Good to know
Golfers tell us that the front nine of the golf course is very tight, requiring strategic shots. They also mention that the greens are very fast, which can make them difficult to read. Some reviewers express concerns about the course conditions, particularly poor drainage and areas outside of the fairways that are not well-maintained. Slow play is another issue mentioned by golfers, with marshals not properly addressing it. Golfers also note that the course difficulty is inconsistent, with some holes being fairly easy while others are more moderate. The value for the money is criticized by many reviewers, who feel that the course is overpriced. Some golfers mention concerns about being sent off the back nine too early in the day and describe the course layout as weird with a lot of tunnels. Despite recent renovations, the price increase is not seen as justified, and the course is unfavorably compared to nearby options. Several reviewers suggest that the course should lower its rates to be more competitive.
