Tee time advancement

I reserved a single tee time for 11:56. After showing up an hour early (as I’m visiting the state and like to be early) the gentleman in the clubhouse decided to send me out early. Usually this is fine but the course had a very large scramble tournament. The gentleman send me out with a 3 some that was involved in this tournament. I was told by this group to play ahead of them. After doing that the group behind me asked me to hit in to them and the grout behind me was pushing me forward. I felt rushed and couldn’t get a good shot. I ended up leaving because of this. For future reference please practice time keeping especially when tournaments are happening

Great for first timers!

Awesome golf course for first timers, me and my friends went to play very cheap entry fee. Friendly golfers nobody takes themselves too seriously. Lots of tips and help from other golfers if asked. Obviously know your golf etiquette let people who are playing faster pass you and fill your divots. Overall great course, one duo’s wife heckled us and hit us with a slur for no reason but she was wasted anyways so womp womp. Don’t expect a $100 experience for a $35 per golfer price tag but again for first timers was an absolute blast and will be coming back!

not busy on a Sunday afternoon. Front 9 went fast but 10 & 11 slowed as a couple started on the 10 hole just in front of our 4 some. The course is an executive type with several challenging holes.

par 3 course

Didn’t realize this was a par 3 course, other than hole 1 which was a short Par 4. Tee boxes lack grass and a flat surface, greens were cut to at best a 2nd cut, we tee’d off at 7:30 thankfully , round took 2hr 30 min for 2 of us. Looked like it was going to be a slow moving course. Not a real golf course., more like a field with palm trees and flags.

Death March

Playing here today was like a death march. The foursome in front of us was rude and didn't know the etiquette of golf.
Also, the tee boxes need some TLC and some grass would be nice.
