Over priced play

This is is very friendly for people who are just starting to play the game, tee box to fairways are pretty open and the greens are very inconsistent when it comes to the speed the ball rolls at. Over all 3.5 stars for the overall course and very friendly for beginners but pretty pricy for where you play.

Good Course in Good Condition

Overall, course was in good condition with smooth, fast greens. My only complaint was the depth of the first - and only - cut of the rough. It was ridiculously deep grass with no transition. Only other gripe was lack of water on the course on a fairly hot day. Have played this course many times and it's generally in good shape and a decent value.

Great Course

I was in the Woodstock area and happened to drive by this course a few weeks ago. Just driving by it looked like a nice course. Got to play today and what a treat it was. Loved the layout and also how challenging some of the holes were. The rough was extremely challenging so best to hit accurately onto the short grass. Definitely coming back!

Worst round of the year

The design of this course is nice, much potential. I felt the fairways were nice and open, not too much water in play. The sand bunkers were very hard, not much sand. However the maintenance of this course was NOT good. There were many many massive clumps of grass so big they could hide a ball covering fairways and rough areas. There was some grass on the rough so long I knew exactly where I hit my ball but it was gone I couldn't find it. There was some grass 12 inches long and thick. It ate my balls. Looking for balls this much will slow down play. The staff I saw was very friendly but we had no beverage cart out there, no water coolers and coming in on the turn we were not close enough to the club house to really stop off and get anything. Here was the big problem, pace of play was soo bad. We took 5.5 hours to finish. Part of this was the fools out there and I think they had an outing on the course that day making a mess, but for most of the afternoon we were watching the group in front of the group in front of us tee off, and I think they were waiting on at least a group in front of them, and then we had at least 3 groups behind us waiting on all of this. I just really can't play with balls coming off the tee falling around me while I try to get on the green. And that messes with my shots slowing me down more from my mishits. Some of this is the fault of the players, but we NEEDED a ranger out there to fix this, I saw noone all day after the starter. Maybe they were over whelmed, but I would rather you not take my reservation than have to deal with this. There is much potential here they just need to hire a few more people. Might try it again on a slower day
