Course Closed Without Notice

Arrived at the course and there was no one in the clubhouse or pro shop. We were told by other golfers that there were no carts and that they had been stolen. Understood....but how do you not address this directly with incoming customers? Someone was on the premises but they did not answer the door upon knocking. Why would you allow customers to pay fees online for carts you do not have. I'm appalled at the level of unprofessionalism we experienced. Very disappointed as this was our first round of the season.

Perfect day

55 degrees in mid November. What more can you ask for except to spend it on a golf course. Leaves were well taken care of. Did not lose a single ball the entire day. Only had to dig around once. Always love this course.

Great score

Grounds were in good shape, but it was wet and there was some standing water to contend with. Lots of leaves made it harder to find balls in the fairway or first cut.
Greens were very receptive due to rain the night before.
This is a good course for the intermediate golfer. Many open holes, but there are several bowling alley drives that will drive you nuts if you can't hit straight.
Typically its very slow plan. Due to weather, this time it was fast with no hold ups.

Good course for the money. 30$ each w cart. Some greens poor. Most ok. Faiways have potholes. Needs a nice paved cart path throughout. Signage to next hole poor. Tee boxes need work w grass. Course could be excellent again with TLC Looks tired, not broken.

Slow group

Dont think ill ever play this course again. Went out and sailed through first eight holes with no problems then hit a brick wall. Threesomes and foursomes barely moving. Decided i didnt have time fore a 5 hour round so i skipped about 4 holes and passed the group that was slowing everyone down. All smoking swisher sweets and drinking some kind of cognac.. No ranger on duty. I went and played 4 holes on front 9 while they played 1 hole(18) ill miss it but wont play it again.

Not Bad, but not great either

Played this course many times over the last 30 years, always enjoy it. Greens and tee box were in respectable shape, but many fairways were in really rough shape, not totally anyones fault, been extremely dry this summer.

Slow on a Tuesday morning.

Don’t put signs up that say 4 hour pace if you don’t mean it.
They let someone jump in front of us on the back 9. And then when I asked if they started on the back they called me a cry baby and some obscenities. The ranger did not kick off the disruptive guests as their sign says.
