Not worth the money

Greens are awful. Fairways not much better. Summer time and there is no water to drink anywhere on the course. Can’t believe I paid $82 for this.

Horrible Course

The greens were one of the worst in town with numerous dead spots throughout every hole. The staff is super oblivious to what customer service is. The round was $80+ but course conditions dictated $30 green fees. Be aware and don’t give this course your money for at least a year.

Treat the early birds better

Had a 705 tee time, shame on me on forgetting that they run them off 1 and 10…played the first 9 in 1:40 , hit the turn at 850 second 9 took 3 hours that’s unacceptable when you’re paying top dollar. I love the track but I won’t be back until winter when no one else is playing. The infusion of later golfers clogging up the round just doesn’t sit right with me. Completely kills the enjoyment of the round waiting 2 groups deep on every hole.

Tough course for an older player

Lots of elevation changes, fairway side slope, ravines, water and traps in abundance. Greens were great, but fairways on the rough side. Traps have great sand to hit out of
It would have helped to have a scorecard with course layout on the back, particularly for a first-time player.

Not a garbage can or chicken sandwich in sight

Played Sunday morning. Course was in good shape and the pace was good. Was shocked to not see a single garbage can or broken tee box on the entire course. After our round, with a full course, went to the very nice clubhouse to grab a beer and a sandwich only to find the kitchen was closed. On a packed Sunday.

Still a very fun course to play and will be back. Will just bring my own garbage bag next time.

The course is in poor condition

The course is in poor condition. The fairways are in absolute terrible condition, cut too close and too hard to hit off of. I realize part of that may be not having a lot of rain but it is simply not playable at this point..

Good course, needs some attention

I like the course, good variety of holes. But the fairways were some of the worst I've seen in quite some time, completely baked out, lots of dead patches. Genuinely better off to be playing from the rough on many holes. Some tees were in rough shape too. Greens were pretty good though.

Disappointing

I have played this course 10-12 times. Decent layout but I have never seen it in such bad shape. Fairways have very little grass. Way to thin to play comfortably. You would much rather play from the rough. I think they will get it back but it will be a few weeks at least. Greens are ok but always beat up with ball marks.

First timer

Great course. Definitely challenging. Shot 82 in a bi-polar round. Started on 10. The greens were great. Rolled fast and true. The fairways are still a bit bare but that will change with the warmer months. Overall, a great time and enjoyable course. The only waiting occurred in the last few holes when we caught two guys who thought it would be a “good idea” to play golf on Sunday without having spent any time developing a game. Can’t wait to play it again.
