Poor tee box conditions

To be a private club the condition of the course was poor, green were ok, but the tee boxes were in bad, bad condition no grass at all.

Great potential, but a LONG way to go

First time leaving a review here, but this one needs it. I typically think people are little harsh with their reviews on course conditions overall on golfnow, but this course is in BAD shape at the moment. Club house was completely closed for renovations so a register was setup in the cart storage facility. The course layout was solid and there is so much potential for this to be a top notch facility, but sadly it is so far from it at the moment. The fairways were a mess. Weeds, dirt, etc… barely any true patches of fairway to be found. Greens were also in rough shape on several holes. Tee boxes were hideous. Weeds and mushrooms growing all over. The staff informed me when I arrived of the condition and said a lot of work is currently in progress to completely lay new grass, but being out on the course it did not look like this was happening. The staff was great and very friendly, but my goodness does the course have a lot of work to do to get this facility up to par. Likely will not go back for a while unless I hear of considerable improvements.

Late Run at Smoke Rise

I couldn't finish my 18 holes due to an emergency, only played 9, but The pace of play was very slow and it tough to stay focused and in a rhythm.
• The 1:20p start still had groups stacking at the tee-box on 7, 8, and 9 • not sure why ???

I wish I could have finished and experienced the back 9
- Hopefully the pace would have improved

I would definitely recommend the course
