Perfect weather
Used cart

Slow play, no starter, no marshals, too many flights/players

Our tee time was in the afternoon - we started a bit later for no apparent reason and had to wait between 5 and 15 minutes on each hole - so with the early darkness, we could only complete like 9 holes in 2 and a half hours.. Flights are at 7 minute intervals - which is very dense in COVID times. All other COVID measures are in place. There is no starter, and there are no marshals keeping an eye on the pace of play. The course is in only fair shape shape as can be expected this time of the year but there is no reason for players to not repair pitch-marks. There are may geese on the course and hence lots of goose pooh - there doesn't seem to be any effort made to keep the course clean. Seems the facility is more interested in raking in green fees than providing a nice golfing experience. Sorry - not coming back.

Nice day out but...

They shouldnt put 2 players in one cart separated by some plexiglass. Each player should have their own.

Not having real holes but just ‘hitting the hole‘ changes the game. (The cup is lifted out of the hole).

Not going back. Sorry.

Cheap and cheerful

Nice course, challenging holes. Fairways and greens are not perfect but fine for an average player (HCP 18+). A good course management strategy pays off more than hitting long. Bunkers are in somewhat poor condition, and fairways have a few bumps and rough patches, greens are ok, not too much undulation. With GolfNow you can play there for 10 bucks - so why complain!
