First of the four (4) courses we'll be playing in this area. Decided to play from the tips 6,803yds / 72.1 / 129 and wished later I played the Whites @ 6,208yds because of the landing areas. Great yardage book with marked sprinkler heads give very accurate readings to the non-typical shaped greens as I learned to aim for the middle. Most fairways are not forgiving when missed and I would put them on the narrow side for our Blue landing areas. Smooth greens, great sand with a mix of water on about half of the holes coming into play. Shot 46/47 w/ 30putts (4hrs)as the driver strayed today and I paid the price. Highlight was son, Barry on #15/394yd/Par 4, missed drive, topped 3W then the 4I and THEN slam dunked the 9I in the hole, for a par. (Gotta love this game) Great layout and price to put on your places to play if your in this area.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing, Ranks with the best in this price level
Condition of Course, Price, Pace of Play, Ambiance, Layout, Clubhouse
