First they were so low on carts we had to wait and hope one came available before our tee time. Then starting with the 3rd home there were 2-3 groups on every tee box and the round was nearly 5 1/2 hours with waits on every shot. There are two holes that are just ridiculous from a playability standpoint and a few others that are overly difficult for the many.

I don’t generally write many reviews but in this case I feel it’s necessary. The layout is good despite being fairly short, however the potential to stretch it out a bit is there. The main issues were conditions and pace of play. I understand that the course recently over seeded and it takes a bit to get it into solid shape. The greens had pit marks all over plus were extremely bumpy and slow. They are in desperate need of a good sand top-dressing after tining or plugging. There were multiple plugged balls on the greens.

The fairways were so over-watered every single shot had chunks of mud to be cleaned off. The gripe I have is that they charged $150 for those playing conditions.

Then pace of play was atrocious because of a couple slow groups and the twosome in front of us don’t belong on a normal course with their ability level. They hit multiple times from every spot because their shots either dribbled a few yards or blasted out to the right terribly. Then they would be sitting waiting for greens to clear while nearly 200 yards out which they never hit a single shot that far the whole day. One of them was a kid who works at the course. They need to practice more on par 3 courses or pick up sooner on the holes. The kid even picked up one of my balls that went over a mound between holes and I would have never gotten it back if I hadn’t been right there looking before they left the tee box.

The work they’ve put in to get the course in good shape after the unfortunate irrigation system incident last summer left most the greens and a lot of the fairways in horrible shape. Most of the greens are in good shape, just a few spotty areas and they’re keeping them just a little long as they continue to recover. Everything else is in good shape. I’ve really liked this course a lot and I’m glad to see it playing well again! Definitely be back again soon and am hoping they can get back to the smooth fast greens!

It was unfortunate that our pace was so slowed down and there were a handful of groups, ours was the last, squeezed in between an outing that went off shotgun. We were only able to finish 14 holes which took 4.5 hours at which point it was becoming too dark to see even had we wanted to continue waiting 5-10 minutes on every tee box. That was with one group quitting directly in front of us after 9. Not to mention the “lead” group for the tournament continuously coming up on us while we waited for the group in front of us to clear, blasting music and generally being loud and distracting while we hit tee shots. They really had no respect for any form of politeness towards our experience. Saw someone from the course ride through once but not stop to speak to anyone about anything. Zero management of the pace of play and more than half of the tee boxes we would have two groups waiting to tee off for at least a 3-5 minutes.

Other than that, the course conditions were fine and the greens were super slick and had a few pin positions which were absolutely unfair due to the speed. A number of them you would roll the ball up to the cup and it would stop just past and then roll 3-5 feet or in some cases more back towards you.

I really wanted to enjoy the course after reading the other reviews, however this was one of my least enjoyable rounds in recent memory.
