Played on a crystal clear morning and started on-time at 7:00 a.m. The starter was friendly and helped us out by rearranging our courses for us -- starting on the River and finishing on the Pine. We'd never played here before and were pleasantly surprised. The tee boxes were in good shape, the vast majority were level and relatively divot-free. The fairways were in good shape too. I don't remember any bare spots but there were a few muddy areas where drainage looks to be an issue. The rough was just short enough to keep you from losing an errant drive. The greens were firm and pretty fast. Approaches and chips had a tendency to run more often than check, which can create challenges because some of the greens are small. We were a walking foursome and finished the front in about 2 hours, with virtually no waiting. But on the back, we caught up with the groups ahead of us -- a walking twosome immediately ahead and two fivesomes in carts ahead of them. We waited on each of the final 4 holes due to very slow play by the 2 riding fives, even though a Marshal was alongside them. It took 3 hours to finish the back (and we didn't take a break at the turn). Despite the slow play on the back, we enjoyed the round, and with weekend rate of only $33 fee to walk...I know we'll be back again.
