Tournament conditions

We played after an NCGA event. The course was in fantastic condition and was set up with thicker than normal rough (wiry wrist breaking stuff) and many greens had difficult pin positions.

Overall-5- The great design combined with the improved conditions make this one of the best places to play in the area.

Pace-3- 4.5 hours on a Sunday after a tournament in tough conditions and as a fivesome.

Course Conditions-5- The greenskeeping work by the new owners and the tournament setup was a pleasure to play.

Staff-4- Friendly and helpful.

Value-4- Though above average area rates the quality makes the price worthwhile.

Food-3- Limited but good, this was built as a players course so the shop/bar is small. Not sure if there are plans to expand.

Facilities-4- Great practice facilities and everything is well maintained.

I highly recommend a round or several.

Weird stuff around the green

Pace of play was a little slow we had 4 people riding 3 different carts playing super slow took us 1:20 to finish the last 4 holes. The course had this weird black paint. Around all the greens and it looked different the greens were sort of beat up. The kid at the clubhouse was great the young lady at the first tee looked like she didn’t want to be there unfriendly when I asked if they did a military discount she said rudely “ we don’t do that here”.

Rough Golf Course

It’s not quite Spring yet so the Course is in Sub par condition. Greens running very slow for Dragonfly Standards. I’ll be back in a few months when course is in better shape

February

Beautiful day, light wind and clear sky. Always a great place to play when in town, and worth the trip. Staff are friendly and helpful. The GPS and slope screen for the greens are helpful. A must for the bucket list!

Sandy fringes

Normally the place is well taken care of, the fringes and pin placements were terrible. I’ll play this course again in the spring, prices are wild and course has never played that bad, played better when it’s punched greens.

Great layout but expensive

They upped their prices again with not noticeable changes to the up keep. There are still large mud pits of the 8th and the 4th greens and for the price one might assume these have been fixed. All-in-all it is a great course that is great for long hitters, be prepared to be puzzled by the up keep and the pace of play occasionally. Also the occasional ball cleaner would be nice, again something that I feel should be available for the price you will pay.

Great Course

Great course in great shape for this time of year. Great views and wide open for players of all levels. Greens were notably slower than practice green but still in good shape. Great value if you get a hot deal tee time.

Great winter playing surfaces

Despite the winter soggy weather, course was easily playable with no mud puddles while I was there. Sand traps are the best I've played while the sand was wet.

Some down sides: the cart direction signs were backwards on several holes leading us to get our cart stuck and having to back out to turn around and go the other direction. Tee times were 10-15 minutes behind causing congestion on the front 9. No marshals were present on this very busy day(never have been for any day I've played).

With all that said, this is still the best public course around.

Great Day of Golf

The rate of play was a little slow, and several of the groups in front of us were not repairing their divots on the greens. The tee boxes were pretty worn down, but the fairways were in good shape. Still had a great time on the course though!!
