First tee time was 9:00 am and ours was 9:40 am - we were either fifth or sixth group out. Granted it was already 89 degrees at tee time and we finished the front 9 in just over two hours, but the back nine took over three hours. The group in front of us had two walkers and by the 10th hole they were one hole behind and by the 14th hole over two holes behind. The heat may have slowed their walking, but they took forever addressing the ball and putting.... Pace of play is always the problem, but they never have rangers out trying to improve pace of play......!
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level
