I wish I could be more positive with a new course but I was really disappointed. Several issues here---fairways are rough (clover and bare spots are frequent), greens are slower than most and lack adequate fringe, pace of play is slow (they need to either add red stakes or cut some weeds/tall grasses), and after you are finished don't expect to find any food or drink service (close at 11 am on Monday and Tuesday). I find it odd that a gold course doesn't have food service after 11 am any day of the week in June/July/August. For the price ($59) there are several better options.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Average course for the area, Better courses for less nearby
