Fantastic layout, though a faders paradise as every dogleg is to the right. Definitely a must play with a yardage book, GPS or someone with local knowledge, as many shots are blind depending on your position off the tee. Fairways and greens were in great shape, and the tiered rough wasn't overly penal on errant drives. Plenty of water on the course, as well as environmentally sensitive areas. Bunkers were well manicured and the sand actually fun to play out of. Will definitely play this one again.
Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
