Vacationing

Had perfect weather to play golf. Got paired up with 2 great guys that knew the course so lucky for us as we would have been lost a few times otherwise.. Fairways were in great shape. This is a short and
pretty flat course but fun to play. Really really fast greens make it a bit tougher to make a good par. We liked the layout and open fairways. Main complaint is their GPS system which stays on your butt every minute so pretty annoying in that regard. However, the carts were the most cushy seats ever. Would play again.

Poor signage on course / food not so good

Getting lost on a course is not fun and most holes and probably caused pace of play issues was lack of signage from hole to hole. Food was horrendous afterward as well. For the price of this course I would not return.

Great course with great rates

This course was in great condition and well maintained. Pace of play was excellent. Wide open fairways. It does require course management skills. Greens were fast but fair. Will definitely come back again
