Greens were in better shape than most courses I’ve played all year. Amazing considering it was December! Overall very good. The be complaint would be pace of play and lack of control by the course. I called to add a player to our twosome and was told our time slot was full as they had paired us with two others. On arrival to the course we were told we were going to be paired with a 3 some instead. The 3 some didn’t want to do that so we ended up playing with just the two of us. With another 5-
Some in front of us. I’d just ask for consistency, and not to put 5-somes on the course for speed of play.

Beautiful course and in good shape for the time of year. However, our awesome day was dampened by an incredibly slow 3-some two groups in front of us. Each of them had their own cart which should speed things up...but didn’t! Endlessly looking for balls, when theirs weren’t even lost...taking several minutes once in the cart by the green (assuming to discuss scoring?)...it was crazy with at least 4 groups backed up behind them. Apparently no ranger or starter on duty yesterday. It is the courses obligation to speed people like this along! Before I book again I will ask if they have a ranger that day. We had to quit after 17 holes in 4 hours and 45 min!

Spent WAY too much time today searching for something to tell us how far we were from the green. Some holes had concrete colored squares mid fairway but had to guess what black meant and blue etc. other holes had stripes on the cart path but if you were on the other side of the fairway couldn’t see that. They also had a scramble outing going on at the same time as our round and had closest to the pin markers o. The greens on par 3s - just kinda annoying. If they fix the marking issue and stop scheduling that way, I’d like this course!
