First Round

Course just opened but had no tee markers . Pace was good which surprised me. Greens were slow but its good to have a course opened after long winter.

Grass needs to be cut more regularly. Secondary rough was super long and with the rain, playing was a challenge.

Pace of Play!!

3rd time this year I’ve been there and caught behind very elderly players who literally can barely walk. Cart path only is perpetuating the problem. This needs be addressed right away. I was a single who bounced around and ended up behind two more singles, how does that happen and why weren’t they partnered with each other.

Great course for the price.

Great course conditions. One of the beat public city courses around. Well maintained and forgiving at times, but still very challenging.

Great Course w/ GPS golf carts

Course was in great shape I would recommend this course to play. I absolutely will love playing the course again and again. The only downfall is hole 1 and 10 is right next to driving range.
