Issues

Everytime I have played here this year, there has been issues, you either have to play same nine twice, you play certain holes only, there is ground under repair, they were spraying greens today while I was trying to approach. I have been behind a five some on multiple times just like today and I have been involved in extremely slow play overall everytime I play here

Great Course. Great Layout. Many fairways have OB on left and right, stay in the middle. Nice Greens. No driving range is my only downside.

One of the worst ever

For the price I felt I was getting a good deal. What the lady at the pro shop failed to tell me was that there was a seniors tournament going on that day. I get to hole 6 and ask the group of 4 if I could go ahead, I was the only person in my group so I move fast. They get mad and say no we are in a tournament. So I decide to skip the hole all together and go to the next where it was clear. I play the hole and as I am leaving the green, someone from that same group hits there ball as I’m coming off and nearly hit me. I let it go and move on. I realize that every hole is swamped with people and I didn’t have 8 hours to sit there and wait so I went to leave where the lady from the pro shop met me and said that a group complained that I skipped a hole and she was quite nasty to me about that, so I said forget it, you have lost a customer for good. Do not go play here. It is a terrible course, it’s not taken care of, and worst of all, the players on this course are snobby and extremely rude. Never waste your time here.

Probably my last time

As I said in my first review, the pace of play is problematic. Well, today it was horrific. I get the feeling the "old guard" club members are not enamored with opening the course to the public. The members start at any hole they choose on the course, play glacially, and are crotchety. Add to the fact that it seems the course either isn't irrigated or they are choosing not to irrigate the fairways, the quality of play was not enjoyable. I don't think I'll be going back

Fun course

I enjoyed playing my second round here. The clubhouse staff was very friendly and accommodating. The course is in good shape for early season with the exception of some of the areas right off the greens that need to be seeded. My only critique is the pace of play as it is a gated community with membership. So, on both occasions I ran into very slow playing groups as well as singles who wanted to push the pace.

Fun and challenging course

I enjoy playing this course. It requires accuracy to score low, but is not unfair. The woods, hills, rolling terrain, and varying lengths of the holes keep things interesting. You can lose some golf balls here. Some of the Par 4’s are a bit long for an older player like me. The greens were in excellent shape, especially for this time of year, but the fairways were dormant and a recent windstorm had strewn small branches in many places. So, some of the fairway lies were a bit rough. A cafe style restaurant is located at the course. Overall, great staff and great course for the money. Try it,

Enjoyed the Course!

I enjoyed the course! The course was still wet from the rains over the previous two weeks and was cart path only. Although the fairways were still somewhat muddy, I enjoyed the course and did not mind the extra walking. The course layout is exceptionally challenging. I would consider changing the short par five into a long par five. I usually am not on in two and was on the par five in two.

Had a great time! Will return soon.

Had a great time! Played course earlier this summer and enjoyed course. Played with another golfnow.com golfer. Was able to get a great rate. Course was nearly empty. Only saw a foursome at number 9 green that allowed our twosome to play through. Although fairways were dormant, as expected, greens were green. Course is exceptionally challenging with many doglegs. I enjoyed the challenge as I desire to be challenged in my thinking and my execution. Hope to return soon.

Great course

We had a great round. Great conditions but there were lots of leaves making it difficult to find balls off fairway. Pro shop staff was great and very friendly.

Nice course, friendly staff, good value

This course is an interesting and enjoyable layout. Usually in great shape, as it was this time also. Staff are great, good snack bar, and comfortable pace of play. A very good value. My only, minor complaint relates to the time of year...there were fallen leaves in the fairways so it was often difficult to find your ball even after a quality shot to the middle of the fairway. Perhaps they do not have the high power leaf blowers to clear the leaves from the fairways. You will enjoy this course. Give it a try.

Great bang for your buck!

If you can score a hot deal at this location, you won't be disappointed. The course is tight, with houses on either side on most holes. Plus side is lost balls can usually be located with fairly little effort. Staff is friendly and informative. For this time of year, the course is in nice shape. Only complaint was things were a little wet on a day where there hadn't been any rain recently, causing a few areas to get muddy. The carts are electric and have ball washer & club washer mounted on them, a nice bonus.
