Slow pace

Slow players ahead of my group and also are the groups ahead of them. They didn’t have courtesy to let people play through them. The ranger came out but didn’t know what to do. Wouldn’t be back.

Great course

Love playing here. Second time. Had a 6:10 tee time, played great. A little wet obviously but it didn’t ruin the course. Highly recommend this course!

Manage your Courae better

I have never seen this in my 40 years of golfing. They were running 20 minutes late on tee times no big deal. Then they had a shot gone going off and starting harassing the last 4 groups as if it was our fault they over booked. Pace of play is always horrible there but know they added just pure laziness on their part.

Great and challenging course

This course has its challenging holes and can definitely give you a great round of excitement. Find on a hot deal and this is a steal. Course is very well kept and carts are great. Staff is older in age so sometimes they aren’t the nicest but it is what it is. Starter can be pushy and rush you if you aren’t there in time. Will be back!
