Read so many awful reviews, I almost didn’t play. But the course was in amazing shape, perfect greens, and always a great layout

Loved it so much I played it 2 days in a row. Staff is great as is pace of play. There are at least 5 short par 4s where you really just need to place it 160-200 out and hit a wedge in. You will double at least 1 hole under 300 yards as they all have their own challenges. Only downside for the course, please don't paint the greens. It's winter and people understand the grass is a bit brown, you don't need to make it so we get green/blue paint on our balls

Arrived 20 mins before my tee time and was told by the starter that I was late - which I've never heard arriving 20 mins before. He had sent out the other members of my group. He then sent me as a single to play behind a 5-some as a single. I asked why they couldn't split the 5 into a two groups of 3, they refused. So then I went off the back. Waited on every hole. It could have been a decent round, but this fell in the category of courses trying to squeeze every penny out with 9-minute tee times and an awful pace. Will never be back.

Love this course, especially playing it from the blues. You hit every shot in your bag and can reach every hole but on a tight track with tricky greens and blind shots.

For mid-July, greens were in great shape for a muni. No blue tees at the moment so course played a little short, but still hit all the clubs

I think this course just vaulted to my favorite in the area. The layout is incredible - pretty much every hole has an up or downhill or both. It's all about hitting the ball straight, which i much prefer over courses where you can just mash it 50 yards offline and be fine. Greens were pretty true though slow. Only downside is I chose to walk, and I highly regretted that. Sweating through my shirt, completely gassed, and often hitting blind shots that a cart drive up could have saved me from. Wasn't worth the small amount of money I saved to walk versus ride.

The course is fine with Amen corner and the TPC 13th being the highlight. I recommend the actual course and quickly realized top courses have A LOT of green side water hazards.

I write this review out of major frustration with the staff and particularly the approach to the current pandemic. 1. They charge extra for a cart if you don't want to ride with a friend, for obvious reasons during COVID. I found this unfathomable and something other courses don't do. If there is a cart shortage, come up with another solution or call it out on your site. Don't charge for it. Makes you seem like you're profiting off COVID 2. No precautions by the staff, especially the guy inside where masks are required ringing you up without a mask. Literally every person I spoke with on the staff seemed rude.

Other negatives - despite consistent heat, course was soggy in lots of places. Even on a weekday, our round took 4.5 hours. Will not be back despite fairly cool golf experience.
