Well maintained course

Not the most trying GC in the area, but nicely maintained. The staff is very friendly and they offer a well stocked pro shop. Like most courses in the area, the traps/bunkers are in need of a major sand injection. I saw one that it looks like they are in the process of filling in. We played a day after a major rain storm (about 4.5") and while there was some standing water on a few holes, the drainage seemed adequate.

Terrible greens and pace of play

Always nice to get a last minute tee time but greens are not made for putting and my round lasted nearly 5 hours. Everyday is a great day on the golf course just manage your expectations on this one.

Not what we expected

Course conditions were not what we had experienced in the past.
In particular the greens.

Greens are horrendously in bad shape. Very bumpy! Dry areas. Sand trap bad shape too!

Overbooked!

No real starter. Completely overbooked. Had a tee time for 1203 and the 1154 group said we could go first. Get to the first tee and it's 4 groups still waiting to tee off with a 5some in front of us. Didn't get off the course until 545. Waited 10 to 15 mins EACH shot. If you play here know that your tee time doesn't mean squat.. I'll never play here again. Longest round of my life at 5200 yrd par 70. Unbelievable

Aeration nightmare

It would have been nice to know when booking that the greens and fairways had been aerated. there are plenty of courses in the area that you can maneuver around when courses are aerating.
