This is an okay course. There are some things that could be done to drastically improve the course. Number 9 is the worst hole in the county. The tee shot is pointless, because you have to hit a short iron off the tee. There is no decent landing area on the next shot since the fairway is shaped like a "v". All together, it's just something that fit there, but it's not a test of golf whatsoever. Number 4 is much of the same with a pointless tee shot that you would have to hook, not draw, in order to put it in the fairway. Then there's the wonderful smell on the front nine.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
