I realize it's not country club quality but I enjoyed the course. It was challenging and the pace of play early on a Friday was excellent.

Needs Marshalls! slow pace of play

this course really needs marshals around watching the pace of play. My group decided to not play the last two holes as there was a 2 group back up on each hole. If we would of play our whole round it would of been an over 5 hour game

Not the same quality

Lots of dirt patches and dry water runoff areas off the fairway, if you look at Sterling course as you finish 9 you can see a big difference in the quality between public and members course, makes you wonder at these prices

Getting better

The course benefited from a lot of rain lately which is helping the new sod. Rain also filled up a lot of the traps so they were mostly unplayable, but will come back. Pace of play on the front nine was excellent, back slowed a bit but okay.
