Great Shape

I played here very early in the morning on a Monday, teed off before 6AM, quick 9 before work, the course was in immaculate shape, greens ran smooth and true. I started off the back 9, my only complaint is that I was following the grounds crew changing the hole placement, so nearly every approach shot I had to wait for the guy to finish. If the course knew that there were people playing that early off the back 9, and I wasn't the only one out there, they should have had the crew start on the front 9. or start on 18 and work backwards so you only run into him once. Other than that great job keeping the course up.

Good time at Sanctuary

Had a very good time playing with fellow golfers. Course provided some challenges, like hole #14 where there is water on the left and a tree line on the right.

Decent track, needs to have an on course ranger

The course is not bad. It's definitely overpriced for what it is though. Its ususally overbooked and pace is usually pretty slow. I've played there for 3 years now and I've never seen a ranger on the course and/or manage the pace of play. Costs should be cheaper for a city course, tee times need to spaced out appropriately and a ranger needs to manage pace of play. If they made those changes it would really improve things.
