with some really interesting holes. Everything was green and well kept with closely mown boxes and fairways. Greens were in really good shape but a little on the slow side, around 7 speed. Really good value for this area. Highly recommended.

Golf review

Tight course and small greens. Corse was in great condition. It was wet and tight lies. Only negative is when you leave clubhouse you don’t see it again until done. Half way house was closed and beer cart didn’t come until 15 hole.

We are snowbirds and always play this course every year. It's friendly, usually in good shape and has some challenging holes.

Course was very nice and staff were very professional.

Course was very nice and staff was professional. Didn’t allow any outside alcohol and seems pretty strict on that. The only odd part of the course is you have to use different carts to go to warm up. This seemed odd to have to move your bag or only take a select clubs and leave stuff I might need. Everything else about the course was fantastic.
