Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to play today. I’m disappointed the weather broke very late and I didn’t have a chance to cancel. So I wound up losing my fee.

Pace of play

Course layout is excellent. Greens were quick but not as smooth as one would expect after paying 60$. Quite a few divots that weren’t able to heal effectively. Hungry? At the turn it was a 10 min wait for hot dogs. Pace of play was slower than you could imagine. No ranger.

Fairways, rough, layout =perfect

Pace of play, amenities, divots on the greens= below average

Would play here again

Good variation

This course brings a lot of different shots and hole layouts. I had a blast playing. It had rained the day before, so some of the grass was a little muddy/damp, but that can be forgiven of any course. Would recommend for an average golfer to feel a good challenge, but also be able to get some birdies.
