Arboretum

Pace of play is slow saw a lady driving around on a gold cart but wasn't sure who she was. Course is in good condition but sitting around on the tee box and waiting isn't fun.

Poorly staffed - great conditions for time of year

Had higher hopes for this place. Looks like a wine and sushi bar when you pull up and can’t even tell there’s a course. No food or even coffee to be had even at 9am. Waited 15 min post round for a waitress and then we weee delivered food that we didn’t ask for and charged for a double drink when not ordered etc. With the sim bays there should be a place to warm up before an early morning round. Good course. Great greens. Not sure I’ll go back.
