Slow Play

I liked playing this course for years. It was a higher end course at that time and pace was reasonable. I stopped playing this course bc it's always overbooked. I drive past it almost everyday on routed 83 and see carts lined up (no signs for an outing) all the time. Maybe when they stop overbooking this course I will start spending money there again. My son-low played 2 weeks ago and feels the same way.

Not worth the money

$80 on the weekends. That’s really all I need to say. I herd they did renovations over the off season. I certainly can’t tell where they put that money. The tee boxes are still in really rough shape on lost holes. I have no idea where they get off charging this much.

Course was in great shape

The fairways were in great shape and the first ruff sometimes it was hard to find your ball.The sand traps played as they should, making it able to blast out of the trap. The course is very expensive for seniors on the week ends $85,

Good golf poor amenities

Course in good shape greens a little slow. Disappointed that they didn’t have the bar and restaurant opened. We planned to play and stay for dinner..’Beautiful restaurant and bar which were not open and I was told it never is. Shame since looks like it was recently remodeled.

Not worth the price

Ok course, 7 inch tall weeds on the tee boxes, base layer grass probably an inch tall on all tee boxes, nuts. Course is not bad otherwise and staff is great. Just not sure how the $85 green fee is remotely warranted, should be more like $40. We only played here because it was the only available time.

Never come to this dump

This course is a complete joke. Flew through 9 only so they could send 3 foursomes off the back in front of us. Not one nice hole, and I think the starter was hitting on my friends mom.

A fun round

Straightforward track that rewards tee shots that find the fairway. The rough is longer (than usual) and the greens are very very slow. Drift from the short grass and you’ll find a challenging up and down. Pace was great and the round flowed without interruption. For the $ offered, definitely worth the greens fee. The other three players in my group had all played here before and were impressed with the improvements in agronomy and the after round food/refreshments.

Great job folks.

Over priced for amenities provided

There was no starter to encourage pace of play or check tee times. If I didn’t walk off on the 9th hole I was headed for a 6 hour round.

The range was very mediocre because of the poor mats, and the few balls you got should have been included in the green fees because of how high they were.
