Have played this course 10-15yrs ago and never got the time to get back here but, very glad I did. Fairways and greens in great shape and being the first group out, 3hr 15minutes and the 3 of us were done. For a fairly flat layout the rolling greens make up for what looks like a easy track. Could use better yardage markers as its only sprinkler heads and alot are missing. Played from the tips @ 6,452yds with #18 under repairs being the only flaw. Shot 87/39putts as I was hitting greens in the wrong locations (many front placements)and Never hit above the cup and charge the cup. Great price for seniors (55+) @ $25 w/ drink & dog at the turn, I'll be back.

Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing

Always enjoy playing at a course where the conditions are kept at high standards and your game is the only flaw. The rough was extra thick/wet today which took its toll on missed fairways. Greens were rolling very smooth and true but found myself fixing ball marks from yesterdays players. Played from the green tees (6,189yds) and my 14 year old granddaughter played from the reds (4,680yds) both down all day. Was proud that she shot 112/46putts and played it down without any gimmes. Some missed 2' putts that will make her line up EVERY putt from here on out. I shot 83/38putts with one 2' / 4putt side hill mistake for a par save that went bad. Looking forward to playing the West side next time as its more challenging on the layout. $33/18 w/ cart isn't bad for the great conditions and layout.
