Very quick round

The course was not very busy today. I was a single, walking and caught up to a foursome on the 10th hole, so played through them and skipped the 12th hole; total round took me 2:30 to play. Loved it!

lots of trouble if you don't hit it straight

played at a good pace (4 hours); if you don't hit straight drives off the tees, you can lose a lot of balls on this course.
greens in good shape; fairways surprisingly wet for the recent weather here.

Like having our own course

Pace of play is usually around 4 hours but today our threesome played a leisurely round in 3:45. Always find the course challenging but very fair. Lovely scenery, well maintained course. One of our favourite courses in the area.

Picturesque and beautiful course

Memorable holes, with picturesque setting.
Holes are challenging but fair. Forward red tees for ladies make it a fun course for my wife to play as well.

Greens need work

Early in the season, looks like the greens were just aerated and were rough, with lots of sand and loose grass. They had a fair number of maintenance workers working on the traps and course so expect it will be in better shape soon.

Course has seen better condition

The greens were in awful shape; bare patches, dry patches, very slow. The fairway grass was long. I've played here for years and this was the worst shape I've ever seen it in.

Needs yardage markers

The main complaint is that there were no yardage markers (50, 100, 150, 200) so without your own GPS unit it was very difficult to determine distance to the greens. The greens were in pretty good shape but the bunkers were so hard that they had to be considered ground under repair. Not a pretty course. The rough was really deep and hard to find a ball that missed the fairway by even a few feet. No very busy on a cool windy day so we were able to play 18 in 4 hours at a leisurely pace.

only the price was right

We were rudely greeted when we checked in by the guy in the pro shop who complained that the course gets no income when booked through GolfNow, as if GolfNow forced them to use their services.
The cart paths are treacherous; one bridge is a major accident to happen on the back 9. Fairways on the front 9 are close to each other so watch out for balls coming at you from holes on either side. Very few yardage markers so be sure to use your own GPS for distances. Lots of blind shots.

A course for every skill level

The course also has Red tees for seniors, which in many cases are set up at the start of the fairways on long holes, which made it a much fairer course for my wife to play. The tees, however, are a bit hard to find on some holes and perhaps could be better marked. In some cases, we stumbled upon them because we didn't see them at first.
Being a senior man, I don't hit the ball very far and was very comfortable playing the gold tees, which made it very enjoyable for me, without overtaxing myself.
The very leisurely 4 hour round was a pleasure to play.

Great short course

We practically had the course to ourselves on a beautiful early summer day. Easy to walk. I was able to use most of the my clubs, which is good in the early season; just what I was looking for.

Slow pace

It took nearly 5 1/2 hours to play the round, which is too long for a public course.

Short but a challenge

Lots of beautiful looking holes; a little short but fine for more golfers; you can use all of your clubs and have to think your way around the course; typical of a Stanley Thompson designed golf course. Played 18 holes in less than 3.5 hours; it's a treat to feel like you have the whole course to yourself. Weekday pace of play is a golfer's dream.

late season aeration in progress

I would have prefered to know, before arriving at the course to play, that the course was being aerated. The back nine had just been aerated. I played again several days later, booked through golf now, and the front nine was not open because it was being aerated so I had to play the back nine twice. Would it be possible for this information to be made available before booking?

A memorable course

Challenging yet fair; a nice variety of holes and I get to use all of my clubs. Always a good pace; when busy about 4:00-4:15.
My wife also enjoys this course more than any other that we play.
