Pace of play

Great course. I play here often, but the last couple of times the pace of place was unacceptable. Marshal did try to move people along, but it didn't help.

So so course for the money

Cart paths were extremely rough. The greens had some bad spots on several holes and I was charged an additional $10.00 over what the app said was due at course.

Good basic golf. Improvements have been made. More needed.

This course is not close to my home, so I only play it about 4 times a year, but I’ve noticed a general trend in a positive direction over the last several visits. The course is generally in better condition. Greens are in good shape for the most part, aside from some bare spots near the fringe on a few. Fairways are fine, but several of the tee boxes were shaggy and very hard. The cart paths should be the next item on the improvement campaign. Most contained numerous potholes. I usually only have time to play 9 holes when I come here, but on my most recent visit I played 18. For the most part, the back 9 was solid, but I was surprised to see that the new “range” that is advertised with several signs around the clubhouse and on the course was actually the old 16th hole - a downhill shortish par 4. Until coming upon this poorly thought out creation, I was pleased to see the course now included a range. In the past, warming up at this course required you to hit some balls off a mat into a net. But when I discovered the “range” was created by repurposing about 80% of the 16th hole, I longed for the good old days of hitting into a net. What now passes for the 16th hole is a 90 yard par 3 with artificial turf tees. This may be the worst change I’ve ever seen to a course. This Mickey Mouse hole completely disrupts the flow of the finishing holes and takes away from the credibility of the entire course. Hopefully those in charge will revisit this creation and make 16 a real golf hole again.

Tough scoring conditions

The course overall was in good shape. Greens and fairways were very good but the rough was thick and tough. The difficulty in scoring was the incredibly fast, firm greens, especially on downhill putts. The course has a lot of greens with undulations, so if you were above the hole, you either made the putt or had a long uphill second putt. If you want a good challenge, this is the course.

Great course. Very slow.

I loved everything about the course however it took forever. 5 and a half hours. We waited to tee off on every hole. Don’t know where the Marshall was to move things along. A couple people left mid round.
