Staff greeted us immediately in the parking lot. Then took our clubs away rather quicky so if you plan on pounding beers at this course be prepared right away to stuff them into your bag because there is no chance you'll be able to sneak a little cooler by these people. The key is putting the beer in your bag ahead of time, then on hole number two you simply transfer it to the cooler which comes equipped on the cart.

The staff was not pretentious or snooty at all (which I deal with more often than others simply because i look like i'm in my 20s still). Staff was very friendly.

The golf cart was one of these high tech rigs, so that was definitely a plus (GPS, cooler with water, tee's). They had a free driving range conveniently located next the 1st teebox.

Course was in great shape for late September. Although the greens were aereated, this is probably also why we got a half priced round. Would love to go back and see how these greens are in peak season. Tough pin placements and lots of slope made putting challenging but it sure was fun. Lots of funky greens built into the landscape which I personally like but I could see how others could get frustrated quickly.

Fairways were beautiful and perfect. First cut of rough was very manageable. Bunkers were fluffed up and well taken care of.

Some tee boxes were better than others, but overall they were in great shape. At points, the course is absolutely stacked on top of each of other. And during a busy day, this is not fun. It's not fun to CONSTANTLY be looking around to slow or stop the cart as people were putting or teeing off. I gave up with this practice by the 6th hole. I know this will sound rude, but if a tournament isn't going on, than a I really don't give a hoot about being quiet while you miss your double bogey putt. Life goes on. Let's play some golf and then get back to Mohegan to gamble.

This is main complaint: how the heck do yo guys start so many people at once? You can't be hurting for the money that bad if your charging people around $100 per round. For the love of god, please consider delaying some tee times. In your defense the group ahead of us was very bad and very slow with almost no consideration to the pace of play. But they never asked to let us play through, nor had a notion to do so. That's what your starter/marshall is for. The group ahead of us held up the WHOLE COURSE. Must have been a dozen groups behind us all playing the same 5.5 hour round. Unacceptable. I shot like garbage cause of it. Very hard to play well when your taking sometimes up to fifteen minutes in between shots. You'd think that after taking 14 practice swings you'd get your shot down but it doesn't always work that way. Thank god we snuck beer out there or we woulda been very bored.

Despite the stacked-ness, the holes themselves were amazing. Never seen anything like it. Those two par 5's on the front were the best two consecutive holes i've ever played. Very unique course.

In the end, this course has almost enough to get me back. The pace really put a damper on things. Oh and i forgot to mention that we played on a Monday at noon.
