slow play

The golf course had some kind of best ball outing. The 18-hole round took 5 hours not acceptable. The ranger was nice. but it ruined my day.

Decent courses but unlikely to play again

The good: pace wasnt bad and some of the holes are interesting and fun to play. Good elevation changes.

The bad:

Greens were hard as a rock. Near impossible to hold a green when there's a bunker in front and short irons rolled out 30+ feet. (I'm an 11 handicap and don't usually have this issue at most courses). This isn't a links-style course in Scotland. Water your greens, please.

A handful of holes have side-by-side fairways that aren't that wide which leads to a bottleneck of cross-fairway play. Some have blind shots so it's just a mess. Pace of play wasn't bad overall but this is just a design flaw.

The carts have issues with parking brakes not engaging. I had issues with this and saw someone in another group have their cart fly down a steep hill into a tree. This is an injury and lawsuit waiting to happen.

Lastly, make 6 a par-4 and 17 a par-5. I think that's the longest par 4 I've ever played, which includes near 7000 yard courses.

Hills and more hills

Elevation changes make this course really unique and tough! Easy true roll greens, but if you don’t hit fairway your second shot will be above/below your feet making it tough!

Terrible pace of play

Ended up leaving after 14 holes because we had already hit the 4 hour mark. Round probably would've taken another 1.5-2 hours.
