I really like this golf course and have played in the summer. This was first time in the fall and the fairways on some holes were in poor condition. Several had areas completely turned to mud perhaps from the sprinkler system. Also, leaves everywhere. It’s frustrating to lose balls on fairways because the leaves are so thick you can’t find them. Upkeep needs upgrading in the fall.

Monday in September should have a good speed of play. Not so. Lots of two-somes and three-somes that we’re not very good, extremely pokey and inconsiderate. As a single I got stuck behind people who didn’t offer to let me play through. I had to jump holes. Others thought every shot was the deciding factor for the Master’s, requiring a five minute conversation.
This is a terrific course, but when it is crowded they need a warden to move people along so they maintain a reasonable pace of play.

I have golfed this intermittently in the past and enjoyed the round. This most recent time, though, the greens were in terrible shape from winter kill. I wasn't warned, and all in our group were charged full rate. I expect value in return for my money when the course is expensive and some distance from me. I didn't get it.

I've played this course twice, and I really like it. I have a 12 handicap, and I found it challenging and also somewhat forgiving. The fairways were great, even in the off-season. Greens are among the best around: no winter kill. Although it's a little out of the way from the Metro, it is worth the drive.
