Alright so I'll start with the positive. The course I WELL MAINTAINED and the clubhouse is quaint yet fit for purpose. Staff was nice and I did not experience the "surly" nature that a previous Yelp reviewer left. Golf carts are nice & updated with GPS technology, and even have USB Chargers which is a nice touch. Great drainage on the course and honestly I didn't experience a soggy fairway, green or rough. I'm from Florida and even though I LOVE our courses I can say that drainage is an issue and it's highly appreciated when I travel out of state and play. So onto the negative. The pace of play was ROUGH. I had a 6:15 PM tee time, they had me behind a pair of 2 walking who was behind a foursome of females who were behind a foursome of females with two walking and two riding. I started at 5:45 PM and at 8:15 PM I was only at the 12th hole. The money I spent was a rip off. Too add to the chaos, there were two college age guys who were playing erratically, driving their golf cart all over the course hopping onto empty tee boxes, hitting shots that had no direction and then they continued to drive around the course like it was a Monster Jam rally. I play Golf often, and I've never seen such poor etiquette not only from the wild twosome but also people riding up in golf carts and joking a party in front of me. So the twosome walking in front of me became 2 walking + 1 riding. Absolute worst experience when it comes to game play ever. Honestly a refund of my money would have been great versus the wasted afternoon/twilight session that could have been enjoyable. Your course is gorgeous but that's about it.

New, well maintained golf course. Greens are not perfect, but course in a great shape overall. There is no driving range, clubhouse is really cool, they also have shower, and nice outdoor aria. My handicap is 22, and I scored exactly that.

Greens played extremely firm and above average speed. Great track for the price Sunday after 2: $44 Easy to walk Forgiving when driving but challenging around the green
