Be careful with your expectations

High season however they are really craming people on to the course.. No driving range but they do have nets to hit into. Balls were left by Gene Sarason. On course restrooms were very dirty. A 5 some jumped in front of us on #10. 5 hours 15 minutes to play 5100 yard course.

Maintenance lacking

Played a day after large wind storm. Course was littered with bark and debris. Greens very slow and “hairy” as if they had not been cut in awhile. Slow group in front caused three groups on every hole from #3. Staff & starter were great. Unnecessarily long round with not great conditions. Should have been warned before round course was not groomed.

Throwback

Fun course with 60's vibe. Fairly short course ideal for beginner to intermediate golfers. Low handicappers won't find much of a challenge. Course meanders among a lot of 60's era houses. Fair layout, good condition and unique clubhouse and starting area. Wouldn't hesitate to play it again

Nice Course, Nice Day,NOT SO NICE PACE OF PLAY

All good experience except for foursome
with one beginner ahead that was being
given instruction while playing by partner
and other elderly couple were incapable
of hitting the ball less than ten times per
hole each, and groups behind playing through
and skipping a hole to get past them.
Fortunately for others, they quit after 9 holes.
