Tough and narrow at times but we’ll kept. Could use a hole map to get yardage to hazards.

Love this course but not the five hour round

This is one of my favorite courses, every hole presents a different challenge and it is always in good shape. However, the pace of play has gotten very slow here, unfortunately like many other courses though. Perhaps they need to increase the tee time intervals from 8 1/2 to 9 or 9 1/2 minutes and have a ranger enforcing slow play? Until this improves, I unfortunately can't recommend playing this course.

Fun, Target Golf

Always enjoy playing here. Layout is fun and greens were in nice shape for early in this wet spring season. Pace can be slower during peak times, but it has always moved along well when I have visited on weekdays. Renovations are being completed on the clubhouse which include the addition of indoor simulators. Excited to see how it turns out when completed.

Windy weather
Walked

Nice layout, friendly staff

First time playing the course. Course conditions were just OK since it's the start of the season and course received heavy rains the previous day. It was cart path only and contributed to SLOW play. We were backed up after the first hole. Conditions would greatly improve if other golfers bothered to rake the bunkers and fix their divots and ball marks. Worth giving it another try. Very friendly staff and new improvements coming to the clubhouse.
