First time playing here and it did not disappoint. Well maintained and just an overall beautiful course. This course is also perfect for the average player to seasoned player. If your a beginner, I would advise to go elsewhere. The fee was $112 for a round in May which I would say is a good price. But you get what you pay for. If you want a course thats 60$ on a Sunday than your just not gonna like what your playing on. The fairways, the bunkers were all clear of debris. Their is hardly any tree cover so you will not get lost in the woods. The only chance you have of losing your balls is on some water holes...but on hole 17 you wont mind it all as it as picturesque as it gets. The only thing I would point out for them to work on will be the bag drop area. They need a driving range and not just a net to hit into. Otherwise they do have a practice green and short game green to work on. Absolutely would recommend this course and I would absolutely come back again!

First impressions:
- Fun course layout. Good mix of very scoreable holes and strategic & punishing bunker placement.
- Greens recently aerated— give them 1-2 months
- Fairways, bunkers, and rough all very well maintained.
- Par 3 tee boxes need some rest— all others are 8.5/10 condition.
- Staff was a 10/10! Very nice, friendly, and accommodating.
- Only gripe: food truck closed before we made the turn (4:50ish) and we didn’t see a cart girl after the 6th hole. Wouldn’t be worth a mention had we gotten drinks and snacks from either one of them before the back nine.
Overall, the views and course conditions make it hard to beat. Very strong contender for a 5/5 once the greens get rolling and par 3 tee boxes get some rest.

What a great spot!!! A must play! First time here. I’ve been meaning to check it out for a while and so glad I finally did. Wonderful layout, lush fairways, the nicest bunkers I have played in years!! From a former turf grass employee with over 10 years experience at a half dozen courses in three states….Kudos to the Superintendent and his team! Wonderful views as well!!! With all of that being said it’s too pricey. I got a GolfNow Hot Deal for $70 at around noon on a weekday. I will definitely be back but not for more than $80.

UPDATE: I heard from Vince, Director of Golf at the course, and he was awesome. He listened to our experience, and validated the frustration, and cared about it, and said he would work to adjust the approach of his rangers that led to this experience. We'll be back! Chalk it up to an overzealous ranger that did his math wrong, and was pretty relentless in pace of play, albeit somewhat misguidedly. Everyone has bad days, and I hope those guys have better ones! And it sounds like the tactics will change there moving forward. This to me is almost better than not having a problem to begin with... I have more respect and admiration for the course and its managers than I did before yesterday. Too many folks are incapable of reflection and process improvement these days! No ones perfect, but accepting our current state will make us worse!
ORIGINAL POST: Gorgeous course, has been one of my favorites for a long time. Unfortunately two staff really negatively impacted our experience… one of the rangers got it in his head that we were playing too slowly, maybe because we were in front with no one ahead and several parties behind us… even though we were on pace all day for under a 4.5 hour round on this 6800 yard course (from the blues). He bugged us 12 out of 18 holes, lurking, and often making condescending and passive aggressive comments about skill level and that we “didn’t pay for 5 hours of golf.” No other party ever had to wait for us… we saw the group behind us on the tee or fairway when we were finishing up on the green only a couple of times and only on the longest holes (600+ yards!), and those parties didn’t have to wait. We finished in just under 4.5 hours despite two stops from the concession cart (both of which times we spent more money), and having to stop to talk to this guy several times. He slowed us down and we still played faster than average players for this huge course. The other ranger was great, as was the guy who cleaned the clubs at the end. The manager at the end refused to receive the negative feedback, which was even more disappointing, and demonstrated he would do nothing about this very poor customer service experience. I understand the role of these rangers, but this guy wasting everyone’s time on some kind of power trip is a warped version of his job. $90 per person for an afternoon round while being borderline harassed is just not worth it, not when there are so many good courses in the region.
