GC is good shape, pace of play was 4 hours, challenging course, but they have tees for all levels, so you can score if you play from you handicap tees. Staff is very good, and the ranger keeps slow groups moving, so that you finish in about 4 hours. We played in the morning and paid full price, $64, but there were online deals for less in the afternoon.

Enjoyable course, but a bit narrow and too much water for my level of play.

THIS COURSE USED TO PRIDE ITSELF ON THE CONDITION OF THE GREENS. THEY WERE ALWAYS SMOOTH AND GOOD LOOKING. THESE WERE NOT THE SAME

Without a coupon this is an $80 round, which is too steep for my tastes. At $45 though, it's a great and gorgeous course.

This is a beautiful course layout. Super slopey and generally narrow fairways with hazard usually on one side and OB on the other. Agree that the greens are super hard and fast, one approach took one bounce on the green from a 6-iron and bounced 20 yards to the fescue. Also, if you miss the green by 5-10 feet, prepare to watch your shot take a 90 degree bounce into a hazard as most of the greens are severely sloped on all sides. Not for the faint of heart, bring extra balls!

First class operation. Hole #9 is spectacular.
