Played as a twosome at 7 am and behind 3 foursomes. But, they must have been regulars as we finished in 3 hours! The course is a very interesting layout with most holes being very entertaining. The front nine has a number of holes with environmentally sensitive areas mostly to the right. The greens were ok, a bit thin and bumpy due to recent rains and too much Poa. Bunkers had good amounts of sand and were very playable. Fairways were pure and tightly mowed hybrid bermuda. The 16th hole is a long 450y par 4 steeply downhill with a large island green. The big challenge is to hit a solid 2nd shot from a downhill lie. Nice challenging #1 handicap hole! Reasonable rates and friendly staff - good course to play at least 3-4 times per year if you live locally.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
