NIcer than expected!!!

Been wanting to play this course all year. Finally got a chance...........and it didn't disappoint!! Love the layout and the difficulty! Only got to play the front nine due to rain. But for the last round of the year.........it was a GREAT ending!! Looking forward to picking back up where I left off in the Spring.

Busy and backed up

The course is getting better each time I go. They still need some work fixing the grass in several areas. The aeration on the greens really screws with your putts. It was a beautiful day in mid October so it was very busy. Waited 10-15 minutes for each hole on the back nine. 3-7 minutes on the front.

EXCELLENT VALUE AND CONDITION

My only negative on the day I played is that there was a foursome who were extremely slow and could care less about etiquette and did not let faster groups play through. We had five groups on a par 5 hole. There should have been a ranger moving them along

Pleasantly surprised

This course is in phenomenal shape. Fairways are lush and green. Only complaint, and a minor one at that was that the bunkers were not raked... 3.5 hour round was also a bonus...

Pace of play

Every hole had 2-3 foursomes on it. Almost 10 min wait on every tee box. No one driving around to check pace of play. Course is nice. Pace was bad. Over 5 hours for 18 / cart

Great greens for your money, a bit buggy.

The greens on this course have improved dramatically compared to prior years. Generally a fun course, and I really like that you can't just hit driver off every par four/5 tee. Some hard dog legs force a bit of strategic play. Back nine demands more accuracy than front.

Fairways and tee boxes are in decent shape. Clubhouse is what you'd expect from a municipal course. Staff is generally friendly. Bring big spray!
