Ridiculous, layout

I gave this course a port review for a few reasons. The biggest reason is the layout is extremely funky. The holes are way too close to each other and some of the greens are very close to buildings. It’s not in the best shape and the cart rental procedure seems excessive. Basically I’m not a fan and don’t plan to return.

Bunkers need work

First time playing here and really enjoyed the layout and conditions with the exception of the bunkers. Seems like they all need work. If bunkers were in good shape this place would be a gem!

Goodbye CCC

This used to be a very nice golf course but it appears management has decided to let it go. The course is in very bad shape but because it’s in such poor shape there weren’t very many people there. So the pace of play was actually very good.

Starter / ranger?

No starter or ranger which caused confusion about where to go and what do about the slow play. A little common courtesy is all that’s needed.

Slow and odd??

First time playing this course and it appears they’ve rerouted it making it difficult to figure where the next hole is in many cases. No starter on the tee made it a little confusing knowing who was up??? The course was in decent shape and for the money it’s worth playing again and hopefully the slow play was an isolated incident...

Great value

The course is always in good shape and has a variety of tees to accommodate all golfers. Played early AM so pace was not an issue. For under $40 it’s a great value.

Some things never change

Haven’t played here in a while because of slow play. That was the case again today. Just over 5 hours!

It’s a wonderful layout and the bunkers are in pretty good shape. I’d play here again but only if not in a rush.

Great HOT deal

Played this for the first time as a public course after having played it countless times as a private course. The course is taking some abuse but the greens remain the best I’ve played all year.

They decided (for some reason) to switch the order of the holes. Not a fan of that change but the course is still a lot of fun.

Not worth the money

Played here a few times and same old thing...slow pace. Not to mention the starter was a little rude threatening to remove us from the course if we didn’t follow the cart path only rule...keep in mind we hadn’t even teed off yet. The worst part was the greens were in AWFUL shape. Seems like the rule of repairing ball marks should be enforced as hard as the cart path rule. Basically at $40+ this course is not worth it.

Too slow!

This course is always booked to the max! The problem with the North the course is the 10th tee is in the parking lot and they send groups off 10 in front of groups coming off 9. I’d avoid this place moving forward. Same story every time I come here.

Call ahead

We had a 1230 tee time and when we arrived at 12 we discovered they had a shotgun outing going off right in front us. This led to 6 holes taking nearly 3 hours! We ended up just skipping to 15 and played 15-18 but hit another log jam when got back to 1. We just left after only playing 1-6 and 15-18.

Nice course

Overall a very nice course. Challenging layout and in good shape. Cart path only due to some rain but pace still good. Only problem was the bunkers didn’t seem to drain and most were unplayable. I’d play it again.

Good value

Course was crowded so played slowly but in nice shape. Bunkers in good shape as well. Halfway house was open and fully stocked. Would play again under a hot deal and hope for better pace.

Overall a nice round. Tee time 1:10, course was wide open so pace was very good. Greens still need some work along with bunkers but still a fun layout.

Not a must play

Played early in the season so course not in great shape but the 9th hole was under construction. In addition no starter so people weren’t grouped and therefore slow play.

Good news bad news

Fairly slow round due to a slow group in front of us. Good news is the ranger was out but the bad news is he decided to tell every group to pick up the pace instead of the guilty group. He upset multiple groups instead of the one group causing the delay. Kind of a funky layout but some cool holes mixed in.

2 different 9's

This course has two different nine's. The front is pretty straightforward with most of the holes going straight out and straight back. very short course under 6000 yards. The back nine has more elevation changes and doglegs. Course is kept in pretty good condition.
