Great course, great price, iffy management.

This is a course that is hard to beat for the price. The fairways and greens are kept nicely despite being hard. The course is not mature yet and doesn't have any truly difficult holes, but they do make up for that fact with good distance from teebox to cup.

The issue I have with this course is if you book online or call in a tee-time, I always have a group going out the same time, or pulling in right behind me, doesn't matter if I'm exactly on time, 10 minutes early, or 15 minutes early.
The course employs no rangers, or none I've ever seen, and pace of play can be an absolute joke, I had an 8some in front of me for 4 holes, that refused to let us play through (a 2 some) and the manager in the clubhouse who can see hole 9 shrugged his shoulders when told at the turn despite the group ordering lunch about 30 feet away at the bar.

I know this sounds negative, but on the whole it is a great course, just don't expect tee times to be honored or a good pace of play. I play this course about twice a month, and these are consistent issues. If it cost more, I would probably stop going.

Diamond in the rough

Exceptional course for the money. They don’t have big steep slopes or wasted money on florist covered tee boxes but what they offer is a long challenging course that is forgiving yet dangerous at the same time. Considering the amount of play I’d call it in excellent condition. Those who play it need to do a better job of being courteous and fix their ballmarks so fix all ya can. And more rakes in the traps would be nicer too. Can’t wait to play it again and I’d choose this over Timber Ridge in a heartbeat!!

Packed!

Course was so packed after 4 hours and being on home 12 we quit. Got stuck behind a group of 7 people playing all together because they were catching a 3 some. They need a ranger out there pushing people along.

Great Course

I’ve played here multiple times now. The staff is very friendly and I enjoy the course layout. It goes from wide open fairways to tight wooded holes. Staff is friendly and the course is maintained well.

Overall great course for the value. Only complaint is the tee boxes are beat up and I didn’t notice any divot sand anywhere.

Great place

Great place to play, staff is very friendly. Not overly strict on rules. Fairways and wide and forgiving for beginner golfers. Greens are in good shape. Cart path had a couple rough spots but nothing major. Great service from beverage cart and great prices. All in all will be playing again.

Nice course

We had a great time. This was our first round of the season so we were looking for a course in good condition that was not super challenging. This was perfect. The pace of play was great. We only had 2 so we did a little but of waiting but not bad considering it was very busy.
