Not worth the money

It is an short course that is attempting to be a real golf course. Golf North is trying to make a silk purse out of a cows ear and it is a failure

Other than the standing water on a few holes due to the intense rainfall this month, the course has never looked greener. Finished my round of 18 holes in 3 hours walking. Friendly staff and good value.

No driver required

A nice short course, with lots of par 4’s that are short enough to reach in 2 without ever using your driver. Good place to focus on improving your iron shots.
Had to wait at every tee (until the rain started), often the group in front of me hadn’t hit their ball when I got there. Probably should space out the tee times a bit more to allow a more fluid playing experience, but it was fun to play a round without needing to pull the “slice-o-matic” out of the bag.

Slow playing

Tee offs booked to close together especially with so many groups In front of you, nobody making sure the the pace was kept going so a lot of waiting around for each hole. And the carts are way over priced.

Short course

I enjoyed playing the course even though there is no par 5’s. Many ball marks on the greens were not repaired correctly. Some tee-off’s need attention.

I was able to hit many greens in regulation but the features on the greens made putting challenging.

Beware

Course is part of hotel property. The hotel does "stay and play" packages. So when we arrived for our 8:48 tee time there were 2 foursomes ready to tee off and the course let them go ahead of us because they were hotel guest. I guess they let these people tee off whenever they want regardless of pre-booked tee times. We ended up playing the 3rd 8 hole course instead as we did not want to wait. It is not my place to tell someone how to run their business but this is wrong.
