First Time Playing

Loved it

No complaints here. Course was in great condition, greens were as well but a bit slow for spring. Course layout was okay, a few holes where you’ve got some thinking to do. I love when it’s golf in its purest form, no houses around, just golf and nature.

Great experience

Very professional staff at check in. Course was in great shape. A little issue with staff in restaurant getting drinks and snacks at the Turn but other than that great experience.

Improve of the Greens

The greens were mowed to a point that gave them a very nice faster putting speed from a week ago.
My view the two things that make a great golf course is design an quality greens.
Both of those things are being achieved.

Love this course!!!

Played in afternoon after an all morning rain. Course drained extremely well. Tee boxes were a little wet but playable when moved around the box. Greens were sanded a week or 2 before which made them a little long and very slow but beautiful. Course is in awesome shape and can’t wait to play again!!!

Tee boxes not properly marked

Love the course and new carts. The GPS on the carts has too many advertisements.

Huge improvement

The overall course score has improved from my score of a 3 to 8.
The greens are the biggest improvement with actual having a surface that’s putting constant.
The fairway has grass a n moisture that allows you to hit the ball a take a divot without spraining your wrists.
Again awesome improvements

good but could be wayy better

grass needs to be cut. I know they said their aerating soon but the greens were long and slow. several tee boxes are in poor shape. I will say this though, it rained hard for an hour 4 holes into the round and other than few soft spots the drainage was excellent and by middle of the back nine it didn't seem like it rained at all
