Pretty straight forward course

Really easy course for beginners to learn the game. Easy to read but gives a really good challenge. The greens are a little slow, so it's a little harder to read especially compared to the courses in the area

Early Season, very wet

Had a great time overall, some definite drainage issues. Any place that could possibly be wet was soaked and muddy. Had a more than couple tee shots disappear into the mud in the fairway. Liked the layout though and would go back on a drier day.

Good course

It’s a long course. Can be pretty challenging with narrow fairways and hilly greens. Greens are fast and the greens keeper put the holes in difficult spots when we played. Leaves make it hard to find balls that land off the fairway. It was went so we had to walk today with pushcarts but we actually finished faster than the round we played with a cart somehow. Some of the par 3s are like 200 yards which make it hard. Overall great course.

Nice course but slower round

This course is pretty well cared for and the layout keeps it interesting. Carts are old but got the job done. Only problem we had was pace of play. We had a couple groups of young guys in front of us hacking it up so we were waiting a lot. The guy running the clubhouse was helpful and personable. Overall a good experience. Can't be surprised by slow play at the price.

Where is the marshal

Paid to play 18 today. Got to 1, there was a team of 6 all teeing up with a solo behind them (who just came to 1 to make up 1-3 for slow play earlier). No Marshall even at 1 and nothing on course. By the time I struggled 2.5 hrs as a solo for 9, I hoped to speed up but once again pulled up on the 6 group waiting for the 4 in front of them who were just teeing off.

I left before the 6 team teed off.

Last time I played here, it took 5.75 hrs to play 18 (with a Marshall .

This is a decent course but it desperately needs better management.
