Terrible pace of play at nice course

Course itself is in good shape and has a great layout, but a 5.5hr round on a Friday morning is unacceptable. There were 4 groups waiting to tee off on 1 and the tee times seemed to be stacked every 5 mins, not allowing for any spacing between groups. Ranger and pro shop didn’t seem to care.

Tough Course made Tougher

I played on a beautiful day after a rainy evening. The course doesn't drain that well and was really muddy. The greens were punched about a month ago and are still dimpled. The combination made for a tough conditions.

Unfortunately, the tough conditions and cart path only conditions led to delays. This is a tough course and probably isn't appropriate for golfers that can break 100, preferably 90.

It's still spring

Had to remind myself it is still spring. The course is still growing in from winter dormancy. Lots of questionable lies in both the fairways and the rough. Bunkers had no rakes, none at all on the whole course! Played "Covid rules" to find spots with no footprints to play from.

Greens recently aerated and have not fully recovered. Hopefully this week's rain and some better temperatures will bring good growing conditions and this course will be back to the usual great condition.

Great layout, slow greens, bit off putting treatment

Fairways and greens probably need a month or so more time, then it’ll probably be best course for the dollars you’ll fork out. Aerated greens were bumpy and slow and fairways are not quite grown in. Bunkers were not raked and there were no rakes. Course marshal came out and yelled at a 4th person in our group for parking on a hill with rough that was bone dry and the starter said we could drive anywhere we wanted.

Love this course

Course was in great shape for this time of year. Greens were very hard and slowwww. My friends and I love this course, but they will price us out in another month.

It's hard to justify the cost

$89 for a Friday during winter hours is a tough sell. The course is sprawling but no half way house and the grille isn't open in the morning means you need to come prepared. Water fountains were off too so no amenities available on the course Greens were in good shape. Fairways good shape. Some teeboxes were not marked and some were set up very poorly.

February Golf…65 degrees

This course was extremely tough and played longer than the 6300+ as advertised on the card. Great weather for golf…was a little surprised by the Cart Path Only rule today…most of the holes were bone dry…4 hole’s definitely earned the CPO designation.
