Solid Track

Played early on a Saturday morning, so pace of play was tremendous. Very nice conditions. Layout was solid, but no super memorable holes necessarily. Driving range was nice. Starter was a bit of a curmudgeon, "You're in the midst of the permanent tee times, you better keep pace"... but I'd definitely play here again. Most Saturday morning rounds that are worth while will run you around the same price if not more.

Pace of play was horrible. Almost 5 hours for a round of golf on a Monday afternoon. Never saw a ranger the entire day. On #16, there was a group on the 16th green, 3 groups on the tee and almost a 5th group as the group finishing 15 almost the masses. Conditions were decent as usual. The starter needs to explain the first time players of the course if you enter a restricted zone by accident you must use the reverse to exit the restricted area. Our 4th member of our grouodid not know that and locked his cart up and no one had explained that to him.

Good Golf. Wild Greens.

It's different, challenging and fun. Where the odd mogul-like mounds of despair and odd bunker strips don't get the best of you, the greens themselves will test you from the first green to the last.

Slow play, no beverage cart

Pace of play was horrendous. It took 3 hours to play 9 holes. There was no beverage cart. I called the pro shop to inquire about it and was on hold for 5 minutes, transferred 3 times to be told “yeah, she should be out there” and she never was.

Ridiculous greens and pins

Well groomed course and most holes tee to green are good. The greens and pin placements were completely ridiculous. All
Pins tucked in a corner or places on a sliding ledge. Had 5 yard targets to get your ball to stay near the hole out you hit a good iron shot in.
This is a public course not the US open. Make if fun challenging but not impossible!!

Fun course

Second time playing course, had an enjoyable 9 holes but a little confused about start. Tee time arrives, no starter on back nine for organization and couldn’t locate second half of 4-some, which we believed hit on front 9 instead of back 9. Not a big deal, still enjoyed the outing with a nice bourbon at the clubhouse afterward. Will return.

Not worth the money at all.

Waited 5 mins to tee off on almost every hole. Ranger drove around and didn’t do anything. Par 3’s were brutal.

Fairways were not great condition. Very patchy, especially around the green. Ground was hard.

Whoever designed the greens clearly hates golf. Tiers, plateaus and ramps more than I’ve ever seen, and it was like putting on the cart path. Not to mention pretty rough pin placements. If you have greens like that you need to water them, they were insanely dry.

Sand traps were interestingly placed / shaped but admittedly in good shape, freshly raked. Lots of random mounds and scattered throughout the course

Luckily the drink cart was present very often cause there was plenty of waiting going on for a mediocre experience. Will not be returning.
