It appeared as though the greens were not cut for a long time; they were very thick. Your ball would make a turn on a clump of grass on the green. The fairways were not kept up. The staff was not very friendly or helpful. The pace of play was awful - the group ahead of us was very slow and there was no one ahead of them and no rangers to be found. The restaurant/clubhouse doesn't open until about 10:30 so there is no place to get a water or Gatorade until then. The practice facility looks as though it has not been maintained for a long time.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line:
None worth mentioning
Condition of Course, Ambiance, Pace of Play, Staff, Clubhouse, Food/Bar Facilities
