No Starter

We got to course the gentleman in the Pro Shop very nice. However, no information provided on the course. We found someone in the cart area and he explained no starter just go up at your time. The pace of play was very slow. The course was nice however, the difficulty was based on the length of the hole. Don't think we would play here again.

Another great round at this course

Course was in good shape. Only reason for a good and not an excellent rating is cart path only tends to slow the pace of play. Staff was friendly however, did not give us some of the information for the round. Might have been an oversight.

Great course and great value.

The course is well set up. Fairways and rough in great shape. The second shot to the green was difficult with all the sand traps surrounding the greens. Will play again and highly recommend this course.

Tough Greens

We unfortunately played on the hottest day of the week. However, the course was in great shape. The greens had just been aerated so a bit more difficult. Even if they had not been aerated the greens are very sloped and are tough for putting. The fairways were great as well as the pace of play. Would play again.

Great Deal but only to Play the Front 9

Got a great deal on the play however, did not notice the fine print that we were only going to play the front 9 twice. Work was being done on the back 9. Were a little disappointed at first however, still enjoyed the round. Want to play again the full 18 next time.

Wonderful! We're glad that you got a great deal and that you enjoyed your round. We're sorry that you were unaware of that back 9 being closed. We look forward to having you back in the fall once all 18 holes are back open!

Slowest Pace of Play Ever

Booked 18 holes only played nine. Took almost 3 hours for 9 holes. We were given a voucher for 9 holes. But this is the third time we have played here and always find the pace of play very slow. At other courses usually see a course Marshall ensuring the pace is kept up. Never saw a Marshall during the 3 hours. Very disappointed.

Tougher back nine

Loved the course the biggest complaint would be not having some sort of GPS as the back nine we were always hitting blind. Didn't know what was over the hills.

Pace of Play

Found that the pace of play was very slow. Not sure if this was the skill level or that the course tends to have a short time span between tee times.

Pace of Play

Golf course in good shape however, this time of year November usually means cart path only. This slowed down the pace of play.
Staff very informative and knowledge about the course.

The course was beautifully landscaped and if you could stay on the narrow fairways. Relatively easy to play.

The course was one of the most scenic we have played. It had been open for a week after re-seeding which allowed for cart path only. Our only complaint was that none of the sprinkler heads were marked and therefore, made it difficult to get a read on yardage with cart path only.

Course was very nicely laid out.

Nice course, very scenic. Played just before re-seeding so the greens were very hard to read. No fault of the golf course.
