Not updated
First, the staff was great! They were helpful and accommodating throughout.
The golf course was not in acceptable playing conditions. I read reviews and can’t believe that they are real after visiting this course. There was not one ranger and the round took 5 hours and 35 minutes. The pictures are a complete sham depicting the course from years past.
Painful Experience
Five plus hour round. Zero ranger presence. For all the rain we had there was an awful lot of dead spots. Greens like a dusty pool table. Used to be worth the drive in high season.
Good condition
Played very early on that day, nobody was in front of us so pace of play was great. Greens and fairways were in great condition. Sand trap were ok. Some of the rough need some work but overall ok.
Windy Day on the Course
Since we have played the course many times I know what to expect in general. This time we found the tee boxes to be extremely hard and very difficult yo place tees in the ground. This despite the rain that has fallen this year. If the tee boxes could get some attention that would really be appreciated.
Good surprise
Besides the condition of fairway and some greens this course is very good. I really like. I will be back soon
Nice course
I’ve been playing this course for few year now. It’s in better shape than it has been but it requires a real good clean up some areas. Keep it on the fairway and you’ll be okay. It can play very long if that’s your choice.
Greens were very good but fairways left a lot to be desired
Played this couple 5or 6 times this year
Always enjoy it
Hidden Jem
Always a great day to come out and Tee Off.
Only can play 5800 to 6100 and the game is enjoyable.
Tee boxes almost flat , Fairways good, Greens were faster as they dry out “ Great shape.
Hot Dogs are the best stop after 9 or 18 holes.
