First time , last time ….

Rude and arrogant , just avoid to cross upon Scott at the pro shop ! One inch of sand on all the greens , and a buggy which can not accelerate …..
poor overall conditions , tee box and fairways …

WORTHLESS

The pace is insanely slow.
My tee time was delayed for 30+ min and had to wait 5-10 min every single shot.

Dissapointing, five hour round. g trend

The course has seemingly deteriorated of late, the fairways were dried out, hard pan.

The pace of play was very slow - group ahead 2 holes behind - no marshall.

Beyond slow,

Delayed 15 min to tee off, hot deal was more like hot torture. Course has never been the sane since before the pandemic. All the pictures of green grass are before pandemic Summer, winter , Fall and spring grass is gone. 3 hours for 9 holes , only finished 14 holes in 4.5 hour . I loved the course in past but it’s not returning to past conditions , Golfers will continue to pay so no motivation to improve pace or conditions.
