Very pretty course. Enjoyed our time. The tee times are so close together that you have people coming up behind you pretty quickly especially when we had 4 people and they had 2. Had them play through so we could enjoy without them right there.
Course was in great shape that’s why I’m giving it two stars. However, the experience was lessened due to staff. My group had booked a tee time days earlier, when we show up, they tell us there’s a tournament going on and they’re running behind so we need to wait for two more groups and then we can go and we need to play like a 4 person scramble. We were good with all of this which is already us being more than fair. Then, the four of us tee off on hole #1 and this staff lady comes up behind us in a cart telling us we need to keep a good pace of play due to the tournament running behind (how is that our fault?) and that the two women in our group “should probably hit off the red tee”. Very rude as we made a tee time in advance and we all paid the same. If you don’t want other people there during a tournament, don’t have tee times open. We ended up waiting behind two groups in front of us at every single hole. Which is fine, we expected that, but to say we aren’t keeping up with pace of play because you witnessed one shot is pretty bold considering we were waiting at every hole for the people in front of us.
Course is in great shape, Pro’s are awesome, Mike’s Cafe can’t be beat and the Pro Shop staff is amazing.
Came at the end of September in a long road trip, the course is in great shape, really fun and challenging and the people there from the starters to the players were wonderful, friendly and accommodating. I will definitely make the effort to come back.
I have been to quite a few golf courses but never anyone that has the friendly staff like these guys do... They're all eager to please and super nice. It don't matter if you're a amateur or a pro these guys are awesome.....
