Mediocre at best!

Course conditions were abysmal! The amount of not only bare spots on fairways but also on greens was inexcusable. The front nine was decent, but all greens had either bare spots or weeds growing on the surface. Hopefully ownership will change and renovations will help course conditions. Other than that, the weather was nice.

Abysmal

The course itself could use a little(lots) of love. The greens were in decent shape(of the 13 I putted on). That’s about where the positives end. The pace of play was dismal. It took 3 hours to play 12 holes...the course was beyond backed up, with either over booking, or with whatever happened, but it seems to happen every time I attempt to play there. I’d like to say it’s a good value for the money, but if you have 5-6 hours of nothing to do but be frustrated by waiting 10 minutes or more between every shot, it’s a huge waste of time and money, however little it might be.

Great course for the money...course was immaculate, greens were true and fast, bunkers were great. Couldn’t have had a better course in the area to shoot almost 100 haha

Nice course

First time playing...loved the layout...the spasm sucked along with a few other holes due to not knowing where the miss is, but it’s a fair course that’s in excellent shape. The greens are true, bunkers are great, and everything is maintained as it should be. The clubhouse should be spectacular when complete as well. I definitely recommend the course for anyone that’s looking for a new place to play for a good price.

Different!

The course for me was very different than most I have ever played. It was short...but challenging. It has huge greens in comparison to some courses I have played. With this course playing under 6300, it still has the ability to penalize you with a narrow tee shot here and there. I enjoyed the round with the exception of slow play(didn’t pair up any groups that booked separately), but was able to play through with folks that had good etiquette. Overall a very good experience. The greens rolled true(a little slow but true), and the fairways weren’t cut super close and manicured, but they were decent for a muni style course.

Slow

Went to play with my kids(9 and 6) and was met with friendly faces. I was told to have my kids 6ft apart from me while I'm course although we were in the same cart riding around. I was watched closely on course and was talked to several times by the ranger telling me that people were complaining about our "slow" play even though we caught groups in front of us, and left the groups behind us. We were then slowed to a snail's pace on the back(1 hour to play 4 holes), so we turned around and headed back to the clubhouse, meeting the ranger on our way back to let him know the issue they were facing as he headed into the back 9.

Slow

Went out to play early(second tee time of the day) and thought it would be alright. Was I wrong! First got behind a group of three that eventually let me play through since I was single(only took 5 holes) and then I was met with the member shot gun or whatever it was at 9 am. I was not only slowed by one group, but multiple groups stacked with some being double teed, so I left, not finishing my round bc of the incredibly slow pace.

Rainy, but good

Played in the rain unfortunately, and the course was switched to oath only, but its in good shape. Fairways are luscious(bit too much at times), but they are in great shape as are the greens. The greens played slow due to the rain, but overall the course was in way better shape than I remember from previous rounds.

Testy

Greens were very quick but we'll maintained. Found a few bunkers but they were maintained as well making it easy to get out of. For the money I would highly recommend this course. I will definitely play it again.

Eh...

First off, everyone is still dealing with COVID-19...with that being said, I was charged extra for a separate cart so that I wouldn't be riding with a stranger. Other than that ..the course was what I expected...nothing special about it... relatively short (hit hybrid on most par 4s), greens were in ok shape.

Slow is an understatement

Played it for the second time and it didn't disappoint. Course conditions were great, greens were true, tees were good, bunkers were raked and in great shape(ask me how I know lol) and fairways/rough were great as well. Only drawback was the pace of play. The group I was paired with kept getting held up by the group in front of us (our three being held up by 3 and then eventually 2). It took just over 4.5 hours to play 18(granted path only play, but still incredibly slow) due to the group not knowing how to play ready golf. It would be recommended that maybe staff be on course to move groups along to keep pace of play moving.

Nice day on course

Course was in good shape as expected since I played it a week ago. Pace of play was incredibly slow on the back due to people from God knows where going off the back instead of the front making it extremely congested. There wasn't a ranger out on course to speed up pace or to make sure people were going off the correct 9. Other than that, course was in good shape, greens were true, fairways lush, and rough in good shape as well.

Scrutiny

Played the course with my son under the covid 19 conditions. Course was temporarily closed due to public scrutiny before reopening after a few days. I was out to play golf with my 9 year old son since that's one of the only things we can do currently, and I was belittled by the starter for being within 6 ft of my son. Yeah, my son that lives in the same household, that rode in the same vehicle I did to get to the course, and the one I take care of. I told him that the restrictions didn't apply to those who lived within the same household, yet I continued to be belittled because he hadn't read that anywhere and was really trying to push for my 9 yr old(of which ya know, doesn't have a license and most courses require a driver's license for any operation of a golf cart due to insurance) to be in a separate cart and to be 6ft away from me. In the end, my son had a good day and enjoyed himself.

Quick...and blind

Greens were super quick...which was alright...but I declined to play the back due to Pace of play and the amount of elevation change....the course was challenging to say the least. The course was in decent shape, greens good, but bunkers definitely need attention. A starter is needed or better spacing between groups due to having a min of 8-10 min between shots.

Good layout

It's definitely a shot makers course. Had a good layout with many challenging approach shots. Course is bunkered well and was a great value. The pace of play was terrible especially for during the week and early afternoon at that. I would recommend for anyone to give the course a go.

Difficult but fun

Course has some very intimidating tee boxes with shots over water. Has a pretty good layout and some long par 3 holes. Had a great time and with the weather that occurred the week prior, the course was in Bette than expected shape.

Slow play

Even though I became frustrated with the slow play of a group in front of me, the course made up for it. The course had very receptive greens and some very wide fairways that made for good play. I would recommend this course for a "bang for your buck" deal.

Forgiving

With the super wide fairways and large greens it's a very forgiving course, but with strategic pin placements and large green side bunkers accuracy is a must in order to make par. Played this course about 5 years ago and it hasn't changed much. The course(north + west) were open with the south course getting maintenance. I really enjoyed the course and this round became the third time I have shot 80...
