We had a later tee time to take advantage of the deal time and while hitting balls on the range, the starter came up to us and asked if we wanted to tee off 40 minutes early. Yes, thank you very much! The facilities were good and the staff were great. We knew we were in for a slower round when we reached the second tee and the group ahead of us was still waiting to hit. Disappointing, but not unexpected during the weekend. Pace was slow, but not terrible the first 8 holes, taking 2 hours and 15 minutes for the first 8. When we reached the 9th tee, we were the 4th group waiting to tee off! Yep, you read that right, 4 groups on the 9th tee. Not what you want to see any time, but especially when you tee off 5 hours before sunset and now you realize that 5 or 6 hours was not going to be enough! The course needs to manage the pace of play better. Needless to say, we are not coming back

I expect the pace of play to be a bit slower during the weekend, but this was ridiculous - 16 holes in 5 hours!! When asked, the starter said that we were a bit behind on tee times. It turns out that the group that booked 4 tee times from 2:00 to 2:30 was allowed to send off 6 groups at the expense of everyone behind them! They even let the first group of the 6 to tee off with 5 player, which is normally strictly forbidden. The 5some could not keep up, falling 2 holes behind. The worst part was that the groups behind them couldn't keep up either - the 6 groups often were so spread out that they often were on 4 separate holes. I would expect to be able to play 18 holes when i tee off 5 hours before sunset, but because the course slipped in 2 extra slow 4somes,we were only able to play 16 holes before it got dark! I'm not playing there ever again

Almost everything was top notch! Course conditions, pace of play, the staff, speed of greens were all great. It's a small thing, but they are the only course we have played that charges an additional service fee on top of what I paid online. This hidden fee was not revealed when I booked and paid online

Simply stated, they are trying to make an extra buck off of COVID by taking advantage of us golfers. I booked a tee time for the 4 of us on GolfNow for $49 each plus $10 in booking fees. The rate INCLUDED the golf cart. Since I am older and have pre-existing conditions, I asked for another cart to be on the safe side because of COVID-19. The guy in the pro shop then charged me an extra $20 for the cart, even though my rate included the cart. You would think that since we need to socially distance because of COVID, that they would be more like many of the golf courses in the area and accommodate golfers that require a separate cart. I will not be golfing there in the future, and since I am the one in charge of booking tee times for 4 different foursomes, neither will the other 15 of us

Everything about the course was good to excellent except for the greens, which need a lot of help. The greens were bumpy and several areas had no grass. Only 2 or 3 of the greens rolled good, all the others were so bad that the ball had no chance of rolling along the intended line

If you like a course for the sheer beauty, this course is for you. If you like a course for the challenge, this course is for you. From the back tees, it will humble you - it's all that most can handle from the blue tees, and from the white tees, it's almost easy. Palmer did a great job fitting the course to the land. Some of the holes favor the draw and some favor the fade, but you are not forced you to play one shot or the other. The greens are big, so expect a few more putts than normal. Put this course on your bucket list.

Today was the first time I played this course - it won't be the last! The course layout and conditions were great, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent (I highly recommend the chicken cashew sandwich that I had). The Sunday Brunch looked good too - maybe we'll get there early enough next time to enjoy that too! If you like to hit practice balls, get there early because the range is a long way from the club house.

I booked the course partly because it was halfway between me and my sister, partly because it was a great rate and partly because I like to walk. It was a walking rate with a walking symbol! When I checked in, I was given the run around by the attendant in the pro shop. It was a hot deal and I believed that all fees were paid in advance - just like every other hot deal I had ever booked - boy I was wrong. The attendant said that I owed another $12 for the cart fee. I told him that I didn't need a cart because I intended to walk and this is where the run-around started!!! First he said that they did not allow golfers to walk. When asked why, he replied that it was unsafe to walk because other golfers couldn't see a walker and they would hit into me - have you ever heard of a line of total nonsense? I had a white shirt on and I'm a BIG guy, no way they wouldn't see me! I told him that I booked a walking round and he said that GolfNow was in error and that they were not really affiliated with GolfNow. Somewhere in our conversation, the attendant slipped up and said that they don't RECOMMEND walking. Wait, didn't they say that walking is not allowed? (and therefore they could charge a mandatory cart fee) The attendant changed their story when I said that I'll pay the $12, but I still wanted to walk anyway, to which he said, ok, have a nice round. All of a sudden walking was allowed!!""!! The golf course was fine, but I will not play there again because I won't do business with shifty people and nor should you.
