Course is fine. Johnny, the starter, was very rude. When I called to book my round, I asked if it would be possible to get 5 people out in the same group. The person on the phone was very accommodating, and booked us 2 tee times to make it work. I arrived the day of my tee time and paid. I walked outside to get my cart and Johnny asked how many people were playing. I explained the situation and he said we would have to play 2 and 3. I asked if it would be possible to play 2 and 3 at the same time as a scramble. He said, “I told you you ain’t getting 5 out there. Are you not getting the concept?” He continued to make me feel incompetent, and while assigning me a cart, asked me if I needed help finding it. It was right in front of us. I don’t typically feel disrespected. I know people have bad days, but Johnny did not make me feel welcomed, made me feel stupid, and was plain rude.

My boys and I played this course at 5:20 yesterday evening and it was absolutely awesome. Of course, was in decent shape, the employees at The pro shop were super nice and knew it was our first time so they gave us a lot of tips and the course was great and it was just a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back for more. The car was fantastic. The course was easy to navigate. Very impressed.

I have played this course weekly with my company league this summer. For my money, there are much better courses out there.
Fairways have been pretty spotty all season. Roughs are overtaken by weeds. Tee boxes are not level and not well groomed. Greens are often pretty damaged. They routinely run short on carts. The old man starter seems to have a stick up his rear all the time.
The price is right-ish with my league but I would not play here otherwise.

Everything was super soaked. There really is no need to keep the sprinklers on all day. Only plus was the fact that it was really hot and getting sprayed by sprinklers while hitting your drive was a little refreshing. Won't be back!!!
