Extremely slow play

Course conditions were ok but the pace of play was horrific. Over 3 hours for 9 holes. Played behind a men’s league and they were in our fairway on nearly every hole.
I cancelled two cart reservations at the club on the day before and still am waiting for a credit to appear on my card.
Will not invite friends back to this course to play, especially on a weekend.

Great course and only area of concern would be course condition but likely due to early in the season.

Slow Pace of Play

A decent course, that probably has a lot of fun to play, but certainly not fun when the pace of play is this slow. there was a marshal on the course doing absolutely nothing to speed up players. The group in front of me had two empty holes in front of them, and they refused to move forward.

Hidden Gem!

Hidden gem for me at least. Really fun course, wide open but some interesting design challenges. Easy check-in/out, good food, helpful staff.
