My fiance and I got paired up with the nicest couple that we could have possibly played with. I have been golfing since I was around 6 years old and this was my fiance's 3 round of 18 (5th time out total). I had the pleasure of playing this course in a Junior tournament. It was a beautiful course for what I can remember.

Let's start by saying that we had a ranger approach us on the third tee due to a group of members behind us complaining. But, what that group couldn't see was the group in front of us and how we waited on every shot just like the group behind us had to do. I will chalk this up to us having two women in our group and a group of 'traditional' country club members behind us.
They are currently doing some construction so I will let that part slide obviously. The conditions of the course was just ok in my eyes because I didn't notice any real difference in the plushness of the fairways or speed of the greens comparing to other public courses in the area. The tee boxes on a few of the newer holes (or redesigned holes) are not even close to being level. You would think they would have been made level from the start. The 17th hole I would love to come play it a few more times but honestly, they give you a landing pad 10 yards by 20 yards that is, I think, 260 from the blue tees. So there is no chance of holding a ball in that area. Then there is a shorter landing area that you need to hit something 180 off the blue tees and then still have another 180 to an island green. Again, it is a beautiful hole but the flow of the hole just seems choppy and it seems like they wanted to put an island green in and they sacrificed that for design.
Weather was beautiful. Greens rolled very well just not as fast as I was expecting or would have liked. (I like lightning greens)

My wife and I signed up for a tee time on Golfnow.com. We arrived about 45 minutes prior to our tee time. The gentleman in the pro shop said go ahead to the first tee and that the starter may get us out early. He paired us up with a father son twosome. The starter warned us that play would be slow. The foursome in front of our group were unbearably slow. By the time we got on the third tee, the GPS in the cart said that the time elapsed was 1:06...3 minutes behind pace of play. I don't know who comes up with the pace of play but if 1:06 for two holes is only 3 minutes behind pace but that person needs their position evaluated. I am an average golfer with a 12 handicap and my wife does not hit a ball further than 120 yds. We were never permitted to play through. I think a Ranger could have helped this issue. Next we arrive at the 9th tee and are asked if we would like to order anything from the clubhouse. My wife and I both ordered a hot dog with fries, a soda, and a draft beer. 20 minutes, after waiting to hit our tee shot on the par 3 9th and playing the hole ourselves, we arrived at the clubhouse to a waiting time of 15 more minutes for our fries. Then the bartender finally decided to ask us what we wanted to drink. Our playing partner twosome only played 9 holes. We arrived at the 10th tee only to notice that two groups had jumped in front of us. Now we had to wait on the previously mentioned slow foursome and two more groups of twosomes. We joined up with a twosome that came up behind us. My wife and I had to quit after the 15th hole due to time restraints. It was already 6:10pm and we started at 1:45. As we rode past the slower foursome, there wasn't another group in front of them for the three hole ride in to the clubhouse. I enjoyed the condition of the course and the degree of difficulty of the course but probably will not come back due to the service.
