Unbelievably Slow

Course was jam packed and terribly slow. It was in decent condition but waited forever in between shots. The group in front of me said that they are always full of people after 11am. I will not be going back.

Great afternoon

Today was a lot of fun. It’s a little on the short side which probably added to the fun. I’m not a long hitter so this course gave me a chance to score. Other golfers were very courteous and I thought it was a great value.

A Great Value

We bought the 3 year membership for our family, and we played last night. The course was in very good shape, and greens were better than I expected from previous years under past ownership. The course has come a long ways since then, bunkers were nicely raked and looked like some new sand was added. The fairways were mowed pretty tight and the greens rolled well, rough could be mowed a bit shorter, but I am just getting old and not so powerful.

Nice course for a great price

Course is in great shape some of the best in years. Pace was slow on a Sunday morning, 5 hours for 18, but that would be expected this time of year. If rough was cut down a little more before the weekend, the pace would probably increase. Cart girl hit us once per 9. Course runs through a neighborhood, with lots of great hole layouts and control was key. Great Value!

Terrible experience

Booked 2 persons and cart through Golfnow. We get there, 5 holes open, only walking available and would not let us use a pull cart to play the 5 holes unless we paid $6.00 to rent. We should receive a refund.

No water

The course was nice. I spoke to one staff member who was less then nice when I checked it. It was 85 degrees and humid and there was absolutely no water to drink in the course. All of the water cooler holders were either broke or completely empty. We were never told of this or we would have gotten water at the turn. Not a sight of a cart girl. No refreshments at all while in the course for 4 hours. No ranger in site. Slow play and no etiquette as the group's in front were so slow and refused to let us play through. Value was good but I'll never come back.

We played after a few days of rain causing a lot of flooded areas. Some of the areas were unplayable because they could not be cut. I would try it again during a dry period to see if it was any better. I think they’re trying for improvement but not there yet.

Fun round

The course was in the best condition since I have played it. A bit dry but I am sure that is based on the weather.
