Course was is pretty good condition, however greens were extremely slow. Pace of play was extremely slow as it took 5+ hours to play. Group in front of us had no sense of urgency. Ranger finally showed up around the 14th hole, but didn't help much.

Has improved

Conditions much better since last played a few years ago. But had no reason for with 2 holes to go for ranger to push when we never had anyone waiting on us the whole round. Then we approached the 18 green we saw about 3 or 4 groups waiting for carts. This was a problem before so maybe getting more carts is needed.

If this course cost $25 for 18 and a cart maybe I’d play it again.

Overpriced

Fall afternoon rates too expensive for a course that doesn’t come close in condition and value than others within 15mins.
Never had to give my ID as collateral for push cart anywhere but here.

2.5 hours mid week solo

I caught up to a couple slow groups but was able to pass both of them around the turn. Mid-week daytime golf is usually pretty quick & this one didn’t disappoint in regard to pace of play. Finished in 2.5 hours. Was able to play the whole grouse by myself & really found the back nine ski slopes especially challenging. It woulda been a doozy to walk but thankfully I was riding & the course was in excellent shape. Tees & greens were well maintained. Trees are starting to change. Very beautiful day on the course.

Great hilly course

For $28 walking and $43 with a cart you cannot find much better of a golf course. It’s long, it’s hilly, there’s water, the course is great and very well maintained. I would recommend taking the cart as walking proved to be quite a challenge. Also for a Saturday there was hardly anybody on the course. A little waiting on the front 9 and none on the back. There’s also skiing and tubing at this course in the winter. I would come back here any day of the week 10/10

Interesting track

Teed off at 1 pm. The lawn mowers were running the entire round. 11th tee was basically like hitting out of the rough. 10th box was a dirt box. This course could be worth the $55 dollars if they decided to sink a little money in it. Instead they are letting it go to crap

Not a bad 18 hole course.

Played this one with my son and we had a great time. Some nice views on a few of the holes. The back 9 are around the ski hill equipment and made for an interesting round.
