Valet only no bag drop.

Overall facilities were in good shape pace of play was good.

Unfortunately, someone had the brilliant idea of using the resort valet as the parking for the golf course so we sat for 15 minutes waiting to park you then stand to put your shoes on in the line while everyone behind you fumes and getting out was even worse 35 minutes to get our car after carrying our clubs a quarter of a mile to get there The kicker is also that they validate in the pro shop so there’s no point in doing this . Poor planning

worst round possibly ever

So much hype, Dare The Bear, i had a few rewards built up and decided to take my wife to what i told her was an iconic course. we got there was no parking, got to pro shop and was told they had a huge tournament taking place. he said he had 125 players on the course. it took us 3 and a half hours to play 11 holes. we got to 12 there were 5 groups on the hole we made 6. could not stand it any longer,we drove back to club house there were 3 groups on 11 and 10 and 3 groups waiting at turn.There was never a ranger on the course at any point. Went to club house and was told by smart mouthed kid behind the counter that's just what happens sometimes and have a nice day.management should be ashamed of themselves.drove over an hour to get there and will never return will make it a point to tell everyone who ever asks how much this plase sucked. If management is
push for maximum money and incredibly poor customer service than this was a banner day for them.

We apologize for you disappointment...the truth being told you showed up 25 minutes late and then you wanted to play as a twosome which obviously will play faster. You where told how busy we were and you still chose to play. Plus you booked as a trade time with Golf Now. Hopefully you will be so encouraged to come and play again and once again we apologize for your inconvenience.

Always a great time

Course is always in good shape. They are punching the greens tomorrow. Played both Saturday and Sunday.
The owners should be ecstatic over how good the weekend crew they have are. The man in the pro shop greets me by name is always pleasant and very friendly. The starter is always friendly and engaging, a great guy. The rangers are present friendly and unobtrusive. The cart man is a gentleman. This has quickly become my wife’s and I’s Favorite course we have played around 10 or so times in the last couple of months. Very acomadateing should be the standered for courses everywhere.

Racing the rain

Course was in good shape,soggy from all the rain.
Greens were a little slow but true. Storm came up with a few holes left to play, guys behind us went in,but for the first time there I was under par on back. Finished seconds ahead of heavy stuff shot 35 on back nine.
No way I was leaving.

Nice place

Played on Sunday, GPS took us to a locked back gate
so we were 5 min late for tee time. The man in the Pro shop was very nice,said no problem sent us out. Course was in very good shape, the greens are very slow, takes a while to try and get speed down. Lived here for years and have never played this course before
was very impressed with it and will work it into our rotation. best value so far this year.

Hurry up and then wait

This is a beautiful course but was horribly oversold on the day we played. You would expect that at a local muni not at a course of this stature. We waited on every single shot at times up to 10 or more minutes. Arrived at par 3 7th hole to find a group on the green and three groups waiting on tee box. We waited over 28 minutes to tee off. 3 hour and 15 min at front nine and ended up having to replay the front or it would have been same or longer for back nine. No ranger in sight called Pro shop and they eventually sent out 2 kids who were very nice but had no authority and could only suggest to replay front. This is unacceptable and hopefully not a sign of things to come. We have played this course many times in the past and there would be a clock at the first tee and throughout the course to ensure pace of play. Very disappointed with our experience.

great course

very nice course, greens are huge and fast, not often do you see greens with as may tiers. would have been perfect if very slow group had been made to pick up pace or allowed others to play thru,they caused 4 groups behind them wait on almost every shot, never saw a ranger all day.

good round

rain was on and off and looked bad all day,but we were able to get round in. slow play on front, held us up causing group behind us to press us. stopped at turn and grabbed quick bite and let it clear out ,back was much better.very tough if you are 1st timer lots of trouble with lots of bunkers. greens were true. overall a good test of your skills

Not your everyday course

My wife and I played on Labor day,She has only been playing about a year or so. she found it very hard. From front tee's it is still very long. there are several holes with a strange configuration kinda felt lost on tee as to where or what to hit.green's are fast. The course is like no other i have played around here.I would play it again. We had the lunch included in tee time price ,would do that again,lunch was great, service was wonderful.
