Staff is friendly and arrived at my car for the bag. Check in was easy in pro shop but the starter "Ray" was over whelmed with only too groups checking in. We wasted about ten minutes waiting on him to make a decision. Once we started, we made it to hole number 3 and three groups were backed up. We waited 30 min. No ranger in sight, but they were aware. Needless to say this ruined the tempo. When we got to hole 17 the ranger said hurry up the group behind needs to finish??? One there was no where to go and why don't you focus your energy on the bottle necks. Btw, on 17 a group from several holes back skipped to 18 right on front of the ranger. When we got to 18 we were waiting on this group that was waiting on the original group in front of us! Way to go ranger! I have zero tollerence for this gross mis management.

The driving range was less than optimal, only a max of 220 yds. Please replace your driving balls!

My perception was they were very organized. Carts wee lined up with tee times, but they quick fell apart once on the course. I should of know when a sign posted on the door said, " we know accept six-ums".... What!!! Pace of play killer!

For management please review USGA website "tee it forward". Here you will find ways to manage a more fluid pace. If it takes groups 15 min to play your first par 3, then you can't send groups out every 8 mins!

Overall, a good experience and I will return. The Greens are in great shape and role true. The starter gave me some pointers and he was spot on...everything breaks to the ocean...fairways as well. The back nine has a couple driver holes if you really want to use it, but it's not necessary.

The driving range was average. New range balls are needed. Practice and chipping greens are good. The cart paths are a bit bumpy and need some repair.

I'm a 16 handicap and play from the blue tees which adjusted my index to a 20 and that is accurate.

Before teeing off I ran into a group that plays their often. I asked if they had and pointers before I started, they said your handicap is how any balls you will lose. I laughed and teed off, first hole first shot about 5 yards into the rough/bushes and there's the first ball .... Haha.

My final score was a 7. That's how many balls I lost. Keep the driver in the bag! After 3 lost balls off the tee, I played my 3 hybrid off the tee, 205yds more ball control and would typically have 160/150 into the green. Greens are large and slow, but in good condition.

I played on a Tuesday at 11:45 and it was wide open finished in 3 1/2-4hrs. If I wouldn't of lost all the balls then I would finished 15 min sooner.

I will go back and play the course a little different.
