Nice course!
Challenging layout. Greens are in good shape. Fairways are in decent shape. Bunkers were ok. I was only in two. One was nice, the other one could have used more sand.
I would play here again.

Horrible Pace of Play

Sadly I could not play the back 9 as it would've taken over 5 1/2 hours. The staff is always friendly but the course has some maintenance issues. Too bad because it's a nice layout.

Clean and forgiving but challenging,

This is a very fun and clean course to play. Also, it is challenging and forgiving at the same time. I just wish that the food was better more food better prices would make us much easier.

Tule Time

Love the well groomed, varied terrain and course features. Some holes difficult and some forgiving. So fun to play.
The comfortable professionalism of Joey Mata and Pat Curran create an atmosphere of “Welcome Home”.
Shoutout to Butch for his pride in Cart maintenance. The level of our golf experience is enhanced riding in by far the cleanest carts in the region.

Overall Good Value - Worth It

Just got home from my morning round. Played the Blacks, shot a 77. I walked and only had to pay $42 vs. $65 if you use a cart. Couple decent hills to contend with if you’re walking, but overall a good course to walk. Greens rolled really well. I’d give the maintenance of the course a 7/10. Fairways and tee boxes a little fluffy in some areas and bunkers were nearly pretty wet (I avoided them thank God). Creativity of the course was a 7/10 from the tips, definitely some interesting tee shots. The scenery was nice, and coming up one of the holes you see the historical castle in the distance which was pretty cool. Definitely worth giving this course a try. I’d say it’s a 1-2 times a year type of course. Worth going, but not going to entice you to come back often. Good luck!
