The course is a little expensive for what it is and the pace of play is not incredible, but its well kept, the greens are consistent, the tee boxes are well kept.

Instead of talking about what’s missing (a lot) focus on what it has to offer (also a lot.) This is one of the better public options I’ve played from a design and playability perspective.

Great value and great pace. Played here many times. Not going to knock your socks off, but going to be the best value in the area. Pace of play is also very manageable.
