Traveling through the area in late April and decided to stop in for a 1:30pm tee time. Being a Wednesday ($35 senior) it was fast play shooting 42/39 w/ 34 putts from the blues (6,688yds) in 3.5 hrs, playing through 2 groups. Very challenging tree lined layout, average width fairways, greens holding very good and trees keeping the few side by side holes separated and safe from stray shots. Great yardage book for being a first time player and matched my Sky Caddie very close. Watch #6 split fairway(LH better) and #7 / #17 island greens for yardage as they both are elevated and play shorter than I thought. Worth your stop if driving on the turnpike as its 10 minutes from the toll both. The ranger told me 5hrs is a normal round BUT in the PM 3.5 - 4.0hrs is what I should expect. Looking forward to playing again, in the afternoon.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area
Condition of Course, Price, Layout, No Houses on Course, Clubhouse
