One and Done

Have driven by several times and decided to try it. Here is my take: "No carts allowed in the parking lot." This is a problem due to my age. I had to walk my bag of clubs, and I consider it to be a real inconvenience. Check in was easy, efficient, and pleasant.
Hitting off a mat and not being able to use a tee (no way to pierce the mat) made playing a high stroke deal.
Fairways??? No such thing. Clumpy grass, large barren areas with NO grass. The only parts of the course that appeared to be well kept were the greens, and they were excellent!
The course layout is very compact with the exception of having to cross busy streets.
YOU may think that the tee box locations are obvious, but I do NOT. If it hadn't been for teaming up with two other players who were familiar with the layout, I would have wasted a lot of time and effort deciding the location of the next tee box. It is a good thing I took a driving cart, or I would have been even more tired and frustrated, and with regard to the driving cart, it was old, but OK. At least the brakes worked.
In my opinion, "One and Done" would be my apt assessment.

Cruising the Cruiser

Nice, reasonably challenging 9 hole course. Two minuses: Long walk between holes 1 and 2 and 8 and 10, and thanks to the gopher community, the roughest rough I have ever experienced. The tee boxes, fairways and greens are pretty well kept.

Fun Course

Tee time was 8:22 am. All went well. There was a PGA youth group that was teeing off after us, so that eliminated the possibility of getting a replay. I failed to notice when I booked on Golf Now, that there was a three or four hour tee time gap after 8:22 am. That is not a complaint. the glitch in booking was on me. I play this course mostly during the week. The course is in good shape and the staff and golfers are very friendly.

Nice course...BUT

Pace of play and condition of the course was OK. The only disappointing experience was the condition of the rest room (I think at the sixth hole). There were spray painted gang words on the door, and the inside was flooded. The smell was overwhelming. It seemed to me that the use of a pass code at the door was of no use, since it was easily determined that a ZIP CODE would allow entry. I'm pretty sure that whoever painted up the door had plenty of time at night to figure it out and get in to screw the place up.

Good Time

Played Sept 6th. Smooth playing, no tee waits. There was a scramble of a lady's club outfit that we were unaware of, but Laura made our tee time and recommendations to us that fit right along with that. The enjoyment of this course is only enhanced by the caring and attitude of the staff. I like the new clubhouse, too!

A fair experience

This was my sixth time playing here, and the first time on a week day. Five-somes should not be allowed. This time the pace of play, slow, and front golfers slow, back golfers hitting up on us, probably because of slow play and blind holes. Had to wait for cart to be brought up to us to start play. No Starter, and the Ambassadors were not evident. Also, the "19th Hole" is not very satisfying. Not enough staff to cover the food and bar concessions. Minimum 5 minute wait to get anyone to tend to the bar patronage. On this visit, we gave up after an 8 minute wait to be served. I heard a comment from the food section that "there is more business out here". In a word --- Disappointing.

Always a Good Time

Let me compliment the staff on their friendliness and willingness to accommodate. Original tee time was for two, but three showed up. The staff made it happen that all three of us could tee off together even though the course was busied out. We had a good game and a happy day. Thank you!

God fun

A reasonably challenging executive course. Friendly people everywhere. Pro shop inviting, food good, pace of play excellent. I hate the dips to the creeks, but that's what golf is all about. I always have fun when I play here. My handicap comes in handy.

Wet and muddy.

Slow play pace. Fairways in poor condition. Wet spots all over the course. I have been told that the water table is high there and water seeps up through the ground. If that is not true, the drainage needs to be addressed. There was a shortage of carts, and the one we got had to be replaced after the second hole due to the brakes locking up. I think I will walk the course next time. Renting a cart is counterproductive since many of the fairways are restricted entry.

Slow

OK course, reasonable rates. The pace of play was way too slow. There was a minimum 5 minute wait at all but hole 14. Pace may be different on weekdays. The weekends appear to be moving at a snail's pace.

Lives up to its name

Tough course. fun to play, but if you are less than a very good golfer, your frustration will grow. Play the tees to your skill level and have a better time. Like water? This is the place.
The pace of play is notoriously slow due to course length and difficulty.
