Friendly staff but slow play

The staff is nice and friendly, and it’s a fun course, but the pace of play is always slow. Holes 14-18 were brutally slow. They had four twosomes ahead of us - maybe pair them up? Need to do something to speed play up. No one likes waiting 10 minutes on every other tee box!

Jolly

A good amount of elevation and a good shape for being so early in the season. Definitely wanna play there again now that I have a little bit of course knowledge! In my humble opinion, was just a little pricey for a midweek, early season round. But if you’re in the area, I would not hesitate to play here!

Nothing has changed!

Even still, after many comments & complaints from our Sunday Group, they still don't do anything or even attempt anything to help with the Pace of Play. 9 out 10 Rounds this year have been over 5-hours, even closer to 5.5 hours. They never, and I mean never, send out a Ranger/Staff Member to tell Groups to pick up the pace. There could be 4-Groups waiting on the Tee Box at the turn (#10), because of 1-Group holding up everyone, and They will not/do not do anything about it! On top of that, They consistently send out Singles and 2-Somes on Sundays, instead of pairing them up! Just that alone would speed up the Pace of Play! But, they will not come out of the Clubhouse or down the Clubhouse steps to check on anything. They do have great GPS systems that shows where EVERY CART is at on the Course. All they would have to do is check the GPS System every once in awhile, instead of NEVER, and see who's holding everyone up. Then, send out a Ranger, and ask them to pick up their pace! So, if you're looking for a Course where You have to wait on every single shot, and enjoy 5.5 hour Rounds, then this is the Course for You!

Beautiful, well kept course

Course is a little easy, not many large hills or traps, which I really appreciated as a newer player. Every member of the staff was very nice and helpful, including going out to find my range finder than I left on my golf cart for me. Only real downside was the cart gps, but that little thing sucks at every course that has it, so it’s hardly their fault.

Way too many kids on the course

First of all I want to say that my only complaint was the amount of high school kids that were on the course. I'm assuming they have something worked out with local public schools where kids get top billing and everyone else is second?? Anyway, course was beautiful. It was well laid out. Super clean and nice restroom facilities on the 6th and 16th hole. I would definitely play here again once everyone is back in school. I like to get through 18 holes in 3 hrs or less and not need a whole weekend to do it lol. The staff was super friendly and the carts were new. I really liked the tablets. Had built in GPS and score keeping. I never write my score down on the cards but, I liked doing it on the tablet. I figured it's there I might as well use it!

Unbelievable

For some reason rates all over the area have sky rocketed. $40 for 9 holes should be illegal, not to mention a $15 fee for a girlfriend who just wants to sit in the cart. So at the end of the day I paid $60 for a 3 hour half round game.
(3 hours due to not spacing tee times out)

Drove down from Canada and we'll be back again next year.

Thanks!!
