Poor

The guy working there was not friendly. One of our foursomes was sick. Couldn’t go but still had to pay for four. Lot of fairways couldn’t even drive on and we got stuck multiple times. Wouldn’t go there again.

Impressed with the course

Golf course was absolutely beautiful the day I played. Very impressed with the quality of the golf course. Playing conditions could've been better . Enjoyed my round very much. The greens were absolutely phenomenal very firm and very fast! And the value for what you get regarding course quality Is unbeatable! The guy in the Pro Shop was very friendly!

Disappointed yet again

Weather has been great and no mention of so many cartpath only holes at check-in. Then the range was out of balls. Couple that with the slow play of the 3 groups ahead of us and it became a long day. So disappointing because I love this course layout. Just poorly run with no club house amenities.

Walked

impossible with cart path only in effect

Hit in the fairway- walk hundreds of yards from car path. Slopes, hills, up and down -too much for cart path only round. - nary a ball went OB but felt like marathon after.
No amenities or clubhouse.= water around course was great but no ice in chests.
nobody playing so round could have been much faster if being able to drive to your ball.
Sand traps were like hard due to nice white sand packing down with rains. fringe was thick
