Located just off Hwy-23 Exit 5 is a great place to stop for a afternoon round @ $23 18/cart for a Arthur Hills 6,840 yd track. Even though its a links layout, it has a lot of deceiving bunkers that raise their heads if you stray. The wind out of the west can add three (3) clubs and make the carries very tough. The number #8 island green is laid out like Sawgrass #17 only with a left to right wind moving the ball most of the time. Shot 84/37putts on a windy afternoon during my 3hr round by myself. The tee to green conditions were in great shape for the time of year and with the few trees plays well into closing time. Lowering their prices ($55 to $25) has been a big help in getting bodies on the course, as its always packed when I drive by in the AM.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level
