Played this course on a bounce back coupon so the $60 fee was very reasonable. Normally this course is over $100. However, if you have not played the course before, the more expensive rate is worth it. We had a two hour frost delay but the staff handled it well. The course is a fantastic layout with no hole the same. There are some very dramatic elevation changes with the 6th hole being the most spectacular. The greens were perfect, the overseeded fairways very green and uniform, and the bunkers in great shape. I have played here about 6 times and my only complaint is that you can expect at least a 5 hour round. The course is pretty difficult for most golfers (please pick a tee one up from your usual), and the distance between holes adds significant time to your round. And, at times, they often sneak groups in front of you on the back nine which slows fast groups down. But, I am nitpicking as this is a great course with a super hotel and casino. Give it a visit!
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Expensive and worth it
