Course closed early due to severe weather

Can I have a rain check due to course closing early? The pro shop told me to reach out to golf now since reservation was prepaid.

Good but.... should have been better

great, friendly staff - very helpful & accomodating
great course but in poor condition - course has deteriorated over the past few years although greens fairly decent
rude foursome held up numerous groups with extremely slow play and never offered to even let a single play through - no marshalls on course to help manage pace of play & golf etiquette

Friendly staff and laid back atmosphere but the greens definitely needed some work for the cost of green fees but pretty property. #2 is a challenge

Terrible course

The greens are in terrible shape
The fairways need to be cut
The bunkers need a lot of work grass growing all in the bunkers and everywhere I would not recommend this golf course to anyone

Winter is mostly to blame

Course conditions were awful. Mud everywhere and cart path only even tho we were 3 days removed from rain. Greens were solid but slow. Course layout stinks. Just randomly meandering thru very hilly terrain. Not a lot of sense to it. There was par 4s where I hit longer clubs on my second shot than off the tee. And par 5s where I had only 165 in on the second shot. Clubhouse being renovated - awesome outdoor grill setup at the turn tho. Very good burgers. No beer cart on a Saturday makes no sense.

Come here if you want to play 9 holes for the price of 18!

The worst pace of play my group has ever experienced on a golf course. On hole 2, we counted five groups on the same hole (two waiting at the tee box, one teeing off, one in the fairway, one on the green). And this continued for the entire round. We quit after spending three and a half hours through 11 holes, and then a patron we passed on the way back to the clubhouse yelled a profanity at us for driving by them! Nearly everyone on the course had bad etiquette and played incredibly slow. Save your money and do not come here.

Hello, kalenick. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
