Well this is a two-edged review because the course is excellent, the staff as well, etc...so to get that, one must pay a higher price...that said, there are other courses I prefer if this one is $20 or more than they. Regarding the water, there is a bunch of it but one can play safely away from it 80% of the time. Use the yardage book if you're unfamiliar, as the water edge is not always seen, and a good shot or two can get swallowed up. The greens are excellent year round and you better putt well with slopes and multiple tiers. The fairways are most often lush and the rough not too 'rough'. Bunkering is fair but some bunkers tend to be quite hard, a definite negative...better get a good read on that before your shot.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area
