Everything great except the greens

Beautiful layout. Good fairways. Real rough. Fantastic clubhouse and restaurant.

Negatives: Greens were bad. Super spongy. Super slow and most greens have lost at least 30% of surface area due to disease or fungus. If they get that cleared up, the value was fantastic.

Greens need some help

Fairways and most tee boxes were in great shape! Wildlife was out and about. The greens were in pretty bad shape. Lots of dead grass and sprouts of other grasses making them very bumpy and slow. The greens on 16-18 were the best on the course.

Great layout, Poor Greens

Play here very often. Love the course layout. Very challenging. Conditions of fairways are awesome. Greens have been plugged and sanded which makes them worst than normal, and there normal green conditions are not good at all most of the time. Tee boxes are not the greatest either. I would actually become a member if they would re-surface the greens and tee boxes.

Green's

The course is in good shape always enjoyed playing here but there are some greens that has some bad spots. But I'm sure the club is addressing this problem and will soon have them back in great shape.

Great round

Totally enjoyed the round of golf today. Pro shop staff was fantastic and very professional. Always a pleasure to check in. Course was in great condition. Only drawback was trying to get service in the Restaurant. Several times had issues with getting a server to take our order. When we did order it took 40 minutes to receive our food. But Food was great. All in all besides the restaurant service it was a pleasant experience.

Overall good, greens could be better!

The course is generally in good condition. Some of the tee boxes are in poor condition and some of the greens have dead spots while others are immaculate.

Fairways and bunkers are in good condition. Staff is friendly as always, carts are always clean.

Great Course

First time playing this course, one of the best in the area. The eagle tee boxes were a little sandy on a few holes, greens & fairways were all in great shape.

Margaritas in the turn were good.

If you look in the woods to the right of each tee box, you'll find my golf balls.

I plan to return :)

Loved it

No complaints here. Course was in great condition, greens were as well but a bit slow for spring. Course layout was okay, a few holes where you’ve got some thinking to do. I love when it’s golf in its purest form, no houses around, just golf and nature.

Improve of the Greens

The greens were mowed to a point that gave them a very nice faster putting speed from a week ago.
My view the two things that make a great golf course is design an quality greens.
Both of those things are being achieved.
