Great course and great value and great customer service!

From start to finish, our day was great. From the bag drop to the reception desk to the starter to the marshall to the halfway house, everyone was friendly and helpful.
We played in about 4 hours and enjoyed the course. We were paired up with Steve and Paul, who were a blast to play with. Just a great day all around.

Improved

If you spray the ball it's a great course...no water on it so it's hard to lose a ball. Pace of play just under 4 hours. Nice greens and over seeded fairways make this a good value course. They're doing a good job.

The course was pretty good overall.

The scorecard distances were way off from the actual distances causing some awkward moments when we hit into the group in front of us. Course conditions were average, though greens were firm and didn’t receive our approach shots without unexpected rollouts. Snack bar, pro shop and on course personnel were above average. Finished in a couple of minutes over four hours. I would play the course again.

Pair up with who they say

I was playing as a single and paired up with a beginner golfer. The will make you ride with who they say. You have no say so you paid over a hundred bucks to play with a golfer who is nice but hasn’t learned to hit a ball yet. So my advice is to only play this course as a 4 some. They are not that nice about pairing you either kind of like a drill sergeant that you pay to abuse you

Dissappointed

I was scheduled to play the course with a foursome on 2/27 but unfortunately I tore my meniscus the day before playing on another course… I called HR in the morning and told them what happened and the pro shop folded no worries…
Unfortunately HR thru Golf Now charged me the total cost for the foursome($400), I don’t believe that to be fair, it was not my plan to get injured we reallly wanted to play the course…
I tried to contact the GM of HR(Donnie) but to no avail, I called him and emailed him and he didn’t respond to either, not cool !
It’s just not right to be charged the full price for a foursome, I can understand a smaller cancellation fee but not full price, totally unfair !!

Nice course in heart of Davenport

Played mid afternoon and while the course was full play moved along at a good pace, we finished 18 in four hours on the dot. The greens were in good shape, fairways were decent but tee boxes were pretty beat up. I enjoyed the layout with the challenge being the rolling terrain since there is no real water anywhere on course after #1.

I’d play there again.

Course is in good shape

Played in exactly 4 hours and 4 minutes...in a 4some playing 3 different tees. Rangers are active and help keep play moving.

Course is in good shape. The rye overseed produced solid fairway lies and consist lies around the green. The greens are good but they mark up with spike marks really easily. Not the course's fault, but most putts requires multiple tap downs of spike marks. People just don't know how to walk these days.

Course is managed well and the staff are friendly.

Course was dry but ok
They should have turned on the sprinklers to get water on course
I was told courses make about 70% of their revenue while the snow birds are down here but they don’t water very well
Why not?
