Was disappointed in the overall condition of the fairways. There were some fairways where we were in the middle of the fairway sitting in sand, dirt or mud. With a lot of area where the grass was thin or non existent. Greens were in good shape.

The course was in great shape. We had lunch first and the food was good, plentiful and reasonably priced. We went the range. The only issue with the range is that the grass on the range is not the same grass on the course. So hitting from fluffy Bermuda on the range wasn’t like hitting off the tight lies in the fairway on the course.
The issue with the starter was that we went as a twosome. He had another twosome penciled in to join us. Then he pulled that twosome and put them with a twosome behind us and sent us out as a twosome. We were following several foursomes, thus as a twosome in the middle of all the foursomes, we waited... a lot. Play was slow due to the course being crowded, but to compound the slowness by putting us off as a twosome, just made it worse. I even asked if he could have another twosome join us to help with the spacing and timing. He ignored me and said, you’re up... now... go hit. I mentioned it to the Marshall when he came around and he acknowledged there were probably too many twosomes on the course and they shoulda have been paired up.

It was a Sunday afternoon round of golf, so it was a little slow, but nothing outrageous. Lots of bunkers, no water. Greens were a a little thin and bumpy. Surprised for this time of year. Staff was extremely friendly, with the marshalls coming around on a regularly basis and the cart girl came around frequently. Good value for the price. Good selection of tees that allow you some variety. My wife liked where the ladies tees were, she felt they presented a challenge, but weren’t unreasonable.

We called the day before to make sure they had breakfast and coffee available. We timed our arrival to allow for breakfast, time on the range and some leisurely putting and chatting. When we arrived the dining room was locked. We asked in the pro shop and were told someone would be right there. 15 mins later, we’re still waiting in the hopes that at a minimum, we can get some coffee. Long story short, 40 mins later, we have our coffee and a breakfast sandwich to eat on the way to hit a few putts before we tee off. We asked about sliding our tee time to give us more time, but that wasn’t an option. Once on the course, we found that the fairways and greens had recently been aerarated, making putting the crowned greens next to impossible, with the ball bouncing left and right with each putt. Chips would sometimes hit and plug rather roll out... or bounce left or right depending on how they hit one of the aeration holes. We found this all ironic, as the starter made a point of telling us that the personality of the course is all about how well you play the challenging greens. I’m sure 8n a couple of weeks they’ll be perfect, but we felt like they should have told us when we made the tee time. Our vacations are few and far in between and to lose one day to a frustrating experience like this, when it could have been avoided was disappointing.

Shirt course. A lot of blind shots. Greens in good condition. Friendly staff
