Poor pace

I’ve played here a few times and have generally had a good experience
On this day it was particularly slow
I’ll return but for the money I’m expecting a sub 5 1/2 hour round. Even on Sunday

Stacking Teetimes

I hate leaving a negative review about a course I’ve enjoyed playing regularly over the past 10+ years, but the same experience twice in 2 weeks?!? Terrible pace of play! 5 hours and 10 minutes to finish a round on a Tuesday morning is unacceptable. Course is in great shape, putting green was closed, staff was great, but sitting on a teebox watching 2 groups tee off in front of you SUCKS! I hope they figure it out, but I will not be giving them a try next week or anytime I’m the near future.

Great Course!

There was a glitch with the schedule but the club house was still about to help me get off for my scheduled time and super chill about it. I've done the early bird special for 9 holes and I love it! The pace of play is great. The greens are in great shape. The course is usually a little more wet because of morning watering but still fun to play. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for 9 holes.

Terrible pace of play, meh course conditions

5 hour round on a saturday morning, no marshal in sight. When I told the pro shop staff that it’s disappointing to have a five hour round on a Saturday morning, their response was literally just shrug and to say that it’s only 20 minutes longer than their average. Glad to know their average so I won’t have to come back and punish myself again.

The course conditions on the front nine are poor with bare patches, along with many Fairway,, but improve significantly on the back. The greens are pretty pristine and run very fast. I did not use the restaurant, but it seemed pretty nice.

The Links

I’ve played this course before in much better condition. The entire cours was very dry. Felt like I was hitting off hard pan when I was in the middle of the fairway. There were many spots on the course and around the green that were bare. Had to chip over them.

Hmmmm

Fairways were covered with ground under repair. Had to move our next shots several times. The green on #7 was ridiculous my unfair. I was 8’ for birds and that put rolled 16 ft past. Way to reward a golfer Superintendent! That’s just stupid.

Good every day course

Good condition. Played long due to being wet. Soft greens with a lot of slope in good condition. Many greens sloped front to back. If the greens were not slow they could be impossible to putt.
