I played this course on a very discounted rate offered for the last two weeks of the season to residents of the county that I live in. This was the first year that the whole course was open to the public and it is fantastic. It has fast fairways and greens and as it's name implies, it had a lot of sand and hills. It was in excellent shape for such a young golf course. My only complaint would be that it is a walking only course which is quite a challenge if you are a little older as I am.

I played this course with my grandson Logan and we both enjoyed it very much. At my age,70 I played it a little slower and would have liked to have had a cart. It is like no course I have ever played and you have to play it youreself to see what I mean. You will return as I plan to. Staff is wonderful and food is fantastic.
