Fairways and greens in very nice condition. Fast greens. Trees on only 2 holes but fairways lined with tall grass making tee shots a premium. Water comes into several holes. GPS on carts and very friendly staff as well as a large practice area for full swings, bunkers, chipping and putting. Great value for the area. Several leagues available. Slow play on weekends.

Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing, Ranks with the best in this price level

Nice variety of holes. Primarily a links type course with a few tree-lined holes thrown in. Numerous tall grass "natural areas" that are designated as lateral hazards. Greens were a little on the lumpy side. Staff: check-in, starter, ranger and cart girl all very friendly.

Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area

I try to play this course at least once a month. It's a nice layout and depending on your skill level you have three tee choices. It's one of my favorites.
