In town for work and got a 5pm tee time. Was able to go out as a single, played 18 in 2:10 mins. For the end of season the greens showed signs of heavy play but still rolled good with good speed. Everything was in good shape for the most part. Really fun layout, would come back.

When we booked a 9:20am tee time for $80 a person I certainly didn't expect to be waiting behind a fivesome all day. Interesting to see the other reviews say there's marshals enforcing pace of play then they let this nonsense happen on a day with a full tee sheet. Really had higher expectations from a premium public course, I didn't know the standards were so low here.

Had an epic time out there with the Golf With JMO podcast! The course is beautiful and the clubhouse was immaculate. One of the nicest courses I have ever had the pleasure of playing! Great people on the staff at every level. Got treated like a king and can’t wait to go back!

I have golfed this course twice in the last couple of weeks. I played a full round (18) last two weeks ago and 9 (front 9) last night. The course is visually appealing and looks beautiful. However, the greens and fairways are beat up quite a bit. You cant necessarily blame the club for people not fixing their divots. However, this course must have major drainage issues. Both times that I have played it was like playing on a wet sponge or slop. You could literally see the water dripping off your shoes in the fairways they are so wet and soggy. The greens are not much better either. They are very soft and wet. I hit a high wedge shot last night and my ball almost completely disappeared in the green as it plugged 75% of of the way down. I believe it was on hole 7 or 8 where it got really bad. The greenside fairways is like playing in a swamp. This has been a beautiful week of nice warm weather and I was giving the course another shot last night but it had the same wet drainage issues that I experienced two weeks earlier. Final note, if your going to have a marshal remind you every 5 minutes about your pace of play at least do it to the people in the front. We were 10 minutes behind pace last week and this person was constantly in my face and there was literally nowhere for us to go. There where people in the fairway and on the green in front of us. I explained that if I was 10 minutes ahead of pace I would have to play through 3 other groups or more. There was nothing for us to do so please get off our butt. I love the look of the course but unfortunately the cost doesn't justify the conditions. For the course cost and conditions and slow pace of play I would much rather play Blackstone, Preserve at Oak Meadows, Arrowhead, or even Randall Oaks. These are all in the same price range with much better conditions.
