Don’t Pay Twilight Rate

Course is great! Didn’t see a Marshall on the course. If I had, maybe players would have repaired their ball marks (I repaired several that were not mine). And if there would have been a Marshall, maybe a group of slow players would not have cut in ahead of us on the back nine causing us not to be able to finish our round. Twilight rate is too high for not being able to finish.

Pace is worse than ever

Played there dozens of times - pace of play is terrible. Never seen a ranger there and the beeping from the GPS does nothing.

Very disappointing - for an amazing course and great kids working the pro shop, but zero help for players. Several quit @ 15th green and just walked up to the parking lot.

So-So Conditions

Greens were good other than the unrepaired ball marks. Fairways very thin and matted down Bermuda. I know we've had a lot of rain in the area but.....
I'll give it another 2 months before I play there again.....we need some heat to kick in the bermuda grasses.
