Last played here in 2000 and paid $37, got the 2016 Tuesday Senior $30 special today which is GREAT for this course. Not a flaw in conditions from tee to green in this spread out, tree lined track. Pin placements made these fast greens made them tougher than they already were. We started playing from the tips (Gold 7,078yd / 74.1 / 137) but moved to the Blues (6,437yd / 71.0 / 130) with better landing areas for our shorter length drives. The pace was slower than I like because of all the grey hairs (4.75hrs) but the views/price was worth the wait from the normal $57 price tag. Shot 40/42 w/38putts and was glad I played Sunday at Jackson Country Club to get my putting speed down. Best course in the area with conditions / treatment to match any Country Club setting. Must play if in this area and take advantage of the Tuesday Senior special.
Would travel: 60-120 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, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area
Condition of Course, Price, Food/ Bar facilities, Difficulty, Staff, Layout, No Houses on Course, Clubhouse
