Anarchy rampant

There was a senior two some hopping around the whole course, would jump on the tee of your next hole while you were finishing on the green. They weren't even quick or polite, just entitled like clueless twats.

The ranger nowhere to be seen, just no etiquette or regard to other paying patrons. Disturbing experience. When you catch up to them and stare at them or hit close to them, they'd act like you're the problem. Wasn't even given a receipt so a ranger could even sort out this mindless hole-hopping, ended up skipping a hole to get past these lunatics, then they did it again to a group a couple holes ahead, held up the entire 9 because they're idiot joyriders.

It’ll do

This course plays okay. The front 9 is MUCH more taken care of than the back 9. It was almost like trying to stick the tee in a fossil with how hard some areas were. The back 9 feels like it was designed for putt putt with how close each hole is to each other. Theres no beverage or snack cart service. If you just want to let off some steam or hit some balls around with some buddies then this course will do.

Decent course but very rough in spots.

The main problem with the course is, because it is low and floods occasionally, many fairways and rough are essentially hard pan surfaces. Also, pace of play can be slow.

Won't play here again

Understood that it was a holiday so expected slow play especially with the rate.That said, not worth the money for numerous reasons. The course was in terrible shape. The rough wasn't even grass, was a mix of some clover type weed and dirt. I get that we haven't had rain but other city courses are in much better shape. The course is tight, but they could trim the trees so they aren't hanging over the fareway blocking ladies tee shots. Our golf cart needed service and was so jerky, like the gas wasn't getting to the engine. Half the ball washers were empty. And because the course is so tight, expect golf balls flying at you from all directions. Too many other good courses around to play so will scratch this off my list.

I use ball washer water fill as a barometer for how much a course actually considers the patrons. Its essentially free to fill them and just plain inconsiderate NOT to do so. I am shocked when a course fails to do even this.

Great course to get a quick practice round in and work out kinks in your game. Sometimes it is a little slow, but meets requirements in every other way.
