This course is very difficult for intermediate golfers

Sand traps not raked made it difficult. The mowing staff were very courteous.

Not much trouble, could rake the traps every day.

Pretty wide open, however letting the grass grow makes it difficult to hit out of.

Severe sloped greens

It's like trying to putt on glass, and don't dare to be above the hole.

It plays longer than the scorecard indicates.

The west course was closed due to it being too wet for carts. The other two nines were very good, especially the greens. They would get more play if they lowered their cost per round.

A championship course without raked traps!

The course is pretty wide open, with very few trees. The positioning of the traps and the long rough make the course difficult to score on & don't be above the hole for the 1st putt. I was the only Golfer in sight. Very few cars in the parking lot, leads me to believe that the course is asking too much money to play.

Wet as usual.

Although there has been a lot of digging of ponds lately, there seems to be a disconnect with where the drains would do the most good. At least we weren't inundated with mosquitoes. The sand is terrible, no raking on any one trap. The cart paths need attention before they're lost. Worth the price, however not any more.

Very picturest. Great views from the top, with a nice breeze.

The greens and pin placement make rounds at this course very challenging. Pretty wide open, however there are elevations and wind that have to be accounted for.

Very nice course. Greens were hard, but fair.

The greens were spongy, not quick as they are normally. The wind was difficult to adjust to.

Very nice course. Greens were hard, but fair.

The friendly staff only helps to sell the course. A very manageable set up. Fun was had by all due to the different skills to play there offered challenges although it wasn't overwhelming difficult.

Course seems very long.

For a long hitter that might spray a little, this course lets you swing away. The EAST course has a few holes where you have to go over water, which is very challenging to a novice golfer. The WEST course is pretty dried out, however t is very long. Also, the South course is a typical 9 holes, with no traps!

This course has very difficult greens.

It's like putting on linoleum! If you are above the hole, good luck two putting from there. None of the greens were receptive to being hit in the air, without leaving a single ball mark to repair.

The course is pretty wide open.

The Staff was friendly and helpful, pointing out the course lay-out. The carts ran fast, which sped up play. There appears to be a lot of Walkers and twosomes, which doesn't speed up play. The course is very dry and hard. The greens are very quick, fast, and never leave a ball mark! Putting is true. The greens are most receptive to the players that roll their ball up to them, and can control the distance of the roll out. If you hit the green on approach, you usually go off of the back.

Temporary Greens

The greens were just spiked and dressed. There was NO indication from the Manager to let the players know of the conditions of the greens or that there would be temporary greens being used on a number of holes.

Need of a Marshall forr slow play

After the mixed foursome had hit their 8th shots apiece and not being on the 1st green, I mentioned it to the Starter and was told that there wasn't a Marshall today. We passed them on the 2nd hole and finished up 18 as they were finishing the 9th!

Course Management

The use of a competent Ranger would've made play smoother, one foursome holding up the whole course due o waiting for each and every player to hit before getting ready themselves. Also, putts less than a foot away were marked and putted, not conceded! We are not professionals by any means.
Get ready and go.

Very Slow Greens

Many holes had damage and they were not cut very low. Staff was working on many holes, some with more than 5 workers at a time.
Did not like the appearance with the rough being let to go to seed (heather).
