Wet winter has taken a toll on course conditions

After a wet week in the area no surprise to see soggy conditions and cart path only was to be expected. What was surprising is how the tee boxes were torn up with divots making it very difficult to get a level stance and lie. I could understand the par 3 tee boxes being that way, but this was noteworthy throughout the course.
It’s a great facility (practice areas and clubhouse) with nice views, but the wet winter has taken a toll on course conditions.

Just Fair

I am a 6 handicap, fairways are in very bad conditions, greens are good. The lay out is fair. Playing from the blue tee is ok. We quit at the 15th hole because the pace was horrible 4:30 hours and still 3 hole to go and was pretty cold.
Provably playing during the week the pace is better but any way the fairways are in very bad condition.
I am not coming back.

Time

We booked a time that a 4-4.5 hour round would have been possible at 5 hours we were on 16th tee and it got to dark to finish. It was disappointing to say the least. The course was fun and challenging, the staff was friendly and patient but the over 5 hour pace of play has got to go.

Staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, highly recommend this course to anyone interested in playing a good round of 18. There were a few maintenance things that I would recommend be taking a look at all along some of the fairways, but overall great experience.

No Beer

Apparently, they decided to close the bar at 3 pm on Jan 1 while many golfers were still playing. Hard to get a beer after the round. The bartender was not very pleasant. Seemed like he wanted to be elsewhere.
