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.

Played very slow

The course played very slow. They had a tournament going on. We had to start on the seventh hole. When we made it to the 10th hole, we complained to the manager. He said that the group in front of us was only playing three more holes. That was not true. They kept playing and were hitting the ball 50 yards. We called the course. Finally some one picked up an after 6 holes they told them to stop playing

Tee boxes the worst around. Looked they had it been mowed in ages . Greens very very slow . Definitely not a premiere course in any way . Biggest rip off around for the money . Fun course to play and very tough roughs which makes it challenging .

Poor course management

They sent players off the front and back starting at 6:30, creating massive backlogs on every tee. We had 3 groups waiting on every tee box on the back nine. After we finished, we inquired about why they send people off the front and back and they said “that’s what we do”. 9 holes shouldn’t take 3 hrs
