Short and slow

Course was in great condition considering how dry it was the past week. Tee boxes were good except for previous players consistently leaving their tees. Greens were in good shape, bunkers were in great shape.

For a short course, the pace was very slow because of the two groups in front of us. It's a small local course so I wasn't expecting golf etiquette but common sense should have been used. Multiple times, both groups in front of us tee off multiple times, even with people waiting. No care for the course either with carts being driven right up to the greens, within 5 feet.

Afternoon Round

3pm Tee Time was only 10 minutes behind schedule due to an event that day. Seemed like the pace of play was ok on the front 9 but at the turn, it slowed down quite a bit. No sign of Marshall at all. Basically played speed golf the last 3 holes.

Course was in good shape. Tee boxes were good, greens were good. Some minor issues that needed attention, mainly because of players not repairing their divots.

Overall, I was happy with the course that day but the pace of play is always an issue later in the day. Barely finished the round.

Slight frost delay, still fast round

30 degree Temps in the morning caused a slight frost delay. Course dried up nicely by hole 5. Fairways and greens were in great shape. Tee boxes are in need of some care on the Par 3s. Alot of broken tees left on the tee box.

Overall, very happy with the round.

Couldn't ask for a better course

Finally made it here and I will be returning soon. Every hole was in great shape as if it was the beginning of the year. Tee boxes were well maintained. Fairways were perfect, greens were ideal. Fescue was recently cut so even those bad shots that got away, I was able to find. I can see the fescue being a serious issue when they are higher but that's a player's issue. Great views all around. Will be back soon.

Rainy Day but course played well

Scattered rain all morning but the course held up well. Only negatives were the tee boxes and the bunkers. I know we are later in the season but the Tee boxes had a lot of divots, holes, and just needed to be maintained. Started teeing 2 yards behind the markers. Bunkers need to be maintained a bit more. Well at least players need to do their part after playing from it.

7:40 Tee Time

Perfect day for golf. Club/Lake course was in great condition. Pace of play was good even though it was July 4th and had many golfers out on the course. Slower group in front of us and finished in 4:30. Couldn't ask for a better round. Staff was friendly, pricing was good. Always enjoy this course.

First Round of Season

Course was in good condition, considering all the rain we had the previous two days. It was cart path only so our group walked. Greens were in great condition but slow.
Fairways were very soft but I blame the rain for that.

Great Day As Always

Great course, Great condition on Fairways. Tee boxes were a little overgrown on some holes. Bunkers were a little hard on some holes as well but maintained. Early morning tee time so it was a bit damp but it was a great round. Staff was great, course was excellent to play on. Under 4 hours for our group. Always enjoy this course.

Still in recovery

Course was in fair condition considering how much heavy rain hit it the past two days. Cart Path only today, so I walked and still managed a round just under 3 hours. Tee boxes and greens were in good condition. Fairways were thicker than normal but that I would think is because of the weather and maintenance not able to cut as frequent. Last 4 holes were in perfect condition compared to the rest of the course. I saw alot of improvement compared to the last time I played here.

Clear Day

Course was in fair condition considering the storm that hit the area the day before. Only a couple swampy spots on some holes and a couple bunkers were under water. Pace of play was excellent since no one was on the course. 6a.m. Tee time and finished by 9a.m. Very happy that I didn't cancel my round.

Short but good course

Good course to work on your swing. Nice layout and course was well maintained. Greens were in good shape but the bunkers were like concrete. Short course but I knew that when booking. Nice walking course and overall was in good shape.

One hour frost delay but turned out to be like 45 minutes. Pace was excellent and luckily a few foursomes only played the front 9.

Fairways were cut short and in good condition. Anywhere else, you have a tough time finding your ball since the grass was so high but being so late in the year, I wasn't expecting it to be perfect. Definitely a nice open course to get the most out of your driver.

Greens were in excellent condition. A little slow from all the water, but I was very pleased with overall condition.

Will be back when the temps go back up.

November Golf

Course was in Great condition considering all the rain we had for 2 days prior. Fairways and greens were clear of leaves. Greens were slow speed due to all the rain. I was able to stay out of the bunkers but they were average condition. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Pace of play was good too.
First time playing here and can't wait to play in the warmer months.

Overall, I was very happy playing today.

November Golf

55° degrees @ 8:30am Scheduled Tee Time. Got to 70° as the day went on.
20 Minute Delay which set the pace for the day. Slow groups in front of us.

Tee boxes were in decent shape. Repaired quite a bit on certain holes but well maintained. Fairways were in good condition. Clear of leaves and divots were repaired. Made for some extra distance on tee shots. Bunkers could use a little more care but for November, they were decent. Greens were clean, decent speed and pin placement today was good for all holes. Some repairs needed on back 9 greens due to some rough patches.

Food from the grill was great. Definitely take advantage of pre-ordering your food if you can on the 8th or 9th hole. Cart drinks fairly priced and very cold.

Overall, I was happy with the course. Looks like they are making alot of repairs and additions to create a better experience.

Fall Ball at its finest

Course was in excellent condition. 50 degrees, slight breeze. Slight wait towards the last 4 holes but that was due to slightly slow play ahead of us. Tee boxes were well maintained. No complaints from the Blue tees. Fairways were clear and rough was well maintained. Greens were clear, well kept and good speed.

Very pleased with the overall condition of the course.

Last minute reservation which turned out to be a great time. Course staff is organized and informative. Accomodated single person cart use but walking the course is not difficult or over exhausting. Used a cart since it was my first time but wouldn't mind walking next time.

Fairways were in great condition. Greens were perfect. Bunkers were clean and rough was well maintained. Forgiving course for mishitting drives but definitely a good course to visit.
