Grass and staff.

The fair ways and some of the putting greens have no grass. However the clubhouse is well designed and looks new. Staff are really friendly and professional. The owner took his time to show us the back room with Arnold Palmer memorabilia. Much appreciated.

Course vs pace

The course was in good shape overall and really like the layout.
The issue is pace of play. We had to wait at the turn as they let people tee off on the back. Front was a little less than 2 hours. Back nine was ridiculous as it took 2:45 minutes. This is the third time this has happened. It I

GOAT RANCH!!!!!!

They spent a ton of money to redo clubhouse looks great!! Spending ton of money on driving range, bays and trakman which will be great. Staff was very nice and professional. Spent money to redo bathrooms on course, very nice! They have spent NO MONEY ON COURSE OR CARTS!! Fairways are pretty much hard pan lies of dirt weed combo! Greens like concrete! Tee boxes marginal at best. Bunkers a mess no sand. Carts barely turn, wheels look like about to fall off. One cart died on 15. I have been playing here since 2005 worst course conditions ever scene and was $75.00 bucks a person. TERRIBLE!!!

Great Friday of Golf

We had a great time playing this course, the staff was super friendly and the Resturant/bar was fantastic. One of the best lunches I've ever had at a public course. Cart girl was there every time we turned around. The course is under light repair in spots but over all it was a great experience. I will be back.
