Too many people

No one playing this course is a professional… this is not a country club. The times NEED to be more spread out! Tee times separated by just 8 minutes is a joke. Nearly $60 play here and it was never worth it. You’re either waiting for every shot or getting rushed and there is no in between. Im a mid-low handicap and my pace of play is never an issue yet im being rushed on this course so they can push as many people through as quickly as they can to make as much money as they can. Its pathetic. Instead of ensuring a nice experience and making sure their customers are happy… once they have your money, they don't care. Very sad because this is a nice course with a nice layout but i never felt welcomed on the course from the first hole on. I wont be back till they change the times.

Course crowdedness

They let way too many people out too quickly. Caused course to be extremely over crowded. Waiting 15 min between each hole.

Great Players Course

Player friendly layout with enough hazards to encourage a little thought but enough space to allow even 20+ handicappers to avoid big mistakes if they’re careful. Well maintained course and pleasant round!

Great course!

Loved the course! The greens are tricky but as a new player I had a lot of fun! Will definitely be coming back. Did get lost looking for Hole 10 though but was still a blast!

Tee times

The only issue is they don't honor tee times. You could book it days in advance and when you show up there's people on tee box that just walked on. That makes us wait pretty much on every hole.
That happened to me couple times already. Usually the back nine they either pick up ball and move or quit after nine.

4:45 hrs to play 18 on a Monday at 10:00

Challenging course with lots of hills but didn’t care for the cart paths running through the fairways and pace of play was poor.
