Good experience

Used to play this course before Covid but the pace was horrible. Now they have 10 minute spacing for tee times and that is a big improvement. Conditions were pretty good but greens were a little beat up. Overall not bad and the layout is great. Plays long but fairways are wide. We played on a Monday at a 4:20 pace.

Wet track

Golf course was crazy wet, even with the rain, sprinklers looked to be on normal which really drowned this golf course.

HW gets a lot of play, so expect a slower pace on weekends. Carts are older; ours barely kept up with the walkers in our group. The course was fun and in surprisingly good condition for a public course that gets heavy play.

Rude and ill mannered staff

I played here many time but I always ignored the attitude of staff ladies. They are very rude, a noxious and cranky because both of them are old farts. They have no manners and really zero customer service.
If you buy an online deal without cart.and if yiu want to buy at the counter then it used to be $10 per person. Today we got a great deal and wanted a cart and she said $18 per person. When I said week ago and two week ago it $10 per person, she said if you want it is $18 otherwise no cart. When I took the case to so called GM, he is one more joker telling me that they made mistake. I said they are keep making mistake week after week. He just shrugs his shoulder like so and he don’t care….,
This mean it is a place with bunch of losers who don’t care about business and customer. I would suggest to go somewhere and don’t even think about even trying this place.

Nice course, but with Bumpy Greens and No Water Stations

We played this course on arguably one of the hottest days of the year. The course was pretty nice overall, but the greens were not very well mantained.

More importantly, there were no water stations throughout the course, so if we didn't bring enough water with us, we could have been in trouble. I'd suggest they provide water on one of the holes in each nine.

Course was over booked like always, leading to a very slow pace of play. Pro shop staff was not friendly or kind at all, no food ready at turn and seemed like a burden when we asked for a couple drinks.
