Horrible pace of play and Rude staff

Booked a 1:40 tee time for 2 I arrived on time and was given the go ahead we waited 2-5 minutes on almost every hole for the groups in front of us now typically I don’t mind being a little slow but when we got around to the 11th hole we were stalled for almost 15 minutes with 3 groups in front of us waiting to tee off. We tried to skip a couple holes every hole was like that, it would have been well over a 5 hour round so we decided not to wait. I let the staff know in the pro shop the young boy working was extremely nasty asked what I wanted him to do. Rangers on the course to move things along would be a start there were none in sight all day. We won’t return there to play

Gorgeous. And it was only early March

Expansive layout. Challenging yet forgiving. Can only imagine how gorgeous it will be in-season

Fun Layout

2nd time playing here in less than a week. I live 1 hour away so that will tell you that the course is in very good shape and enjoyable to play. Sand traps are as perfect as they can be. These large greens are fast/true with lots of contour so 3-putting is not something you can easily avoid. Staff was friendly on both my visits.
After playing a few great rounds elsewhere , I came here for the first time last week and got beaten up by the course. The 2nd time playing, I fared better , but there is still lots of room for improvement on how I manage to play this layout. Will be back again but not until spring when the leaves do not impact finding my ball when I hit it just inside the tree-line.
Highly recommend this course if you are not a beginner.

9/10

Course is in excellent shape. Some of the greens are a bit chewed up from lazy players not fixing ball marks but not terrible. Pace was slow due to new players and groups without proper talent to play the back tees. Not sure if they have cart notifications for pace, but some marshaling could have helped.
