Course looked to be in great shape. Greens and fairways were excellent for a public course in this area. Pace of play was slow but it was a holiday and the course was packed.

Too crowded

I enjoyed playing the course. 6,000 yds from the senior tees is long for me. There were too many people that took too long to play a shot.

Over Booked; Slow Pace

I’m not sure how you have 6 people teeing off at the same tee time, but it happened here. I’ve been told they double book but who knows. Foursome in front of me wouldn’t even offer to let me play through as a single. Waited for 10 mins on each tee box. Used to enjoy playing this course but not going to be somewhere I play in the near future.
