Well groomed

Very nice course. Greens and fairways were in great condition. Well managed. Many hills on course. Good layout and challenging but not narrow enough to be too aggressive. Well worth the price. Nice carts as well.

Course needs work

Primary complaint is the condition of the cart paths. Very difficult to drive on. Played with person with bad back and he was not happy. Front nine holes are too tight together. And back very hilly.

To earn a fifth star the club should finish the clubhouse and bathrooms, pave all the cart path, and provide gold tee markers consistently.

The course was beautiful and amazing experience!

The course has changed so much over the past couple of years and it is an amazing experience! Pace of play was smooth and the staff was friendly and helpful! Anyone looking to play a challenging course and have a great time I would highly encourage checking out the VUE.

Greatly improved in recent years

Course was in excellent condition except for bunkers. No sand. All hard packed with rocks and gravel throughout. Pace of play wasn’t great. No rangers out keeping slower groups moving. Overall was well maintained and greens and tee boxes were pristine.

Good now and better to come

Course is undergoing extensive renovations (May ‘23) of everything other than the course itself and seems to include extensive residential development nearby. The course had been allowed to fall into significant disrepair and some of that still affects the experience. Most of the mess is near the clubhouse where major earthworks are unavoidable and the internal clubhouse where works are sorely in need of completion. On the course, the cart paths are in diabolical condition and there is a wasp infestation in the green side bunker on the 9th which is extensive and scary.

The good news is that it’s a lovely course - good bones. It has a couple of classic holes, the immediately obvious 10th being one. There are several steeply inclined holes like the 9th and 14th which add an attractive level of challenge as well as aesthetic appeal. There is water in a couple of places including a pond on both nines but some soggy spots on fairways. The greens are in good condition and well contoured if a bit on the slow side. Bunkers are not overly challenging and were generally well maintained.

We two booked a GolfNow hot deal which excludes a cart. The sign in the Pro Shop advised that carts are $25 but they charged us $40. When we pointed to the sign, we were told that it was $25 per person. I’d prefer to be hiring a BMW at that rate.

Course was in great shape

Course was in great shape. Front nine we were moving right along. We did have a few places where we had to wait. The problem was the back nine. Groups went off on the back that did not play the front therefore the group in front of us were waiting on every tee while we were waiting on the cart path. Groups should not go off the back ahead of the groups that played the front. Front 9 took us 1 hour and 50 minutes but the back took us 2:45 .
