Play was very slow as it took five hours to play. The group in front of us, basically was backing up the course. Ranger finally showed up around the 14th hole. Pace got a little better, but lost interest in the round by then.

Beat up

Beat up, the course was in bad shape, the golf carts were dirty, seats sticky, cigar butts in the cup holders, garbage in the carts, chips only for purchase, no food at the turn. Just not even mediocre.

Stay away

Worst course I've played in a long time. Really should just be torn down. Tee boxes trash, fairways trash layout 1920s trash. I'd rather quit the game than play this course again.

Needs improvement

We’ve golfed here many times before. But over the past several years feel things have declined.
The halfway house is not open. Sometimes there are no hot dogs available. I think that’s all the was offered besides a buffet. Which no time for when golfing. The port a potties where unusable., full and needed replacing.
The golf course could use better maintenance. Fairways were long, sprinkler heads were sticking up, many holes that I felt were dangerous. The cart path on the back 9 is deteriorating and needs repair. I hope things will improve for next year.

It's still a little work in progress but will be a very good course when all the holes are perfect.They had 2 holes that were getting redone and had sand on them.We were warned ahead of time so wasn't a huge deal.
