7:30 tee time. Ask where I can get coffee, they tell me Starbucks. Most courses that charge $250 offer free coffee or at least have somewhere to buy a cup. I then ask where I can get water, they tell me the snack bar opens at 8:30 and the snack cart will be on course starting at 9:00. Mid August with temperatures in the high 80’s and they have NO WATER. We didn’t see the snack cart until the 9th green!!! For the price, put some ice and waters in the coolers on each cart. This is a limited service golf experience if I’ve ever had one and cannot recommend this course.

Arnold Palmer designed course, with very large green that have significant undulations and close to if not gimmicky. Only a few holes are pretty holes, otherwise boring scenery. Some greens were punched, while others weren’t, no rhythm or reason as to which ones. They have no drinking water available on the course and only at the snack bar which is inconveniently located. Driving range is mats only and they are used and beat up mats that you can’t find a flat lie on. The starter is pretty worthless, offering no assistance and limited information, pro shop guys are only slightly more helpful. Too much money for just an okay experience.

The course is okay, pretty flat and boring layout with only a few decent holes, none of which are particularly memorable. Set within a large housing community, almost all the holes are snuggly lined with homes, and most of these houses are just a few yards from the fairway making it very stressful for any shots that are a few yards off line. The pace of play is SLOW, I teed off at 7:00am the other day and had to wait on literally every hole. I expect to wait (and do) when I have played here in the afternoon or even late morning, not that early. The staff (especially in the pro shop, but also the bar) is not particularly friendly or welcoming, not rude, just cold. They are also charging $1 for a cup of tap water (bottled water is $2); which is kinda shocking to do to your paying customers while they are golfing in the 90 degree summer heat for 4.5 hours. Congratulations, you have become the Spirit airline of golf courses. I can definitely afford to pay $1 for tap water, in fact I can afford to pay even more for a course that won't nickel and dime me and will provide a decent guest (customer) experience!
