Be wary of the sun

Love this course. It is a lot of fun. Greens were terrific, nice and fast. Fairways nice. Course always makes you think.

Tough to see the ball this time of year. If it goes out of play, don't expect to find it. Too many leaves.

As the sun sets, pace of play slows to a crawl. Expect a backup on the back nine as groups stack up. I feel you have a later tee time, consider getting there early- but don't always expect them to let you out...

Fun time, not the cheapest deal around, but very enjoyable course.

Greens still smooth

Very glad to see that they put off aeration of greens. They were still smooth and played quite fair- lots of ball marks- but these did not affect the nature of the game.

Fun layout. Don't play a slice with the wind... the ball will just keep going and going...

Gross greens, absent staff

When you see this $100 hotdeal, don't expect a $100 course. Range had free balls, but greens were attacked by fungus making a large part of the course in poor condition. Fairways were navigable by creating better lies but greens were generally unacceptable. Staff was indifferent to pace of play and tee times. When I went to the tee box where I expected two other players there was no one, but by the second hole pace of play was so slow that we waited on nearly every hole over the 18 with no intervention by passing staff. I wasn't really sure what to make of this experience, slightly miffed, but enjoyed the layout, but not worth as much as the advertised price.

Risk reward

Greens are mostly smooth and true. Some ball marks to navigate. Fun course with reachable PAR 4s and 5s depending on wind direction with punishable overly ambitious shots. Play it conservatively for a good score or go for it on 4s and 5s. Fun layout. Play it more than once.

Nice place

It's been a while since I've played, but greens were nice and challenging and rolled smooth when they were not near an aeration. Some challenging and thoughtful shots into greens. Had a good time, played well, and hit the ball well off the tee. Very easy to get off track if this is not you. Postulated that a couple holes near the highway were trimmed to put in I-91, but overall the layout is familiar and playable. A couple odd blind shots, but mostly straight forward and enjoyable

Classic layout

First time playing. Small greens, smooth, soft and not too fast which was perfect for the style of course, classic layout, lots of layup holes, narrow driving areas, lots of fades off of tee boxes, but generally comfy with clear landing areas, for the most part, and approachable greens.
Fairways were dryer than dry as were the rough but generally playable with longer rough thick with some burnt out patches on fairways and off, but a very enjoyable round and enjoyable layout. Look forward to playing it a second time if possible.

Single rider

Had a great day overall.

Showed up early, checked in, inquired about whether I would be paired up and received a you can do whatever you want response. Since I was visiting relatives nearby I decided to play as a single.

Made it to the 16th hole before being backed up by a foursome. Made great time and had a great afternoon with my niece and nephews later that day.

I must have offended someone along the way. Not sure who, but now the course is no longer offering single reservations. As a single golfer this bothers me. I've showed up early and the golfers had already teed off, and unless the staff has made it a point to pair up the foursome, I have usually played with whoever was immediately available or alone. I feel perhaps I should apologize to whoever I had offended. I had a great day but must have trampled upon someones shoes at some point along the way.

The course was nice. The greens were a little rough from their method of aeration. It looks like they use a raking method which leaves rows on the greens. Still very playable. The fairways were exceptional. I enjoy the holes and the new layout mixes up the back nine and makes the course quite enjoyable. A couple of new dogleg lefts were awkward. It's too easy to drive it straight through the fairway. The new 17th par 5 will be quite a challenge now that I know the layout. No slope or course rating yet.

6,000 yds from blue, not 4400!

Course was tight. Very narrow fairways. Lots of long par 3s. 6 total. Par 5s were short, tight, and greens well guarded. Greens were hard and fast, a couple were aerated and generally poor. Worth checking out. Don't lose your head! Par 70.
