Here's a course which has improved greatly over the past couple years as I average playing it a handful of times a year. The course is tight at times (both water and bunkering), albeit a bit short to compensate, and requires a good deal of thought. The greens are quite undulated and require some good reading skills. They do not overseed other than the fairways and around greens , which means errant tee shots not TOO far off, are actually rewarded 20-30 yards distance wise, a definite negative. Get it on the right portion of the green for a chance at one putt. Also, beware the 18th fairway as we ALWAYS get a little bit of 'action' from off the driving range along the right side...they really should revamp their safety system between. Conditions do get a little 'ratty' during the summer months, compared to others in the area. Price is always more than fair though.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
