Last course on the weekend. I was expecting this to be the best of the bunch. While the condition of the course was excellent I wonder about some of the decisions to airate the putting green and the 19th hole on a Sunday morning. You would think some of the uniqueness of the course by offering a 19th hole wouldn't be taken away on a weekend. The pace of play was dreadful on this day. Took almost 6 hours to play. Within the first 4 holes staff came by regarding slow groups in front but vanished after that. In the end we had 6 golfers and finished as a 6 some only to have to wait on every shot for the last 5 holes. With the expecation of this being the best course being played over the weekend, the course fell short of expectaions. I would play again, and would recommend to play, but leave plenty of time to play.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again
