| this course is for players of all handicaps. It is truely challenging yet foregiveing. I highly recommend it to any avid golfer. Oh and by the way it's extremely well maintained--looks like a picture postcard. |

 Great course but tough for inexperienced golfers, Sep 22, 2008

| The course was beautiful and in wonderful shape. I'm not an experienced golfer, so the course felt tight to me as I lost a fair number of balls if I wasn't hitting fairways. Bring plenty of spares if you are a beginner or have a tendency to shank your shots. I went on a Saturday with a 4-some for a bachelor party day and after 2 holes early on turned down an offer to play through a slower playing group in front of us. When we were struggling a bit ourselves to keep pace and the group behind was approaching, we were going to let them play through but the marshall came by and told us it wasn't allowed and asked us to pick up our pace. Between holes 9 and 10 back at the clubhouse, we ran in to take a bathroom break, get a beverage and buy more balls. Apparently this is frowned on as 1/2 way through hole 10, the marshall came by again and warned us about not keeping up with the group in front. He watched us make further progress on the hole, told us we weren't moving fast enough and forced to pick up our balls and start the next hole. We caught up with the group in front of us again a few holes later and weren't slowing down any groups behind us at this point, but the pushed pace (for us) put a real damper on the afternoon. If you are a decent golfer, I think you'd really enjoy this place. Nice hole layout which requires more accuracy than power as it has several well designed doglegs. And the marshall clearly will keep things from backing up if you like to steadily move through your round. If you're starting out or haven't played in a while, though, you may want a course (and marshall) that are more forgiving. |

 In 2008, not the same as it used to be. Terrible Marshall!!!, Aug 09, 2008

| So we used to play here all the time back in 2003-2005. It "was" great! Well in August of 2008 it was a different story! First, second, and third hole, lawn blower wouldn't leave our fairway! Mowers all around. Delayed us at least 5 minutes each hole. Then the "marshal" came and told us to play quicker, though the delay wasn't our doing. Believe me... we play the pace! Then he just hovered every stroke like he was some kind of cop. Seriously?! Let's not forget the people behind us were cheating to keep pace. Huge altercation on hole 5. Says we can't let players play through! Pulling a big ego trip for a guy who makes $10 bucks an hour. We know what that's all about! People always play through here. What course doesn't allow that? B.S. !! Got our money back, left. Nice course. The marshal and his buddies are ego freaks and the definition of real chumps! |
