I went as a guest of a member. Walked 18 holes with a caddy. several very memorable holes, especially 18 where you tee off over a valley and have to play up a hill (about 35degrees) to the green. A real killer after walking the rest of the course.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line:I would play again
