Picturesque

This is such a nice course. For me it can be challenging as i've only been played 3 years. My only wish is that they update their carts to have wi-fi and computer screens as I love to play my music, but other than that it's a beautiful course.

Painful Pace

Beautiful day with some great guys to share a round of golf. Group in front was painfully slow, and no ranger to urge them along. At least 1 open hold ahead of them. No drink cart available, and would have liked at least some water - ran out. Course was in great shape, although greens aerated, so putting was tough - should discount on days when greens are in that condition.

Great fall golf

Wonderful views of the first and tenth tees. Fairways in very good shape. Greens were aerated and sanded about a week ago but still running ok. The restaurant serves great food, with friendly staff.

Walked

1st part of weekend

They started the 3 of us on 10 which is no big deal. When we made the turn they had 4 groups in front of us waiting to go off #1. From there people started taking their time because it was so slow and no place to go. Would recommend a weekday morning

Great Course, Great Staff.

I really enjoy playing this golf course, the staff is always very friendly and helpful. The greens were in great condition, and the course overall avoided any issues brought on by last nights rain. The big issue here is pace of play. First the 2 random people were paired with, refused to play with us, and instead played as a second group behind us which slowed the course down. Second, the group kept hitting 2 or 3 tee balls per person, so we waited behind them on every tee box. To sum it all up, love the course, love the staff, hate the people who slow it all down.

1st time at course

The course was fun. I played the day after a big rain storm and the course was very wet but the greens ran smooth. Would definitely play again. Staff was great helping me out with the layout since I started on #10

Hidden Gem

Love this course,

It's a really pretty course, short with some challenging holes and greens. You can score well if you keep it in check.

Forced to Leave after 9 by Starter because of 3:10 league

Title says it all. Got stuck behind an ego foursome (play tips and shouldn’t be). Still finished 9 in 2hrs on the nose. Told by Starter at 3pm we would not be able to finish our paid 18holes because of a league starting at 310pm. Never in 20+ years of golfing have I had that happen. What a joke
