If you're not in the fairway, you may as well drop another ball. The fairways are blown free of leaves but they blow them into the rough (where most of us play).

No issues other than playing poorly today and the severe biting of the legs and ankle by flies and yellow jackets buzzing us - typical fall bug attack, so bring insect repellent, as I forgot mine. The course was packed so it took just over 4 hours to play. greens were tough with difficult pin placements and slants, plus were somewhat fast, but well manicured.

When we arrived to the course, the staff at the pro shop tried to tell us that someone in our group had called ahead and cancelled our round. This was completely not true as we all drove to the course together, and the ranger made me prove it with the confirmation that we did not cancel. We later learned that there was an outing on the course holding up the pace, and the pro shop tried to do the same thing to the group behind us, again unsuccessful, an attempt to free up the course for the outing. That is ridiculous that they would lie to our faces and try and pull something like that to not only us, but other groups who happened to book the same day as an outing. What they pulled is not only unjust but a deceptive business practice, and a horrible way to treat customers.

What a beautiful day to play a wonderful game . We played the white course, they also have a red course, haven't played that yet but I'm going to. Had a great tasting hotdog at the turn with a drink. The only problem we had was on hole number eight the sand traps were full of bees, you wouldn't want to be in there to get your shot

Although the course was not in great shape due to the weather (water in many sand traps, many areas in fairways were under repair). Disappointed that hole markers were not in place at the tee boxes.

Despite minor problems as above, we had an enjoyable day of golf and will return when the weather stabilizes.

This is a good course for golfers who don't want to deal with water hazards. There are spacious fairways, but small greens with a lot of slope. It is mandatory to stay below the hole if you want to score well. There is a good mix of holes when you can go for it and others when you need to use good course management.

Grounds keepers must have allot of time on there hands! The greens and rough is like playing on cement! Very bad condition! Greens are so hard the puts are fast! The rough is a pasture! The fairways are fair, no pun attended! In order to have a decent game you must always hit in the fairway. If you are in the rough expect to break your wrist! Played here this year 4 times. They book allot of outings so expect slow play! It is a throw of the dice!

Called ahead of time and staff told us they were not busy for the holiday, "it's a normal Monday"- exact words. Once we arrived the place was packed. We had to wait 5-10 min before every shot. No ranger to enforce speed of play, no beverage cart on a 85 degree day, the two drink machines on the course were broken. After almost 5 hrs of play and just starting hole 17 we decided to call it quits and speak with a manager. When confronted the manager became rude, confrontational, and accused us of being liars. The manager told us we were getting a refund and not a rain check because he did not want us back. At no point were we even given an apology. I will never play there again, too many other course to play where I will be treated with respect and professionalism.

I played this course earlier in the summer after heavy rains, so I was not surprised when there was standing water in all of the bunkers. However, I was surprised to see that the bunkers still had standing water in them even though the week had been dry. Fairways and greens were in good shape, but the I don't think the sand has been raked all summer.

This course appears well maintained bc fairways and greens are freshly cut and mowed but the ground is extemely hard and greens did not roll true.

Some of the bunkers were in rough shape but only on first couple of holes.

This is a good beginners or casual golfer course but would not recommend for a low handicapper or high volume player.
