Overpriced for average course. No beverage cart or ranger.

I've played here more than a half dozen times in the last few years. This was my first time since the spring. Full disclosure, I had a GN discount code, but I would not pay the full asking price to play here. No beverage cart girl on any of the days (one weekday, multiple going back to last fall) and 90% weekends we played- none. No ranger too to help enforce when its slow play. Hardly anyone repaired their green side ball marks to make putting more like a putt-putt course as almost every green was promised one or more big bounces. Must be short on staff too because the club house lady (she was very polite and professional) was overwhelmed with what looked like an earlier outing and didn't have time to put on any more hot dogs etc. (anything on the grill). Additionally, we saw a sign that said the range was closing early on Sunday's (4pm). As they are one of the few, if only, grass practice ranges in the area, it only creates more a bottle neck when trying even just get in some range practice. Tee boxes, fairways are nice when it's rained but the rest of the course is usually battling standing water every time it rains in multiple areas and most bunkers were unplayable with standing water and nowhere close to ideal to hit out of. It is what it is as it used to be a garbage dump site decades ago.

Great Saturday round

Even for high noon tee time pace was solid, course was beautiful after having had heavy rains Thursday night. Greens and tee boxes were excellent.

Nice Course- No Push on League Groups

Round took almost 3 hours to play 9 holes on a weekday. League groups in front were awfully slow and saw a ranger on #3 but not again the rest of the evening. Pace of play side, solid course and value for price. Already booked another round here.

Tale of two 9's - TOUGH Greens

Front 9, no holes designed to use driver aside #1 par 5. Back 9, more direct, some fairway pot bunkers. Played on a Sunday and it was PACKED and delayed. Only complaint is that those greens are pretty hard and yield not many birdie tries unless you stick it within 7 feet.

Wet, Sloped Greens

This course should have a few blind turn bells for trailing groups. I was actually hit, 40 yards beyond a green, at the next tee box by a trailing group- no "fore" yelled or anything and the path clearly leads to the next tee box. The following tee shot, they ripped one 5-10 feet through our tee box and almost hit me again. I was livid. Staff need to make sure their golfers know the proper etiquette and golfers aught to know such simple etiquette. Hard to concentrate after almost having your male reproductive organ and face hit. Aside from that, not a bad course. I'll play here again a few times a year. Shot an 83 with a triple and a double, just one birdie.

We're sorry to learn you didn't have a smooth sailing round due to the group behind you. We hope you'll give us another shot in the near future.

Fun Course

Ignoring the wet conditions that every course had to endure, this layout forces you to be club conscious as fairways end 3 Wood and force you to carry to 270 to the next one. Just enough creeks, fairway bunkers and greenside bunkers, but large enough greens to compensate. Greens were solid! I would love to see how this course plays out when dry/prime summer. Tee-off Ranger was very friendly and I will assuredly return to this course. They have a cart girl on Sundays in April! First one so far this year I've had. She is very pleasant. Also they have "Player Assistance" crew acting as part light maintenance and rules gurus. Great idea! And they're not out there to harass golfers. Just an added bonus.

Haven’t played here since HS back in 2002. But boy, was this course brutal. Ignoring the wet conditions, this course has too many blind shots. Tee shots and approach where you can’t see the green or the pin from normal hole elevation. You really have to know the layout prior. Only complaint I have is that for a par 71, there are too many long par 3s. Almost all but one were 195+. The greens were very bouncy and the greens ran true once the sun came out. They should eliminate one or two of the ridiculous pot bonkers. I slipped coming up the wood steps and that could have been a serious injury since the one green-side was about a 20+ foot drop.

Narrow and creeks require solid irons!

This course is incredible. Played on Memorial Weekend Sunday. Had a 30 minute tee off delay. Not many holes for big bomber drivers and you have to be on your iron game and ball striking to avoid the many creek hazards and OB markers that come into frequent play. This was a tough course and I played in high school and golf regularly. For an 80s handicap golfer, this will challenge you. Yard markers could be bigger for visual pick up. Even maybe add yardage markers to certain blind tee shots.
