The West Course is the only one open at this time. The East Course is closed for renovation until November (2008).
The West is the more difficult of the two courses. The fairways and greens are well-maintained and the greens are the fastest in the area (and putt true).
The only objection I (and other players) have is the length of the rough. The grass is so thick and "gnarly" that it is not unusual to lose two or three golf balls a round (and I am talking about only a few feet off the fairway!!!) Otherwise it is good test of golf and compares with Don Shula-s Golf Club and other courses nearby. The new practice putting green is excellent as is the driving range.
Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
