I Recommend This Course
Excellent course but very slow pace of play
This is a links-style course with wide, forgiving fairways on most holes and relatively few trees that come into play. The course is well maintained and attractive. The pace of play on the day I visited ranged from slow to very slow. On almost all of the 18 holes, we waited 5 to 10 minutes to tee off. This was not due to a single group but apparently an accumulation of delays from several slow groups. The course marshal drove through a few times but did not seem to speak with anyone about the pace or make a difference in the result. I would be reluctant to play this course again with it running an hour slower than advertised. Maybe this was just a particularly bad day, as the starter said the front 9 should be 2 hrs and the back 9 2:15.
