Played here once before, got a great deal and was close to airport, thought would be a good way to kill a little time. Got paired up with a very nice threesome, but the put way too many on the course at one time, I am a club professional and this is not a very easy course, pretty tight and alot of trouble, for the average golfer not an easy course, very windy the day I played and the green were fast, but I thought the pin positions were too tough for the conditions. And it was terribly slow pace, took 3-1/2 hours too play 12 holes, I needed to leave for a pickup at Airport, but i could tell by then that we would not finish before dark. No marshalls late afternoon to push play, got the feeling that they push you out too make room for more players, no well managed, won't be back anytime soon.

I played Architects the first year it opened and havent played since, but only because not in area that much. The overall condition of the course is fair and no better, they are working on the bunkers and a few are G.U.R. you would think that this work would be completed closet no off season.
The outside staff gets A+, courteous and helpful. The kid, and I mean kid was sitting on a stool and never got up.(if I would've see any of my staff with a stool behind counter, they would be fired) not very professional, his clothes were wrinkled and his hair looked like he just woke up. Not good for what there claim of being an upscale facility. I may be over critical and I usually don't write this harsh of a review, but being a Life Member I have to say something.
Now the course rules, we all have our own ideas, but 90 degrees is ok, but once on the fairway you should not leave it until approaching the green, the rough at this course is terrible, all matted down from people driving in it. The starter they're 90 rule was hit your ball and go back to the path. This is why i stopped after 3 hours and 45 minutes at the 14th tee, I could see it was going to be atleast 5 and half hour round. Don't know what happened to this Club, but i would think twice about playing there.

This course doesn't deserve the rating and ranking that it has. I've seen and played over 500 courses in the US and abroad and this place is a joke. They should have a Clowns Head and Windmill on half the greens. The layout is superb but the greens are too undulated if they flatten the greens a bit they would be able too speed them up. The greens were probably rolling about 7.5 to 8. The bunkers also are in need of restoration and detailing. Two(2) of the bunkers were filled with water. If they flatten the greens and make the course more of a value I would probably play there again, if not, they got me once but not again!!! Also it would pay them to have a starter and ranger and place handicaps for recommended tees on scorecard, our pace of play was over 5-1/2 hours.

The course was in surprising good shape for the time of year. The greens were a surprising speed after reading other reviews. The staff was something other than pleasant. Only had one employee working both the proshop and the snack bar.
We got a six pack to start our round and when we got oput on the course discovered that it had an exp. date of July 2012. we immediately drove into the shop and the clerk didnt apologize or offer anything he just gave us another product and blamed it on someone else.
