Tee sheet placement is a bit close for any chance of a quick play...the course has some scenery, greens roll well, overall conditions solid. Some reasonable mounding and thoughtful bunkering (bunkers mostly play nicely too) highlight what to strategize for. Staff is average+ Definitely improved with management change a while back as greens used to be consistently poor/slow...Because of that (about 4 times in a row) I avoided this course for quite some time but find it playable/enjoyable again. Not a first or second choice, mind you, unless the price is right (which can be found even during the peak winter time).
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
