Although I have played here many times, it is not my favorite by a long shot. Often, the pace of play is terrible, and the course marshals do nothing to speed up the slow groups. I once quit after 9 holes (3+ hours) when I drove to the 10th tee and found a foursome on the green, a foursome on the fairway, and 3 foursomes ahead of me waiting to tee off. I was so pissed off, I went back to the pro shop and demanded a refund. Also, the restrictions on the course re "protected vegetation" border on the absurd.
Great practice facility.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Better courses for less nearby
