Enjoyable day on the course. It was our first time playing. There's no layout on the card and they are in the process of putting up new signage on the tees, so there were a couple of spots that were a little confusing. It was a good layout and in good shape for this time of the year. A few bare spots, but they are just coming out of winter. The greens have a lot of character. Will play again when we're in the area.
The fairways and greens were well kept and very nice compared to other courses around east Texas, the clubhouse had good food and affordable drinks which made for a good start to the day, however after eating lunch after hole 9. We noticed a sign that said “to speed up play thru you can call the clubhouse and get food for pick up”. There wasn’t a mandatory part on the sign so we stopped and ate just as we do at the other 6 courses we play in east Texas. The food did take about half an hour for us to get but was enjoyable. After starting on the back 9, we were approached by a man saying that they are going to catch us and that stopping and eating was not allowed at this course, even though it is a public course. After words were exchanged we kept playing and trying to make it thru the back 9. We did have two novice players which slowed us down. After a couple more holes we had another person ride up to us as we were heading to hole 17 saying that we need to get out of the way or hurry up because they had a group of 8-10 teams behind us and we’re waiting on us. After stating that we were trying as much as possible he then kept pushing the issue, right after that he stated that he was the owner and that he would have us escorted off the property because we should be playing faster, when an employee showed up, we had a long conversation with him. He stated that no course “out of the 20” he has worked at allows players to stop and eat lunch. After a 10 minute delay we went back to finishing up the last two holes while having golf balls driven at us. I don’t know if that is the reason there weren’t a ton of people out there for a beautiful Saturday, but getting over the small town politics and bullying would really help this place to thrive. Harassment while trying to play golf is a bit much, especially by men who look to be retired, but the course staff not even acknowledging that we were not doing anything wrong and blaming us is rude and unnecessary. Besides the last 30 minutes of our experience there it was very enjoyable. But we will not be coming back to spend our money there. CHEERS.
Haven't played golf in years. Use to be proper etiquette would be you ask to play through if you behind some slow players not complain to management. Had some snobs go start to management and complain about our group. After they demanded we skip holes and hurry up after we paid the same price as everyone else. Honestly a waste of my money and don't think I'll be about.
Really enjoyed this golf course! Greens and Fairways were in excellent shape. Staff was friendly and the lunch was good. It was definitely worth the hour drive!
Played on 6/29/23. The golf course was so nice. Loved the greens and fairways were outstanding.. it's obvious their taking great care of the course. Can't wait to play again
For a Country Club, I was unimpressed with course. Very dry, not well taken care of, green were pretty good. Just Top dollar for green fees and not a very green course. My course in South Dakota is greener. I wouldn't play there again.
We had the Valentine's dinner. It was so very good. The event was well planned. The catering staff was very professional and served all parts of the meal flawlessly. Our appetizers and entrees were hot and very good. We enjoyed it very much.
