Pretty packed weekend afternoon tee time, but was able to finish in four hours- this is fantastic.

Some shortcomings...
We had some rain in the past couple of weeks and warm weather. I actually expected some green ups on the fairways, greens and tee boxes. The overseeded areas were green, but bermuda was still fairly dormant.
The issue was the hardness of the ground. Dormant grass + VERY hard muddy soil meant every shot you'll end up having a lot of mud left on your clubs, and balls bouncing/rolling to the areas where you don't think it would end up.

The course is relatively short (6654 yds from the tips) with A LOT of elevation changes. The elevation can be challenging and fun, but gets old very quick- two par threes that playing about 25-30 yrs shorter due to elevation change is just too much.
I don't think there is a single bunker on the course, but the areas where the other courses would have bunker- you have muddy hard pan waiting for your ball.

I think the course tries to make up for easy set up by giving a lot of slopes on the green. I have an app that shows the green slopes- it says most of the greens have min of 2-3 degrees, average of 5-7 degrees, some having over 9 degrees. To compensate for these extreme sloping areas, they keep it very slow. Now, the greens are bumpy, and people don't fix the pitch marks..

I love good challenging greens but if the hole can only be cut in the area of 4 degrees of slope... again, this is too much.

I like the elevation change, love the staff and the fast pace of play. But the hard-pan like fairways and putt-putt like greens aren't my cup of tea.

1. Course Condition: Good
The course overall is in good condition. There are patches where St. Augustine type of grass / weed growing on parts of fairway and rough.

2. Golfers: Bad. They need few marshals to oversee the pace of play!
There was a 5 some playing (3 groups ahead of my tee time). Then the group just in front of us seemed to have no knowledge about golf etiquette- throwing golf clubs around, driving carts 5 yards off the green, leaving the cart in the middle of fairway and finish the hole, "Walked" back to the cart to drive off, and the list goes on. Played in the Friday morning, and the round lasted nearly 5 hours.

Overall great course with friendly staff. Great value for the money. But need to take care of these ignorant players on the course with marshals.

Great layout, friendly staff. Faster greens. Occasional encounter with deer makes it more enjoyable.

Great course. The greens rolled pure and fast. Great course conditions.

Greens felt like fairway, Fairway felt like rough, and rough felt like wilderness. Once your ball lands in the rough, you probably won't fond your ball. I lost 4 balls that way. Weeds are growing everywhere, some of the greens are withered. I know it has been raining, but seriously, where are the groundskeeper??
