Value but frustrating

We got off on time but we ended up behind a fivesome. These were obviously members and the course seems to tolerate this. There was no marshal at any time. Fortunately this group only played 9 and the pace was then terrific. We had not played this course for about 5 years and there have been major changes on the back 9. Those changes have made the course very tight and some of the holes were quite frankly unfair.

Very busy day

We have played this wonderful course before and there has never been any pace issues. There sure was today. We had a 2:30 tee off and should have been able to get the round in but unfortunately we ended up finishing after 15 due to the slow pace of play. The marshal was around on the first 3 or 4 holes but then never seen again.

Course was still in excellent condition and the traps were also in good shape.

Great round

It had been 2 years since we last played this track and I have to wonder why we didn’t get back sooner. Clubhouse staff was excellent and even though we had heavy rains the night before there was no standing water in the course, only in a few of the bunkers. Greens were excellent and very receptive and fairways firm and running out well. After the round we went for the $5 beer and hot dog deal and enjoyed it. Served with their special home made chips. All in all a great day.

Disappointing

Really like playing two different courses. The first 12 holes would qualify as cow pasture. The final 6 holes were very nice. Greens had been top dressed so difficult to rate. Overall they were small but receptive. Not worth the price when compared to others. On the positive note we stopped for lunch after the round and the food service and value were excellent!

Nice but very slow play

Greens were in excellent shape. Fairways are brown but still soft enough to make a good divot. Pace was extremely slow and we were late starting as they did not have carts available. We were told AFTER the round that they had a large tournament that day and most of the rounds were taking 5-6 hours. We finished almost in darkness even though we had a 1.36 tee off. Considering the amount paid we were not happy.

Great day

Took advantage of a hot deal to play this course. Very pleasant greeting by staff and starter. We found the course in excellent shape and greens were fast but fair. Track is nicely laid out and some very nice holes.

Great round

Course was in excellent condition and greens were terrific. Pace was slow due to a tournament so not really course issue.

Needs maintenance

I had played this course about six years ago and was very disappointed with the condition. The fairways we hard as a rock and the rough was very long. In fact we had a hard time even finding a ball when it was three feet off the fairways.

Very pretty track

Rough start to the day when there was only 1 person on duty as they had not expected a busy day and were having computer challenges. When we finally got on the course it is a bit confusing as the clubhouse is not completed yet and the hole alignment is not organized. They tell us that the clubhouse is scheduled to be completed next year. Course was in excellent condition and the greens were lightening fast. Pin placements were mostly fair though a few on slopes and sidehills made them very challenging. Hitting into greens was not good as some are fairly narrow front to back and even when you hit the front of the green you went off the back. Some very pretty holes but almost every hole has a large carry from the tee so very challenging for the average player.

Great value and courtesy

I booked for a single "hot deal" and was treated with courtesy. Staff was friendly. Ponds were very low but greens were in good shape and held well and tracked well.

Beautiful track but needs attention

This has the potential to be a great golf course but perhaps due to weather conditions about 4 days earlier the course was still very wet. Drainage does not appear to be adequate as after 4 days of sunshine you would expect more. Tee box divots had not been filled and sand containers on carts were not filled so there were many fairway divots not filled as well. Carts were not wiped down even though we were teeing off after 9:30 am. Very picturesque track though and many challenging holes. This is the second time this year to play and conditions were similar both times.
